Floor Scrubber Battery Market Restraint

Complex Development of Fuel Cells used in Scrubber Batteries is a Concern for Market Growth

The development of fuel cell solutions for floor cleaners may hinder market growth. The market in developing countries is facing challenges due to the spread of environmentally friendly and sustainable cleaning solutions. The informal sector, which makes up a large part of the workforce in some Asian countries, relies on traditional methods such as watering and washing for cleaning.

Floor Scrubber Battery Market Opportunity

Increased Awareness for Hygiene and Sanitization after COVID-19 has Created new Opportunities

The world has become more aware of keeping the environment clean and healthy following the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an increasing emphasis on the cleanliness of the house. If the areas were unsanitary, they would grow bacteria, which may cause more infections. Therefore, in order to stay healthy and safe after an epidemic, there is a greater need for hygiene practices. The growth of floor scrubber batteries is creating new opportunities in the residential and commercial sectors.

Analysis by Battery Type

Based on battery type, the floor scrubber battery market is fragmented into lead-acid battery, Li-ion battery, and others.

Lead acid batteries are widely used in portable chargers due to their cost-effectiveness compared to Li-ion cells. Lead acid cells are designed to maximize current flow and minimize internal resistance. These batteries are adjustable, mostly maintenance-free, and have a very high capacity to use. Further, with new technology trends, lithium-ion battery is going to be the fastest-growing technology in the near future.

• In April 2022, Tennant announced the introduction of lithium-ion technology to its range of AMR machines, including the T380AMR, T7AMR, and T16AMR. This latest electronic technology provides additional benefits to customers worldwide in the cleaning industry.
• According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the demand for professional cleaning robots (AP2) grew by ~4%. In addition, in 2023, the global sales of professional service robots increased by ~30% and medical robots by 36%. Around ~6,100 units of medical robots were sold, and the IFR Statistical Department registered 205,000 professional service robots.

Analysis by End-User

Based on end-user, the market is divided into industrial, commercial, and residential.

The floor scrubber batteries used in the industrial sector are mostly heavy-duty batteries for industrial flooring, factories, and warehouses. In the commercial sector, these are used in offices, government/ private buildings, schools, and others and in residential areas, it is for large complexes, bungalows, terraces, and others, to reduce human intervention.

Regional Analysis

To gain extensive insights into the market, Download for Customization

Based on region, the floor scrubber battery market has been studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

In North America, the U.S. market is growing owing to huge industrial and commercial applications. In the U.S., lithium-ion batteries are widely used for scrubber batteries as they hold full power until fully discharged and provide continuous performance for floor cleaning. This has excellent cleaning results even in the presence of stubborn dirt. It is a great advantage, especially for washing machines that work in the industrial sector.

North America depicts continuous technological developments in each and every sector due to presence of suitable startup ecosystem. For instance, in 2019, Avidbots, primary involved in manufacturing commercial floor cleaning robots, raised ~USD 23.6 million in Series B funding led by returning investor True Ventures.

Europe has huge traction for industrial floor scrubber batteries in industrial countries such as Germany, the U.K., France, and others. Industrial scrubbers for larger floors are electronic, while models designed for smaller spaces can be wired. The main advantage that comes with a battery is that there are no restrictions on movement. The industrial battery cleaner does not create pollution. It works only with the limitation given by the autonomy of the battery operation, which is the reason for the demand for the battery charger market in the region.

In Asia Pacific, growth in the manufacturing industry and demand for floor machines in the retail, hospitality, and healthcare sectors are driving the demand for electric machines in the region. A favorable outlook for the housing and hospitality sector will boost the regional market growth.

• The U.S. plans to provide more than USD 1 billion in the short term to support clean energy production in India by the end of year 2025. The U.S. wants to support the production of clean energy technology in India in five areas of environmental concern and will increase investment in the floor-cleaning battery market.

In Latin America, the commercial and residential use of these batteries is gaining popularity due to a fall in prices as manufacturing units are occurring in the region. Therefore, growth of the market in the region is promising in the near future.

The Middle East & Africa market depicts great potential for floor scrubber batteries in the commercial and residential sectors as considering the industrial use of these batteries.
