Airport Cleaning Machine Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Type (Truck-Mounted, Walk-Behind), Application (Surface Cleaning, Rubber Removal, Paint Removal, Others), and Region

The global airport cleaning machine market was valued at US$ 2.7 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to US$ 4.4 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.

Airports are a regular hub of a large volume of travelers and are also among the dirtiest places. Making sure the high-traffic areas in an airport are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized can enhance the place's visual appeal and alleviate the mood of the staff and the travelers. Investing in a professional cleaning service that can maintain the look and functionality of the airport area can be a good idea.

The high amount of traffic in airports and other public transportation buildings and complexes creates some unique cleaning challenges. Airport cleaning staff need solutions has to deal with very large areas that see thousands of people pass through each week. The larger area, combined with the increased soil and germs passengers, brings in calls for some creative solutions. Fussy, detailed cleaning can’t be done on a daily basis, but certain tasks can’t wait. Daily floor and restroom maintenance of airports, bus stations, and the like call for techniques and equipment that clean larger areas in shorter amounts of time.

Market Drivers and Trends

Today, the entire world is facing and fighting COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is a disease that spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Keeping cleanliness has, therefore, become paramount importance. As the economy opens and travelling to various countries/states eases up, airport authority has added responsibility of keeping the airports sanitized and clean for passenger safety and security. This has therefore led to an increase in need and demand for effective and comprehensive cleaning machines.

Airport authorities operating across the globe have now changed and updated their sanitation and cleanliness norms. For instance, in India, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) and Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) have been maintaining enhanced standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Over 400 housekeeping staff were deployed for the process of large-scale sanitation. Similarly, in the US, the BWI Marshall Airport terminal has also invested in upgrading and enhancing the cleanliness norms and procedures. In June 2020, in Toronto, Canada, The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), which operates and maintains Toronto Pearson, launched its ‘Healthy Airport’ program - an all-inclusive program that summarizes the steps the airport and its partners are taking to be ready for the new realities of air travel, and to lead the aviation industry in advancing the future of healthy travel corridors.

Market Restraints and Challenges

Increasing overall maintenance and repair cost of airport cleaning machines and likely restraining market revenue growth in the forecast period. Further, increasing volatility in raw material prices and the high maintenance cost of airport cleaning machines are anticipated to hinder market growth during the forecast period. Growing volatility in raw material prices negatively influences the ability of manufacturers to produce airport cleaning machines based on specific requirements.

Global Airport Cleaning Machine Market Segmental Overview

The report analyses the global airport cleaning machine market based on type, application, and region.

Global Airport Cleaning Machine Market by Type

Based on type, it is segmented into truck-mounted and walk-behind. The walk-behind segment is expected to be the largest segment in the airport cleaning machine market in 2021. Walk-behind airport cleaning machines are traditional equipment that are used majorly for ground cleaning. These machines are designed with triangular brushes, and they exhibit high cleaning efficiency. Due to above mentioned factors, the walk-behind segment is expected to hold a major market share in 2021.

Global Airport Cleaning Machine Market by Application

Based on application, it is segmented into surface cleaning, rubber removal, paint removal, and others. The surface cleaning segment is expected to be the largest segment in the airport cleaning machine market in 2021. When passengers are relaxed and enjoying the space, they are in, they tend to spend more and stay longer. The job of a janitor is so important because routine airport cleaning contributes to the experience and safety of the customer, from the floors they walk on to the tables they eat and drink on. Surfaces throughout the airport, including the ticket counters, benches, and store shelves, should be cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis. This prevents the transfer of germs and keeps the entire area smelling fresh and clean. For the safety of all the travelers who pass through airports daily, deep cleaning of the surfaces, carpets, bathrooms, and trash cans are essential. Thus, the surface cleaning segment is expected to hold a major market share in 2021.Geographical Analysis of Global Airport Cleaning Machine Market

Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The North America market is expected to hold the majority of the market share in 2021. North America has a developed aviation market, and it is the most influential region in the world. The airport authority across the region focuses on developing and adopting smart and advanced cleaning technologies across all its airports. American airports are the busiest in the world; almost half of the world's busiest airports are in the US. Because of increased air traffic worldwide, the airport authority is constantly focusing on improving airport facilities, including adding new terminals. Thus, it propels the growth of the airport cleaning machine market in North America.Major Players in the Global Airport Cleaning Machine Market

The key players studied in the global airport cleaning machine market are

COVID-19 Impact

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in economic challenges owing to subsequent lockdowns. In 2020, the manufacturing industry was severely affected due to a drastic decrease in product demand, falling prices, and storage shortages. A swift decline in manufacturing revenues due to virtually nonexistent manufacturing demand and slow production capabilities had limited the expenditure on the production of airport cleaning machines worldwide. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the global airport cleaning machine market in 2020.

However, in 2021, the manufacturing industry started recovering from the significant labor and supply chain challenges that triggered the production of airport cleaning machines.
