Covid-19 Impact on Industrial Floor Scrubber Market

The coronavirus pandemic has largely been beneficial towards the industrial floor scrubber market. While demand has slumped in the hospitality sector owing to restrictions on food service businesses, stricter implementation of hygiene standards in other end use industries, especially in the healthcare sector has bolstered sales and adoption rates.

Unlike manual cleaning tools, the use of industrial floor scrubber solutions permanently removes germs from cleaning surfaces, minimizing the risk of recontamination. Also, these mechanized cleaning tools such as robotic scrubbers enable contact-less cleaning operations, and faster cleaning of large areas. These trends will bolster demand throughout the crisis period, and beyond.

The Analyst’s Viewpoint

“A key driver for the industrial floor scrubber market has been the massive rise in the hospitality and housekeeping sectors in recent years. The growth in tourism prior to the pandemic had bolstered demand for hotel rooms and restaurants, which are large-scale buyers of industrial floor scrubbers. The demand is likely to continue growing in the post-pandemic era.”
