Growing Demand from Commercial and Industrial Sectors

The demand for detergent chemicals from commercial and industrial sectors is expected to increase significantly over the coming years. With growing industrialization and urbanization worldwide, the needs for cleaning and hygiene products are burgeoning in offices, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, and other public spaces. Proper cleaning is indispensible for maintaining hygienic conditions in commercial establishments to minimize the spread of infections. It is also important from business perspective as clean premises create a positive impression on customers and clients. The food processing and healthcare industries have very stringent hygiene standards to comply with. Thorough cleaning and disinfection of surfaces, equipment and work areas is mandatory in these sectors. Various detergent chemicals specially formulated for industrial and commercial applications such as degreasers, disinfectants, sanitizers etc. are finding increasing usage. Moreover, with increasing health awareness, consumers also expect high hygiene levels from public places like restaurants, malls, public transport etc. This is propelling the commercial establishments to step up their cleaning activities and opt for powerful, multi-purpose detergent products. Growing focus on cleanliness and disinfection in public buildings, transportation systems and workplaces will continue boosting the demand for detergent chemicals from non-residential segments.

Growing environmental consciousness among people as well as stringent regulations have increased the preference for natural and bio-based alternatives to conventional chemical-based cleaners. There is a widespread perception that plant-derived and eco-friendly products are safer for individuals as well as the surroundings. Consumer demand for natural, biodegradable and sustainable cleaning agents is swiftly growing. As a result, detergent manufacturers are investing in R&D to formulate new 'green' products using plant extracts and other natural components. For example, bio-surfactants obtained from coconut, corn and other crops are being developed as efficient substitutes for synthetic surfactants. Natural citric acid is gaining popularity as a green substitute for phosphates in automatic dishwasher formulations. With rising environmental stewardship, the government and regulatory bodies of many countries are also imposing bans or restrictions on toxic chemicals and promoting sustainable alternatives. This encourages detergent brands to shift their portfolios toward natural and bio-based varieties. The advances in green chemistry and biotechnology has made it feasible to derive high-performance cleaning ingredients.
