Aqueous-based metal cleaners are water-based solutions used
to clean, degrease, and prepare metal surfaces. These cleaners are effective in
removing dirt, oil, grease, and other contaminants from metals in various
industrial applications. They are widely used in industries such as automotive,
aerospace, manufacturing, and heavy machinery. The global demand for
aqueous-based metal cleaners is expected to reach USD 14.6 billion
by 2027 with a CAGR of 5.4%. The report throws light on the competitive
landscape, segmentation, geographical expansion, and revenue, production, and
consumption growth of the market. Industry trends, growth analysis, aqueous-based
metal cleaners market size, and forecast offer details of the factors
influencing the global business scope. The growing demand for environmentally
friendly and non-toxic cleaning solutions has spurred the adoption of
aqueous-based metal cleaners across several sectors.
The Manufacturing Cleaning Association states, "
Aqueous metal cleaning chemicals are water-based with low or no VOCs (volatile
organic compounds). Instead of dissolving grease like solvent metal cleaning
chemicals, aqueous metal cleaning chemicals rely on heat, agitation, and
additives to break down the contaminants and wash them from the surface of
components. Due to the water content, aqueous systems produce minimal hazardous
waste, contain no ozone-depleting properties, and offer better operator acceptability.

Rinse technology is the second-largest aqueous-based
metal cleaner technology during the forecast period
Rinse technology is majorly used in big spray machines to
remove loose soil and chemical residue from the surface of the metal part. It
is used to ensure that all the dirt, soil, and chemicals are removed from the
object. Rinsing is an important part of the cleaning process. To remove heavy
chemical residue sometimes, multiple rinses are required. The volume of the
water required for rinsing depends on the type and concentration of the washing
chemical used.
Alkaline is projected to be the fastest-growing chemistry
type of the aqueous-based metal cleaners market during the forecast period
Alkaline is the most commonly used chemistry type of
aqueous-based metal cleaner. This solution is used to remove grease from
various types of metals. Alkaline solutions rinse well after cleaning, and as a
result, no residue is left behind. The use of alkaline cleaners is increasing
due to the growing awareness of environmental and personal safety associated
with chlorinated and petroleum-based solvents. Properties such as nontoxicity,
non-volatile, non-combustible, and biodegradability make them environmentally,
which drives the market demand.

Builders is the second-largest aqueous-based metal
cleaner by cleaning chemicals during the forecast period
Builders are inorganic components that maintain the pH value
and reduce water hardness. They act as co-emulsifier and enhance the cleaning
efficiency in synergy with surfactants. Builders also keep the removed soil,
especially particles, dispersed and prevent them from re-depositing on the
metal. With rising pH, they increasingly saponify greases or fatty oils that
further contribute to soil removal. Alkaline builders are applied in cases
where highly alkaline systems are too aggressive to the metal surface. They are
mostly made from phosphates, mainly tri-sodium phosphate, but also silicates or
carbonates.
Healthcare is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use
industry during the forecast period
In the healthcare industry, cleaning demands the preparation
of the surface for sterilization. Healthcare cleaning procedures aim to keep
instruments and equipment clean and sterile, prolong their working life,
minimize cross-contamination, and reduce medical waste. The ideal detergent for
cleaning reusable instruments should have a neutral pH to prevent corrosion or
other surface degradation.
South America is projected to be the second
fastest-growing market -during the forecast period
The South American aqueous-based metal cleaners market is
segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America. The demand for
aqueous-based metal cleaners in this region is projected to grow at a lower
rate than in Asia Pacific. However, the region is a promising market for
aqueous-based metal cleaners owing to stable economic growth and development.
The development of the infrastructure sector and improved standard of living
are expected to boost vehicle sales.
