Pressure Cleaners – A Current Look At The 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 over 50 manufacturers of pressure cleaners in Italy which is disproportionately much higher than any other country in the world. Only recently, China has begun manufacturing and now have many manufacturing bases cloning pressure cleaners based on cleaners from 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.
China have made a particularly large entry into the petrol powered pressure cleaner market, especially cloning motors such as Honda. While the developing Chinese market is lucrative due to the low manufacting costs, the machines in various sizes and performance ranges have made a high performing pressure cleaner a very affordable option to the small electric pressure cleaners which cannot match the performance of the gasoline/petrol units.
Small electric pressure cleaners have been manufactured in China in small numbers with different degrees of reliability success, but they have been limited in producing hot water pressure cleaners. The Hot Water pressure cleaner which basically heats it’s own water in the unit after it has been pressurized, is a much more complicated unit than the much simpler, less complex cold water pressure cleaner. Once the overall quality control process and the quality of steel improved, the Chinese machines will make very fast inroads into the Commercial/Industrial market of Hot Water Pressure Cleaners.
The pressure cleaner industry is enormous world wide, but there is no collaborative work done between companies leaving very little statistical data or 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.
