Construction companies, contractors, and skilled professionals in the industry commonly use pressure washers for cleaning and surface preparation in various construction tasks, such as equipment cleaning, concrete cleaning, brick and masonry cleaning, graffiti and stain removal, and building exterior cleaning. This surge in construction activities significantly contributes to the demand for pressure washers. For example, data from the United States Census Bureau in May 2023 revealed a 3.8% increase in construction spending, rising from $1,768.2 billion in March 2022 to $1,834.7 billion in March 2023.

These statistics underscore the impact of increasing construction activities on driving the pressure washer market.
The rise in automobile production is expected to drive the growth of the pressure washer market in the future. Automobile production involves the manufacturing of vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other motorized vehicles. Pressure washers are used in manufacturing plants and assembly lines to clean vehicle components, equipment, and facilities. As automobile production increases, so does the demand for industrial-grade pressure washers for these tasks. For instance, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based motor vehicle industry group, reported that global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, representing a 5.7% increase from the 79.1 million units produced in 2021. Thus, the rise in automobile production is fueling the growth of the pressure washer market.
