KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global ultrasonic cleaning equipment market size was valued at USD 604.8 million in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 943.6 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period.


Today, manufacturers focus on reducing the possibility of unexpected machine breakdowns, ensuring less downtime, and enabling a smooth flow in the manufacturing process. To maintain the manufacturing ecosystem, regular industrial machinery cleaning and maintenance is vital. In the above mentioned scenario, ultrasonic cleaning is an efficient solution introduced to remove traces of chemical products, oils, pigments, dirt from complex components with cracks, joints, or restricted access without damaging them. Besides, the evolution of various sophisticated technologies embedded in equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), statistical process analysis, and many others is likely to drive the product demand.           


COVID-19 to Impede the Opportunities for Metal Cleaning Vendors Owing to Halted Operations


The recent COVID-19 pandemic has increased the market ambiguity, leading to shutdowns of production hubs and disruption in the supply chain ecosystem. COVID-19 pandemic is a catastrophe, where the world has turned upside down on humanity by disrupting livelihoods and is combating a full-blown health emergency. According to the United Nations (UN) analysis, the global economy will shrink up to 1% in 2020, according to the previously predicted growth of 2.5%.


The COVID-19 pandemic has unsettled international trade and global supply chain processes. For instance, the America Iron and Steel Institute stated that only 50% of the capacity was operating compared to the previous year, which fell around 80%. This was mainly due to halted manufacturing activities and reduced mill production. Similarly, the production of steel in Europe reduced by 50% due to the lack of new orders falling by 75%. The fluctuation in steel and metal prices also resulted in ultrasonic cleaning systems prices further letting manufacturers reduce their profit margins to sustain in the global market.


In the long term, refurbish centers and metal cleaning vendors are likely to fuel the market due to the rising concerns for metal cleaning across various industry verticals such as healthcare, aerospace and defense, automotive, etc. For instance, in November 2020, Rotherham-based distributor Lloyd announced the opening of its new refurbishment center. The facility utilizes the latest industrial cleaning technology, including ultrasonic cleaning machines, polishing machines, etc.


LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of Intuitive Technologies to Fuel Product Demand


The increasing shift towards smart factories and industry 4.0 brings a new wave of the market trends for smart cleaning devices and equipment. For instance, several ultrasonic equipment configured with intelligent generators that can monitor and optimize the cleaning process at every level are gaining popularity among customers. These devices are further equipped with intelligent sensors and measurement devices capable of automatic temperature control, wastage management, and others.


Owing to such introduction of intuitive technologies, the market for ultrasonic cleaning machines is expected to propel in the forthcoming years. Besides, significant gains in cleaning solvents and chemicals are factors responsible for the demand for ultrasonic cleaning equipment. The stringent regulatory norms, the emergence of small and mid-size companies, and rapid growth in the healthcare and aerospace industry create a potential impact on the market and significant opportunities for SMEs.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Focus on Cleaning Precision Machine Parts to Favor Market Growth


Today, the deployment of connected and intelligent machines across various user industries is thriving rapidly. These smart machines are configured with various connectors, and precision engineering parts, which require critical cleaning at regular intervals to degrease the contaminants from the surface and to prevent future equipment failure. In such cases, the utilization of ultrasonic cleaning equipment plays a pivotal role in removing such stains as high-frequency sound waves are released in the solvent liquid from surfaces submerged in an ultrasonically activated liquid. Besides, the evolution of sophisticated technologies, mainly storage of cleaning process data, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), statistical process analysis, and others are likely to contribute to the adoption of ultrasonic cleaning systems across industries.                            


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Integration Cost and Lack of Awareness is Anticipated to Deter Market Growth


The lack of awareness observed across developing geographies is a significant factor responsible for hindering the growth of the market. Today, metal cleaning end-users use conventional metal cleaning machines instead of ultrasonic due to massive investment in configuring such devices, lack of skilled operators, and high switching costs. Also, the involvement of government agencies to ensure the safety of workers and reduce environmental risk such as waste generation while metal cleaning and the coating is likely to decrease the product adoption in the near future. For instance, The Environmental Protection Agency and California OSHA have put forth stringent guidelines to limit personnel exposure to toxic materials.
