EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The UK market for non-domestic cleaning substances increased by 15 percent in value terms between 1996 and 2000. The value of the non-domestic cleaning substances market increased by 3 percent to a value of £591 million (940 million) at retail selling prices in 2000.
MSI believe that floor cleaning substances accounted for the most significant proportion of the non-domestic cleaning substances market in 2000, representing some 47 percent of total sales. The importance of floor cleaning products reflects the large amount of floor space in commercial and industrial properties. However, as the construction of buildings in the sector increases so does the demand for floor cleaning products.
The proportional importance of contract cleaners as end users of non-domestic cleaning substances increased throughout the review period. Indeed, sales to contract cleaners rose significantly to reach £257 million (409 million) at retail selling prices in 2000. The increase in sales to contract cleaners reflects the popularity in the UK to outsource non-core activities to third parties.
MSI believe that the main factors which affect the demand for non-domestic cleaning substances are:
MSI forecast that the UK market for non-domestic cleaning substances will increase by 12 percent in real terms between 2001 and 2005. The main reasons for this include the increased awareness of hygiene and cleanliness, particular cleaning requirements of different end users, and the expected increase in industrial and commercial construction output throughout the forecast period. Furthermore, the flooding and foot and mouth outbreak which have occurred during late 2000 and 2001 have also increased demand for cleaning substances in the short term.
Demand for non-domestic cleaning machines has continued to increase throughout the review period, with the value of the market rising by 23 percent between 1996 and 2000. Indeed, the UK market for non-domestic cleaning machines rose to £166.8 million (265.2 million) at retail selling prices in 2000.
MSI believe that hard floor cleaning machines continued to account for the largest proportion of the total market throughout the review period. Indeed, sales of hard floor cleaning machines accounted for 50 percent of the total value of the market in 2000. However, between 1996 and 2000 sales of pressure cleaning machines have achieved the highest rates of growth.
MSI believe that as a consequence of the trend to outsource cleaning activities during the review period, contract cleaners continued to be the most significant end user of non-domestic cleaning machines. Indeed, it is estimated that 66 percent of the total sales of non-domestic cleaning machines were made to contract cleaners in 2000.
There are a number of factors that affect the demand for non-domestic cleaning machines. These include the following:
MSI forecast that the UK market for non-domestic cleaning machines will increase by 16 percent in real terms between 2001 and 2005. Factors such as the changing requirements of end users, the expected increase in construction output and longer business hours, are expected to have an effect on the UK market for non-domestic cleaning machines during the forecast period.
