Market segmentation of commercial scrubbers and sweepers

Scrubbers were the largest segment, accounting for over 57% of the market share in 2020. Commercial scrubbers are further segmented into walk-behind, stand-up and ride-on variants by type of operation. Commercial walk-behind scrubbers dominate approximately 52% of the market share in 2020. Commercial walk-behind scrubbers are environmentally friendly and reduce the use of harmful chemicals. Some of the major brands that make commercial walk-behind scrubbers are Nilfisk, Karcher, Comac, Bissell, Hawk, Sanitaire and Clarke. Companies such as IPC Eagle and Tomcat manufacture green cleaning devices. Ecological cleaning guarantees a reduced impact on human health and the environment.

With the innovations in battery technology, the demand for battery powered scrubbers and sweepers is expected to increase during the forecast period. Industrial and commercial floor cleaning machine manufacturers are adopting lithium-ion batteries because of their higher productivity, longer runtime, low maintenance, and shorter charge time. Advances in battery technology increase runtime and reduce charging time, leading to the growth in adoption and use of battery-powered equipment.

Contract cleaners are the largest segment of commercial scrubbers and sweepers, with approximately 14% market share in 2020. Globally, contract cleaners are the most potential segment for commercial scrubbers and sweepers. The growing trend to hire professional cleaning services to maintain commercial spaces is expected to drive the market growth.
