Global Industrial Vacuum Cleaner Market - Forecast 2021 to 2026

The global industrial vacuum cleaner market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.92% during the forecast period to reach US$908.756 million by 2026, from US$649.291 million in 2019. Vacuum cleaners are essential instruments for doing routine maintenance and cleaning. Workshops, cement factories, chemical, and textile plants all use industrial vacuum cleaners as they provide several advantages, including the removal of tough deposits and hard stains from industries and manual labor savings via continuous cleaning operations.



One of the key reasons driving the global industrial vacuum cleaner market during the forecast period is their rising adoption across different industries to keep the premises clean and in compliance with government laws. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a division of the US Department of Labor, has established guidelines for keeping workplaces clean and sanitary. As a result, several manufacturers of industrial cleaning equipment produce industrial vacuum cleaners that meet OSHA requirements. Cleaning in industries can be done effectively and in much less time with the help of industrial vacuum cleaners than with traditional cleaning methods. The public's knowledge of workplace safety and cleanliness is growing by the day. Each industry faces its own set of cleaning issues. End-user industries' mounting concerns over hygiene, health, and safety is propelling the demand for industrial vacuum cleaners over the forecast period.

The high cost of machinery and the hefty structure of industrial vacuum cleaners remains a stumbling block in the market expansion. The demand for rapid cleaning solutions has increased as emerging countries such as China and India have become more industrialized but the industry is fiercely competitive, with many market players contending for the same consumer base.

Key Developments

Alfred Karcher SE & Co. KG and Brain Corp, a San Diego-based AI and robotics startup, established a technology agreement in November 2019 to bring autonomous floor care solutions to market with the industry's first autonomous stand-on vacuum cleaner. The release of the new Model 1050, a continuous-duty industrial vacuum cleaner designed to suction high-density materials such as steel shot, grit, cement, foundry sand, and other similar materials, by VAC-U-MAX increased its industrial vacuum cleaning product portfolio in September 2019.

By type, the global industrial vacuum cleaner market is segmented into dry vacuum cleaners and wet vacuum cleaners. Dust is collected with dry vacuum cleaners, which are not waterproof. Wet vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, are waterproof and can suck up oily or watery residue. Because of their simplicity and cost-effectiveness, dry industrial vacuum cleaners are popular and these are utilized in a variety of industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and glass.

By power source, the global industrial vacuum cleaner market is segregated into pneumatic and electric categories. Electric vacuum cleaners may be easily transported from one location to another, making them ideal for vast cleaning areas. Due to their great suction force and superior appropriateness for continuous operations, three-phase electric vacuum cleaners are commonly utilized in industries.

By end-user industry, the global industrial vacuum cleaner market is segmented into food & beverages, manufacturing, metalworking, pharmaceuticals, building & construction, and others. The food & beverages segment will boost the demand owing to the presence of severe government requirements in the food and beverage industry regarding safety. According to OSHA, foodborne illness costs the food industry about US$ 15.6 billion each year. Industrial vacuum cleaners are important for food safety as well as plant and worker safety. To avoid paying the hefty economic penalty imposed on those who do not follow the norms of good manufacturing practices or who do not use the HACCP protocol in manufacturing process organization, it is critical to prevent any possible microbiological and cross-contamination. Hence, industrial vacuums are used.

By geography, the global industrial vacuum cleaner market is segmented into North America, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific regions. The Asia Pacific industrial vacuum cleaner market is expected to be driven by the increased adoption of advanced technologies for industrial and commercial applications. The spike in demand from China, Japan, and India is further aiding in the market expansion. According to Chinese central government estimates, 60 percent of the Chinese population was residing in cities by the end of 2020, resulting in increased demand for building activities and an increase in the market for industrial vacuum cleaners. Due to early technological adoption in various end-user sectors such as food & drinks, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals, Europe and North America held a significant market share in the industrial vacuum cleaner market.

COVID-19 Insights

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the industrial vacuum cleaner market. Changing consumer choices and behavior as a result of the evolving pandemic is having a significant impact on the industrial vacuum cleaner market over the projected period. Due to greater awareness of social distance and virus spread, it is resulting in increased usage of industrial vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, a greater emphasis on personal hygiene and care would affect future demand for cleaning services, ultimately driving up demand for these devices in the industries.
