Industry Insights

The global household cleaners market was valued at USD 28.51 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2017 to 2025. The rising importance of cleanliness and hygiene in residential and commercial spaces has added to the demand. Increasing concerns associated with Guinea Worm Disease, Buruli Ulcer, Trachoma, and Schistosomiasis expected to increase the utility of household cleaners.

Global household cleaners market

Cleaners have side effects as they contain chemicals such as perchloroethylene (PERC), phthalates, quaternary ammonium compounds (QUATS), and triclosan which can cause skin-irritation, asthma and sore throat.

Manufacturers are focusing on the development of natural and organic cleaners having low toxic content. For instance, in November 2018, U.S.-based NatureZWay developed a new eco-friendly perforated towel derived from bamboo. Companies are also investing in R&D initiatives to develop new products. For instance, in 2017, TTK Prestige, under its Prestige Clean Home segment, developed India’s first domestic electric mop.
