The rapid spread of the COVID-19 around the world has brought hygiene practices into sharp focus. On a personal level, all people are attentive about regularly sanitizing and washing their hands. Meanwhile, in grocery stores, hospitals, and other facilities that deliver essential services, teams of cleaners are working overtime to disinfect and clean surfaces. Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, floor cleaning was essential for infection control. Floors are not as high-touch as many other surfaces (light switches, door handles, etc.), but contaminants on the floor can transfer to these other surfaces very easily. Individuals can kick contaminants into the air with their shoes, germs can travel on carts and other equipment, and whatever picked up off the floor can bring contaminants with it. Thus, the fastest, safest, and most effective way to clean hard floors in institutional, commercial, and industrial facilities is with a scrubber dryer. Thus, the demand for scrubber dryers is likely to increase post-COVID-19 era.
Rapidly growing focus on infrastructure development from government and private sector is major driver behind the growth of the scrubber dryers market across the globe. Over the years, floor cleaning equipment has become one of the most important tools in commercial buildings. Need for hygiene and appearance has led to a significant rise in adoption rates of floor cleaning equipment across both residential and commercial spaces. Moreover, in the commercial buildings sector, growing emphasis on smart facilities and increased awareness among consumers to maintain clean surroundings will result in improved demand for the product.
Rising prevalence of infectious diseases and shortage of labor for floor cleaning work offer lucrative opportunity for scrubber dryer market. Scrubber dryer market is projected to witness considerable rise in demand in the years to come. The facility management (FM) industry is observing technological advancements in the construction and infrastructure sector, which has increased the demand for advanced floor cleaning machines. Demand for floor cleaning machines among manufacturing companies is constantly increasing due to stringent regulations on pollution levels and environmental conservation. Governments across various countries are constantly looking forward to improve floor quality and hygiene, which is pushing various industrialists to implement advanced technologies.
Higher cost and easy availability of alternatives may hamper demand for scrubber dryer to some extent. Scrubber dryer is expensive machine and there are many alternatives present in the market. For instance, a scrubber dryer could cost more than $1,000. It can clean up tough stains, but it will do so only if the cloth pads are replaced often. This would mean spending $30 or so every month on pads. This is one of the main reasons it's hard for scrubber dryer to reach and become widely adopted across household and other commercial establishments like restaurants, hotels, etc. Another important reason could be that it uses electricity or running water – both often scarce – whereas a mop and bucket provide effective cleaning without consuming too much water or energy.
Utilization of traditional cleaning equipment can be a major challenge to the scrubber dryer market. The widespread utilization of traditional or conventional floor cleaning equipment in household application is also likely to hamper the growth of the market. Machines such as sweepers, brooms, vacuum pumps, etc., has affected demand for scrubber dryers, globally. The primary factor that attributes towards more utilization of conventional cleaning methods is the high cost as well as high maintenance cost of these dryers. Furthermore, a significant increase in the prices and taxes of scrubber dryers has impacted demand for the product. Automation and high maintenance cost of these machines make it difficult for many users to afford them.
