Unveiling the boom: China's rise in cleaning tech and how you can profit

The cleaning and hygiene market has expanded exponentially in China in recent years. China is fast becoming one of the most important markets for cleaning products, equipment, resources and services and is predicted to be world-leading in the coming years.

The Chinese cleaning market has expanded because of the growth and investment in infrastructure in China, that has meant the general living standard is rising.

This has increased demand for professional cleaning, disinfection and hygiene products and services in the commercial market as well as in the home.

This blog dives deep into the exciting world of China's booming professional cleaning and hygiene industry, highlighting the trends and developments shaping its future and the immense potential it holds for your business.


Doing business in China: Etiquette and IP

For those looking to trade with China there are also important factors to consider in terms of things like intellectual property rights and general business etiquette, which can often be quite different from Western attitudes, if not a little daunting. It’s essential to familiarise yourself with these essential practices and protocols – the more homework you do, the better prepared you’ll be!

There are certain proven and successful business networking approaches you should take when doing business in the region. For instance, it is essential to be up to date with how China’s attitude to the protection of intellectual property has significantly changed for the better in recent years. Over the last decade China has increasingly emphasised a national commitment towards improving their global reputation and attracting more foreign businesses by strengthening their IP system and laws.


Why is China's market emerging?

China has rapidly transformed into a global leader in cleaning technology, leaving its mark on the international market. This remarkable rise can be attributed to several factors:

  1. Economic growth: China's booming economy, with a rapidly growing disposable income and increasing urbanisation, has fuelled the demand for professional cleaning services.
  2. Focus on innovation: Gone are the days of copycat products. China is now a hotbed of innovation, consistently pushing boundaries with cutting-edge technologies like AI-powered cleaning robots and eco-friendly solutions.
  3. Sustainability as a priority: Consumers in China are increasingly demanding eco-friendly products and services. This trend is driving innovation in biodegradable cleaning agents, recycled materials for cleaning tools, and energy-efficient equipment.



Top cleaning trends in the industry

  1. AI revolution: China is at the forefront of integrating AI into the cleaning sector. Imagine driverless street sweepers that differentiate and collect waste or robots that disinfect hospitals using UV technology. This is the future, and China is leading the charge.
  2. Sustainable solutions: Driven by growing environmental awareness, China is a pioneer in sustainable cleaning practices. Biodegradable detergents, recycled tools, and energy-saving equipment are just a few examples of how China is cleaning up its act.
  3. Quality and branding: The cleaning product market in China is flourishing. Consumers are demanding high-quality, branded cleaning agents, detergents, and disinfectants alongside eco-friendly options.


Healthcare cleaning takes centre stage

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the healthcare cleaning sector in China. The focus has shifted towards advanced technologies like UV disinfection robots that enhance cleaning efficiency and minimise infection risks in hospitals.


Environmental sanitation on the rise

China's rapid urbanisation has led to a surge in the demand for sanitation services. Innovative solutions like self-driving sweeper vehicles with remote monitoring systems and eco-friendly waste disposal methods are paving the way for a cleaner future.
