Car and Truck Wash Market (By Type: Hand, Machine, Self-service, Coin Operated, and Others; By Type of Washing: Interior, Exterior, Others; By Ownership: Private and Professional; By Vehicle Type: Car Wash and Truck Wash; By Service Offering) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Revenue, Regional Outlook and Forecast 2021-2030

The car and truck wash market size was reached at US$ 15.1 Bn in 2020 and predicted to surpass US$ 25.2 Bn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2030.

Expansion of the global car & truck wash market can be attributed to increase in focus of consumers on vehicle maintenance and spending power. Globally, more number of consumers are using professional car washing services, instead of washing their vehicle at home, owing to busy job schedules and time constraints.

Vehicles accumulate dirt, grime, and harsh chemicals on the vehicle surface over a period of time. These foreign particles can cause the vehicle metal to corrode and damage the vehicle exterior. These deposits are hard to remove using only a sponge or brush. Washing a car or a truck using household cleaning products at home could result in scratches on the surface of the vehicle, further damaging the vehicle’s exterior. This, in turn, is compelling consumers to use professional car wash services, thereby driving the global car & truck wash market.

Drivers

• Stringent regulations pertaining to environmental pollution prompts consumers to wash their vehicles at a professional car & truck wash facility. For instance, in Germany, regulations related to car washing are stringent. In case of a professional car & truck washing facility, wastewater is treated and recycled; however, in case of car wash at home, a large amount of water is wasted. This, in turn, prohibits customers to wash their vehicles at home, as the polluted water drives the demand for professional car & truck washing services.
• Likewise, other countries, such as the U.S., the U.K., Russia, and Poland have also enacted stringent regulations to maintain cleanliness and orderliness of vehicles. These countries also prohibit people from washing vehicles at residential places or private properties in order to prevent automobile contaminants from entering the drainage. This favorable regulatory framework is propelling the global car & truck wash market.
• Miles driven per vehicle are increasing globally, owing to a rise in transportation activities. According to the data generated by Enerdata, a program by the European Union, countries such as Austria, France, and Spain has witnessed an increase in distance travelled by cars. Rise in trade activities has further increased the usage of commercial vehicles. This rise in miles travelled per vehicle exposes the vehicle to high amount of dirt, grit, snow salt, and other such elements that degrade the performance and esthetic appeal of the vehicle, thus increasing the demand for cleaning services. Thus, rise in sales of automobiles and miles travelled per vehicles is propelling the car & truck wash market globally.

Challenges

The nature of public transport has changed considerably over the past decade. A shift in adoption of public transportation or shared mobility services has been witnessed. Moreover, degrading air quality has prompted local governments to promote clean fuel operated public transport and encourage society to minimize the application of personnel vehicles, which, in turn, is anticipated to hinder the global car & truck wash market.

Increase in automatic car washing stations is likely to reduce the number of employees working in the car washing and detailing industry, as it requires only one or two employees to operate the equipment, which, in turn, is likely to fuel unemployment. This, in turn, is estimated to negatively affect the trends toward automatic car wash stations; consequently, hampering the global car & truck wash market.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic hampered majority of businesses across the globe, owing to forced lockdown, which caused people to stay-at-home. The forced lockdown led to temporary shutdown of car and truck washing centers; subsequently, contracting the global car & truck wash market. However, the global car & truck wash market is expected to expand 2021 onward, owing economic measures taken by governments to recover from financial losses caused by forced shutdown of business activities during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
