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.
