Industrial and Institutional Cleaning Chemicals Market size was valued at USD 49,200.1 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2023-2029. Industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaners are the largest sector of consumer surfactants. These cleaners are composed of a variety of chemicals including acids, alcohols, bleaches, disinfectants, solvents, and surfactants, and are widely used for routine cleaning of industrial, commercial, household, and public institutions. 

The rising use of industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals in several sectors is the major driver fueling the demand for industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals. As industries such as food and beverages, automotive and transportation industry, construction, restaurants, and hospitality industries grow, the demand for industrial cleaning chemicals increases. Numerous versatile characteristics including degreasing, detergency, odor control, fast-acting, stain removal, and several other properties make it a suitable cleaning agent for use in various industries. Moreover, owing to its sanitization, sterilization, disinfectant, and antimicrobial properties, hospitals, laboratories, schools, offices, and other institutions increasingly use these cleaning chemicals to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and maintain hygiene. Hence, as the sectors grow, the demand for these chemicals increases, which in turn drives the growth of the industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals market. In addition, increasing governmental and regulatory requirements for hygiene and cleanliness is another major factor driving the growth of the industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals market. Several industries and institutions are adopting effective high-quality cleaning chemicals to comply with the government’s hygiene and cleanliness regulations. Owing to the rising health and safety concerns in various public sectors and workplaces, the government is mandating the use of high-performance industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in severe penalties, legal consequences, and the possible closure of organizations.

However, the health hazards caused by chemical cleaning and high competition concerning the final prices of the product are the major factors that hinder market growth. Meanwhile, growing awareness pertaining to workplace hygiene and rising government investment provides a huge opportunity for the industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals market growth. The industrial & institutional cleaning chemicals market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions, launches, and collaborations by the market players. For example, in August 2022, HUL expanded its cleaning product portfolio to serve food services, hospitality, laundrettes, offices, and schools.
