Market Overview

The global grout cleaning equipment market was valued at USD 235.2 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 312.2 million by 2029, with a CAGR of 4.0%. Grout, used to fill gaps between flooring pieces, enhances aesthetics and prevents dirt accumulation. However, foot traffic causes dirt buildup over time, affecting appearance and posing health hazards. The demand for grout cleaning equipment is driven by the need for cleanliness and hygiene. In the US, the majority of the population resides in urban areas, prioritizing aesthetics and incorporating plants into living spaces, contributing to market growth. The global population is expected to exceed 8 billion by 2022, with a shift to urban living driving residential and commercial construction, requiring regular maintenance activities and increasing demand for grout cleaning equipment. Rising environmental and health concerns have led to increased adoption of green cleaning solutions, as harsh chemicals used in cleaning services can harm the environment and human health. The COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasized the importance of hygiene, leading to regulations and guidelines worldwide that promote good hygiene practices and contribute to the grout cleaning equipment market growth.

The global grout cleaning equipment market is experiencing a surge in the popularity of cordless equipment due to their ease of handling compared to corded ones. Cordless grout cleaners offer hassle-free operation and unrestricted movement without the limitations of a cord.

These batteries are cost-effective and widely available, contributing to the dominance of cordless equipment in the grout cleaning equipment industry. Water-based technology holds a significant share of the global grout cleaning equipment market. Water, mixed with various chemicals, is highly efficient for cleaning purposes in residential, commercial, and professional settings. While water-based grout cleaning equipment is driving industry growth, it is more restricted in outdoor cleaning due to tougher stains on outdoor flooring. The grout cleaning process in various spaces mainly falls under the indoor application category, with specific methods and equipment available for outdoor and indoor cleaning. The demand for indoor grout cleaning equipment is increasing in residential units due to higher disposable income and a greater focus on hygiene and cleanliness in family homes post-COVID-19, supporting the growth of this segment.

The global grout cleaning equipment market is dominated by professional cleaning, with manufacturers like Tile Eze and Dewalt offering a wide range of equipment for this sector. Collaboration with industry professionals improves equipment efficiency and cost.

The online distribution channel is expected to have the highest growth rate, driven by high internet penetration and the convenience of comparing products and prices. In North America, which holds the largest market share at 36.3%, well-developed residential and commercial sectors contribute to dominance. Demand for grout cleaning equipment is driven by ongoing construction activities. The APAC region is expected to experience positive growth due to construction and outsourcing, driven by increasing disposable income and two-income families.
