A carpet cleaner is designed to remove firmly embedded dirt and stains from carpets. It includes a pump, vacuum, heating device, solution tank, and recovery tank to remove grime deep within the carpet pile. Carpet cleaner combines cleansing solutions, forceful scrubbing brushes, and vacuum suction to eliminate dead skin cells, pollen, and food particles. Compared to traditional carpet cleansing, dry cleaning is more effective at preventing carpet degradation.
The global demand for carpets and rugs has increased steadily over the past few years, driven primarily by China's expanding demand. The rapid expansion of construction in residential and non-residential sectors and administrative structures in the Asia-Pacific region also drives the global carpet market. The global carpet market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 2% to 3% during the forecast period. Consequently, expanding the carpet and rug industry would boost demand for carpet cleaning equipment.
Home improvement is considered a significant spending sector among millennials, which can boost the carpet cleaners market. The market for carpets and carpet washers is bolstered by rapid urbanization, an aging population, and rising disposable incomes in developing nations, all of which support the home improvement sector. Other factors include renovation and remodeling trends resulting from product innovations in various categories, including kitchens, bathrooms, accessories, and interiors.
Modern trends indicate that millennials purchase new residences and undertake home improvement projects. This cohort is anticipated to seek out carpets after renovations to experience improved flooring, thereby driving carpet demand. This is expected to increase the demand for carpet cleaners. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, annual home improvement expenditures increased by more than 58%. In 2020, a whopping 52 percent of residences were extended. These factors are anticipated to increase carpet usage, creating market opportunities for carpet cleaners.
North America is the most significant global carpet cleaner market shareholder and is estimated to exhibit a CAGR of 5.08% during the forecast period. North America contributes a significant portion of the global market due to its extensive commercial and residential penetration and its consumers' high disposable income. In the first half of 2019, private office construction in the United States accounted for over USD 8 billion. By 2050, the total floor area of commercial buildings is anticipated to reach 126.1 billion square feet, a 39% increase from 2017. This, in turn, demonstrates the vast potential for carpet flooring demand to increase. In addition, North America is home to a mature retail sector that sees millions of customers daily. This necessitates resilient flooring that is stain-resistant and slip-resistant. This has increased the demand for carpet flooring in North America, propelling the market for carpet cleaners.
Europe is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.29% over the forecast period.

With the expansion of residential construction and the completion of housing construction projects, carpet demand in Europe is anticipated to increase. Carpets are a popular European flooring option for their aesthetic appeal and affordability.
In addition, the demand for carpets in non-residential or commercial sectors, such as aerospace and automotive, is expected to increase during the forecast period.
