[164 Pages Report] The global car care products market is projected to grow from USD 11.8 billion in 2019 to USD 16.1 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period. Increased availability of water-based solvents, consumer awareness towards vehicle maintenance, increase in new car sales, increase in the disposable income of consumers, advancements in car wash technology etc., are some of the major factors for the growth of the market.
The product segment includes wheel care, interior exterior care, paint cleaning and protection, paint restoration for the old vehicles etc. Recent innovations such as bio-based car wash detergents and soaps have been creating an impactful trend shaping the product innovation strategies of the manufacturers. Ease of use and relatively affordable price point continue to influence sales potential for cleaning and car care products.
Interior car detailing requires more effort and time than exterior detailing do. A dirty interior cabin not only has a bad odor but also adds to operational complications. Dirty air exhaust spreads allergies through the cabin, stain and grit causes the sensors and switches to fail, and hazy windows can obstruct the view of the driver. Hence cleaning car interiors is more than just washing with soap and water. Cleaning of interiors like dashboard, floormats, carpets, upholstery, etc., is achieved through steam cleaning and vacuuming techniques.
There has been a bigger push towards water-based solvents by major car care manufacturers because the market is price sensitive and the raw materials needed for this type of solvents cost less. Many countries in the world are facing acute water shortage and hence governments have imposed rules and regulations towards the usage of water for car wash. Many car care products like (shampoos, polish wax etc.) manufactured today do not require water to clean the surface after their application but can be wiped off the surface with a dry cloth/microfiber cloth.
Asia Pacific is the largest market in the world for the car care products. China and Australia hold the maximum share for the market. The rise in the per capita income in the developing countries like India will drive the market further. There has been high demand for the car care products due to increase in premium car sales. There have been older cars (more than 5-7 years) plying on the streets in countries like India and China, which will further drive the growth of car care products in the region.
The car care products market is dominated by 3M (USA), Illinois Tool works (USA), Autoglym (UK), Sonax (Germany), Würth Group (Germany), Soft99 Corporation (Japan), Tetrosyl (UK), Simoniz USA (USA), Turtle Wax (USA), Liqui Moly (Germany), Northern Labs (USA), Armored Group (USA), Automagic (USA), Bullsone (South Korea), Jopasu Systems Pvt. Ltd. (India), and Guangzhou Biabong Car Care Industries Co. Ltd. (China).
The key strategies adopted by major companies to sustain their position in the market are expansions, contracts and agreements, and partnerships.

The company has specialized in all the market segments and is present in all the four regions considered (Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Russia and Brazil) through its strong network.
