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.

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
