The market size of metal cleaning agents has reached nearly 100 billion yuan, and manufacturing is the largest application industry.
Metal cleaning agents refer to the general term for cleaning agents used to clean oil, wax, rust, glue, paint, powder, carbon deposits, fingerprints, sweat stains, cutting fluids and other substances on the surface of metal materials. Metal materials that can be used for cleaning include common Copper, iron, steel, galvanized sheet, aluminum, aluminum alloy, etc. and other metal materials.
Metal materials are widely used around the world, and many fields such as automobiles, aircraft, high-speed rail, construction, and electronics require a large amount of metal materials. Industrial Research Center released “Metal Cleaning 2023-2028” The “In-depth Analysis of the Metallurgical Industry and the “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Plan Guidance Report” shows that in recent years, with the growth of global metal consumption, the automotive, aerospace, electronics, manufacturing and other industries have The demand for metal cleaning agents continues to increase. In 2022, the global metal cleaning agent industry market size will be nearly 100 billion yuan. It is expected that the global metal cleaning agent industry market size will reach 130 billion yuan in 2028, with huge market space.
(1) Water-based detergents have the fastest growth
Metal cleaners are divided into water-based cleaners and solvent-based cleaners according to the type of cleaner. Water-based metal cleaning agents are metal cleaning agents that can be diluted with water. Solvent-based metal cleaning agents are mainly composed of hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil. Water-based cleaners have the characteristics of low VOC content and low toxicity. They do not dissolve grease like solvent-based cleaners. Instead, they rely on heating, stirring and additives to break down contaminants and wash them away from the surface of parts. They dominate the field of metal cleaning. status, and demand is growing fastest.
(2) Chelating agent has excellent performance in hard water
According to different ingredients, metal cleaning agents can be divided into chelating agents, surfactants, solvents, solubilizers, pH regulators, and others. Among them, chelating agents are also called complexing agents, which are negatively charged or oxygen-containing molecules that can be combined with positively charged ones. Electric metal ions react to form stable complexes. Chelating agents are mainly used to soften hard water and facilitate cleaning. They are widely used in industry, such as hard water softening, sewage treatment, papermaking, chemical purification, metal extraction and separation, textile printing and dyeing, dye manufacturing, etc. The excellent performance of chelating agents in hard water has propelled them to become the second largest segment in the metal cleaning agent market.
(3) Manufacturing is the largest end-use industry
Manufacturing industry refers to an industry that uses certain resources, according to market requirements, and transforms them into large tools, industrial products and consumer products that can be used and utilized by people through the manufacturing process. The manufacturing industry has many categories, wide distribution, and large industrial scale. A large number of production equipment, intermediates, and products in the manufacturing industry contain metal materials and require cleaning and decontamination. In terms of value and quantity, the manufacturing industry is the largest manufacturer of metal cleaning agents. Application market. Especially driven by the rapid development of manufacturing industries in emerging countries such as China and India, the application of metal cleaning agents in the manufacturing industry is still growing.
