Car Wash Global Market Report 2024

Description

Car washing involves the process of cleaning both the exterior and, occasionally, the interior of motor vehicles, employing diverse techniques and equipment to uphold the vehicle's appearance and condition. This service can either be performed manually or automated, with automated systems employing machines to efficiently clean the vehicle. Regular car washes are crucial for maintaining the vehicle's appearance and safeguarding its paint and finish against damage caused by dirt, grime, and environmental elements.

The primary types of car washes include roll-over or in-bay systems, tunnels, and self-service setups. Roll-over or in-bay car washes are automated systems where the vehicle remains stationary while cleaning equipment moves over it. These systems incorporate various components such as drivers, motors, foam systems, dryers, and pumps, and offer multiple processes including cloth friction and touchless washing techniques.

The car wash market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $31.76 billion in 2023 to $33.46 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth during the historical period can be credited to the rise in discretionary income, increased awareness of vehicle maintenance and care, which acted as a significant catalyst boosting demand for professional services in the car wash industry. Furthermore, advancements in AI and automation also contributed to this growth.

The car wash market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.46 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for car wash services due to their numerous benefits, growing consumer preference for professional car wash services, the introduction of new car wash services, and a heightened focus on enhancing vehicle aesthetics with environmentally-friendly wash systems. Key trends in this period include advancements in technology, eco-friendly innovations, diversified service offerings via digital platforms, improvements in customer experiences through digitalization, and revenue enhancement through value-added services.

The growth of the car wash market is driven by the increasing number of vehicles, spurred by population growth, economic improvements, and urbanization, which heighten demand for personal and commercial transportation solutions. Car wash services play a crucial role in maintaining vehicles by safeguarding their exterior and interior surfaces and enhancing their overall appearance. Notably, as of December 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported a notable increase in the production share of electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCVs), rising from 4% in 2021 to 7% in 2022 and reaching 12% by 2023. This trend underscores how the growing vehicle population drives the expansion of the car wash market.

Key players in the car wash industry are innovating with technologies such as RO Flow On Demand to improve water efficiency and deliver superior cleaning outcomes. RO Flow On Demand technology optimizes reverse osmosis (RO) water usage, minimizing wastage while maintaining high cleaning standards, thereby supporting sustainable and environmentally friendly car wash operations. For instance, innovateIT, a U.S.-based car wash equipment company, introduced InnovateIT RO in 2022. This system utilizes a specialized Grundfos pump and RO Flow On Demand technology to efficiently produce high-quality, spot-free water for car washes. The 'Flow on Demand' algorithm of InnovateIT's RO system adjusts the reverse osmosis production rate according to the specific demands of the car wash tunnel, ensuring responsible resource consumption and sustainable water management practices.
