Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market Size Outlook (US$ Billion) and Growth Forecasts (%), 2021- 2030
Metal cleaning chemicals are used to perform diverse cleaning functions including flux removal, removal of surface accumulations, oil, grease, rust, oxides, and dirt removal from tanks, and others. Poor cleaning can result in defects in printed metallic parts. Due to the cost-effectiveness of alkaline chemicals, they are widely used for metal cleaning purposes.
The global Metal Cleaning Chemicals market size stood at $13.1 billion in 2022. Further, strong end-user industry demand is driving the market outlook. From 2023 to 2030, the Metal Cleaning Chemicals market is likely to register a steady revenue increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.53 percent to reach $20 billion by 2030.
Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market Trends- Rust prevention additives being integrated into water-based metal cleaners
Water-based metal cleaning chemicals offer superior health and safety profile and have emerged as the most used chemical type worldwide. The rapid shift from solvent-based chemicals to aqueous chemicals is being observed, predominantly to overcome the volatility, flammability, and health/safety-related challenges posed by solvent metal cleaners.
Over 78% of the market share is held by aqueous (water-based) metal cleaning chemicals. Further, the segment is poised to register the fastest growth rate as well over the forecast period. On the other hand, challenges related to rust and aluminum staining restrict wide adoption. Accordingly, companies are focusing on rust-preventive additives in aqueous metal cleaners, which can remove a wide range of soils while protecting ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces.
Market Opportunities- Key function of metal cleaning chemicals- Surfactants
Surfactants remain the dominant type of metal cleaning chemicals. Surfactants are added to achieve degreasing, emulsification, oil rejection, wetting, low-foaming, and others. Different types of surfactants such as Anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants are marketed by companies. Companies like Dow are marketing low-foam surfactants for metal cleaning applications. Clariant offers corrosion inhibitors and neutralizing agents in addition to low-foaming surfactants. Evonik, AkzoNobel, and others also market a wide range of surfactants for individual application requirements. Spray-type, immersion type and ultrasonic-type application forms are gaining strong demand driven by the high potential of metal cleaning chemicals.
Metal Cleaning Chemicals Market Share Analysis- Water-based chemicals dominate the markets worldwide
Water-based chemicals are relatively safer and pose no health risks. Accordingly, manufacturers and consumers continue to prefer water-based metal cleaning chemicals to solvent-based products. The launch of cost-efficient and superior-performance aqueous metal cleaning chemicals supports the market growth outlook.
The chart below provides the market share analysis of metal cleaning chemicals by water-based and others.
