The anticipated increase in automotive production is poised to drive the growth of the industrial degreaser market in the coming years. Automotive production encompasses the entire process of manufacturing motor vehicles, including passenger automobiles, light trucks, and commercial vehicles, involving aspects such as concept creation, design, and specification development. Industrial degreasers play a crucial role in the automotive industry by facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of various vehicle components. The widespread adoption of degreasers in the automotive sector is evident in the cleaning and upkeep of diverse vehicle parts. For example, data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) in May 2023 revealed that global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, representing a 5.7% increase compared to the previous year. This substantial growth in automotive production is a key driver propelling the industrial degreaser market forward.
Major players in the industrial degreaser market are actively focusing on developing innovative products to better cater to customer needs. One such innovation is the introduction of high-purity hydrocarbons and alcohol degreasers, employing highly purified solvents for crucial cleaning applications. These solvents are integral components of degreasers used to eliminate grease, lubricants, cutting fluids, corrosion inhibitors, and other contaminants commonly found in industrial applications. In July 2023, Molyslip, a UK-based specialist lubricant manufacturer, launched SLIPCLEAN RD. This unique cleaner and degreaser, formulated with high-quality hydrocarbons and alcohol, effectively removes various industrial soils and impurities, including oil, grease, carbon deposits, inks, and semi-cured adhesives. SLIPCLEAN RD's rapid evaporation rate ensures quick drying, resulting in pristine surfaces.
In October 2022, Hospeco Brands Group, a US-based manufacturer and supplier of personal care, cleaning, and protection products, acquired ChemCor Chemical Corp. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Hospeco to offer a more extensive range of specialty chemical products, including degreasers, cleaners, and disinfectants. The acquisition of ChemCor Chemical Corp, a Southern California-based manufacturer and distributor of specialty chemical products, enhances Hospeco's capabilities in providing a comprehensive line of cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing products to its customers. This strategic move underscores the commitment to strengthening product portfolios and expanding market presence within the industrial degreaser sector.
