The global mobile car wash service market size is expected to reach USD 12.96 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The primary growth drivers are the increasing trend of service personalizing and rising consumer spending on car care services. Moreover, with the rapid growth of urban areas, space constraints, and busy lifestyles, traditional car wash facilities may be less accessible or inconvenient for many people. Mobile car wash services bridge this gap by bringing car washing services directly to urban residents and office-goers, thereby driving the market demand. Moreover, these services often utilize water-efficient techniques and equipment, minimizing water usage compared to traditional car wash facilities.
This aligns with the growing emphasis on water conservation and environmentally friendly practices, likely favoring the growth of the market. Furthermore, waterless car washes are becoming increasingly popular in Australia, France, Spain, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, India, Romania, the U.S., and UAE. For instance, a Singapore-based car wash company, EWash, has washed 173,759 automobiles and saved 24,317,920 liters of water by 2020. In comparison to the average car wash service facility, which uses 140 liters of water to clean a car, EWash's waterless carwash procedure utilizes only one cup of water. A rise in the number of services catering to fleets, such as rental car companies, ride-sharing services, corporate fleets, and delivery services, is boosting the demand further.
An increase in the number of people traveling for business and leisure throughout the world is driving demand for automobile rental services, which, in turn, is driving interest in mobile car wash services. According to the 2021 U.S. Family Travel Survey, conducted by the Family Travel Association (FTA), 88% of families planned to travel in the year 2022. Owing to the growing consumer preference towards sustainability, major brands in the mobile car wash service industry are taking initiatives to fulfill the growing sustainability trend. For instance, in July 2022, Get Spiffy, Inc., an on-demand car wash company, announced a partnership with RTP start-up Green Places. Spiffy, through this initiative, added carbon neutrality to its sustainability initiative falling under Spiffy Green Umbrella.
The Asia Pacific region has witnessed a significant rise in vehicle ownership, driven by economic growth, rising disposable income levels, and improved living standards. With more people owning vehicles, the demand for car wash services has also increased. On-demand services cater to this growing market by providing convenient and hassle-free car washing options. Moreover, the region is home to a large and tech-savvy population, with high smartphone penetration and internet usage. This has facilitated the adoption of online platforms and mobile apps for various services, including car wash booking.
