Pressure Washer Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Cold Water Pressure Washers, Hot Water Pressure Washers), By Power Source (Fuel-Based Pressure Washers, Gas-Based Pressure Washers, Electric Pressure Washers), By Application (Residential, Commercial, Industrial) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

High-pressure washers are increasingly used to remove loose paint, mud, dust, and other unwanted materials from the surface or objects. Pressure washers are available in different categories such as floor washers, vehicle washers, roof washers, and others. Additionally, manufacturers provide pressure washers within the different pressure ranges such as 0 to 1500 PSI, 1500 PSI to 3500 PSI, and above 3500 PSI. Hydro-pressure-based washers are increasingly becoming popular among the industries and commercial places as they can remove chemicals and other dirt materials from the floors more effectively.  

Companies largely provide innovative pressure washer products that efficiently clean the dust and other particles from the floors. Additionally, they are focusing on developing application-specific cleaning products to cater to specific customer needs. For instance, in November 2019, MUC-OFF, a vehicle care products company launched a bike-specific pressure washer in the USA.

Shifting consumer trends towards the usage of the cleaning equipment over manual cleaning coupled with the increasing income of the global population is fuelling the demand for such products. Additionally, the factor such as growing awareness of keeping cleanliness and hygiene around the surroundings among the global population is constantly driving the growth of the market.

Moreover, rising residential and industrial infrastructural facilities related to the chemical industries, corporate housings, public gardens, and others are likely to support the demand for pressure washers. According to the statistics presented by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the number of new houses sold in the U.S. increased by 13.9% in July 2020 as compared to that of June 2020. The growing trend of indoor and outdoor renovation and decoration activities among the households and residencies is likely to support the growth of the businesses related floor cleaning services which thereby drive the growth of the market.

However, the wide availability of alternative products such as vacuum cleaners, scrubbers, and others is anticipated to limit the demand for pressure washer products. Additionally, the uncertain occurrence of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions has temporarily hampered the supply chain of such equipment
