Global Car Care Products Market Analysis

Product Type Analysis

Car cleaning products accounted for more than 32.2% of the total revenue in 2021. This is due to their wide usage in removing contaminants from vehicles’ exterior surfaces. Car wash shampoo and detergent are a very popular segment of the industry because they safely remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants from vehicles. Car wax was the second-largest revenue share for 2021. It is expected that it will grow at a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. Protect the vehicle’s exterior with waxes. You can buy waxes in liquid or paste forms. These waxes are specifically formulated to repair minor scratches, add shine and protect the vehicle from stains. Waxing your vehicle can also reduce the cost of repairs and refinishing.

Polishes are the main product used for paintwork care and enhancement. Polishes can be used to remove contaminants and protect the paint. This helps to increase the vehicle’s aesthetic value and gives it a polished appearance. Polishes can also be used to prolong the life of paint and remove stubborn dirt. They also condition paintwork so it doesn’t crack or peel.

Packaging Analysis

Due to its versatility for both commercial and individual use, the 501-999 ml packaging volume segment had the highest revenue share at 38.2% in 2021. The segment’s growth is expected to be positive due to an increasing number of people choosing maintenance and repair services such as car washing and detailing. The 251-500 ml packaging volume segment was the second largest revenue share in 2021. It is expected to grow at a lucrative CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period. These packaging volumes are generally intended for small garages or individuals. The segment is likely to grow because of an increase in disposable income.

Distribution Channel Analysis

In 2021, retail chains had a 48.2% revenue share. It is expected that the growing number of organized retail chains around the world will support the distribution and sale of car care products. Multinational retail chains like Costco and Walmart offer lower pricing, which allows car care products to be sold at lower prices than other channels. The e-Commerce segment was the second largest and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Retail distribution channels will be supported by third-party agreements that allow for greater penetration of niche markets and the establishment of local service shops.

End-Use Analysis

In 2021, the retail (B2C), the segment had the highest revenue share at over 67.9%. The segment growth is expected to be supported by the growing demand from car owners for care products, as well as the availability of products on commercial markets. Product sales will be supported by the retail market due to the growing popularity of Do-It-Yourself (DIY), applications for car maintenance. Individual owners are choosing to purchase the products at retail and apply the products themselves due to the high cost of car maintenance at a professional station. The retail market has seen a rise in popularity due to the wide selection of products available in the local markets. The professional end-use of car products includes application at equipped service stations, maintenance yards, or cleaning service providers. This segment will grow at a slower rate due to the high cost of professional services and limited product availability at professional service shops.
