According to Sinochem New Network, at the third session’s second meeting of the board of directors (expanded version) of the China Industrial Cleaning Association, the association released the \"Research Report on China’s Industrial Cleaning Industry\" (hereinafter referred to as the \"Report\"). The Report states that the level of industrial cleaning technology and the quality of its development have a profound impact on the product quality and production efficiency of strategic emerging industries such as petrochemicals, integrated circuits, biomedicine, and new energy materials. At present, China’s industrial cleaning industry is in a critical stage of transition from scale expansion to quality improvement. The Report shows that, on the one hand, the industry has made significant progress in terms of market breadth and technology adoption; its service scope continues to expand, basic cleaning technologies are now well-established, and the industry’s scale is growing steadily, thereby laying a market foundation for high-quality development ； On the other hand, the intrinsic quality of industry growth is under scrutiny; although most companies see continuous increases in their revenue, they are generally plagued by homogeneous competition and lengthy accounts receivable collection cycles. Data shows that over 70% of companies have a payment collection cycle of more than 6 months, resulting in significant pressure on working capital and severely affecting their profit margins and financial health. Specifically, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the industry made significant progress in the four core areas of cleaning technology, methods, equipment, and chemicals. The industrialization of green technologies such as laser cleaning and dry ice cleaning is accelerating, while the adoption of enzyme-based cleaning techniques is increasing in the food and medical industries ； The standardization of cleaning processes is increasing, with more use of online monitoring and closed-loop control systems ； Automated and semi-automated equipment has become the norm, while large-scale and integrated equipment is widely used ； The adoption of environmentally friendly water-based cleaning agents and low-VOC solvents is accelerating, with specialized chemicals developing rapidly. However, the industry also faces severe challenges in areas such as high-end technological innovation, optimization of industrial structures, green and low-carbon transformation, support through standardization and talent systems, and intense price-based competition. From the perspective of the market structure in industrial cleaning, cleaning services account for the largest share, at around 50%-55% ； Cleaning equipment comes in second, accounting for about 30%-35%, including high-pressure water jet equipment, mechanical cleaning equipment for tanks, chemical cleaning systems, ultrasonic cleaning lines, and dry ice cleaning machines ； Cleaning agents account for about 15%-20%; as consumable materials, their market size is relatively small, but the technical barriers involved are usually high. The three exhibit a relatively stable distribution pattern.
