Squeegee Market

Global Squeegee Market: Overview

With the rapidly growing printing industry and home cleaning applications, squeegee has found an extensive space as a critical source for cleaning in these industries. A Squeegee is a tool with a flat, smooth rubber blade that is extensively used to control the flow of liquid on a flat surface. Initially squeegee were used for cleaning and printing, but nowadays squeegees are used extensively for various purposes. A squeegee is used for floor cleaning, printing and photography, glass cleaning and many other applications. Further, the emerging trend of manufacturing customized squeegees are also driving the demand for the product in the market. The global market for the squeegees consists of small and large manufacturers and is driven by local or regional manufacturers. Since squeegees are flexible and portable, a single squeegee can be used for multiple cleaning purposes.

Global Squeegee Market: Dynamics

A primary factor driving the squeegee market is the rapidly growing printing industry in developing regions. Since squeegees are affordable and user-friendly, it is one of the first few products that is picked for cleaning purposes. The low cost squeegees composed of natural rubber are the most abundantly used squeegee in the market. Attributing to the easy availability of squeegees in different regions, the squeegees have witnessed high growth in the market.

The biggest innovation in the squeegees market is the increase in the use of composite squeegees or the multi-durometer blade. This has led to a substantial growth in the squeegee market. Natural rubber possesses poor abrasion resistance and poor resistance to strong solvents, which is a crucial restraint for the natural rubber-based squeegees. Increasing urbanization and emerging economies in the developing regions drive the growth of the squeegees market.

Global Squeegee Market: Regional Overview

The global squeegee market can be segmented on the basis of the geographical region as:

• North America
• Latin America
• Europe
• CIS & Russia
• Japan
• Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ)
