Pressure Cleaners – A Look At The Current State Of The Industry
Pressure cleaners, also known as steam cleaners, waterblasters, is an industrial area which has been dominated predominately by the Italians.
Ten to fifteen years ago, there were as many as 60 different manufacturers of pressure cleaners still operating in Italy which is by far the largest in the world. Only recently, China has begun manufacturing and now have many companies making pressure cleaners, most of the cloning machine made in Italy.
Whilst the entry of China into the pressure cleaner market has been very quick, the overall quality of manufacturing still has a long way to go to challenge the Italian industry in this field.
In the area of pressure cleaners, China have made large inroads into the market of petrol powered pressure cleaners by cloning mostly Honda motors. With manufacturing costs more attractive than anywhere else, the pressure cleaners in this area of the market provide an affordable options compared to the smaller electric cleaners that do not match the quality of other manufacturers.
The Chinese market has produced a number of small electric cold water pressure cleaners with varying levels of success in relation to reliability but the foray into Hot Water pressure cleaners has been much more limited. The hot water pressure cleaner which heats its own water within the unit, is a much more complicated unit than the much simpler, less complex cold water pressure cleaner. When quality control improves and the quality of steel is also improved, the Chinese machines will make very fast inroads into the Commercial/Industrial market of Hot Water Pressure Cleaners.
The Pressure Cleaner industry world wide is enormous but the Industry as a group is very disorganised as a collective body and as such there is very little statistical data available on realistic market size, market share and joint manufacturing research and development.The larger companies are concerned about sharing technologies and sales figures, therefore have no immediate want for an all encompassing body.
The other stumbling block with obtaining statistics from companies is that not of them rely on the same markets.Some focus solely on the small electric machines for the domestic market, other solely on large machines for the industrial market while others manufacture for all markets.
Small electric pressure cleaners dominate the market share in Australia based on sales numbers. These sales numbers may be the same elsewhere in the world, although there’s no statistical data to prove this.
