The market space for aircraft cleaning agents is vast and the future development prospects of the industry are promising.

​ ​ Aircraft cleaning agents, also known as aviation cleaning agents, refer to cleaning products that are used to clean the appearance of the aircraft or other exposed parts, parts, engines, and cabins. Aircraft cleaning agent has the advantages of good compatibility, good cleaning performance, environmental protection and non-toxicity, and small evaporation loss. It is a commonly used consumable for aircraft. According to different uses, aircraft cleaning agents can be divided into three categories: aircraft engine cleaning agents, aircraft cabin cleaning agents and aircraft surface cleaning agents.

There are a wide range of aircraft cleaning agents, including emulsified cleaning agents, solvent-based cleaning agents, pressure sprays, aerosols, alkaline water-based concentrated cleaning agents, environmentally friendly cleaning agents, etc. At present, solvent-based cleaning agents are the mainstream products in the aircraft cleaning agent market. They have the advantages of good compatibility and strong decontamination ability. However, in recent years, as the concept of green environmental protection continues to deepen, environmentally friendly cleaning agents have gradually replaced solvent-based cleaning agents and have been favored by many aircraft cleaning agent manufacturers.

Aircraft cleaning agents are usually composed of distilled water, non-ionic surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and other ingredients. Nonionic surfactants are the core raw materials of aircraft cleaning agents, accounting for nearly 70% of their production costs. Driven by market demand, my country’s production and sales of nonionic surfactants continue to grow. According to statistics from the China Laundry Association Table Committee, my country’s nonionic surfactant production in 2021 will be 2.028 million tons, and sales will be 1.977 million tons. Sufficient supply of raw materials lays the foundation for the development of the aircraft cleaning agent industry.

According to the “2023-2027 Aircraft Cleaning Agent Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, aviation Aircraft is the only application area of ​​aircraft cleaning agents. Benefiting from the rapid economic development and continuous innovation and breakthroughs in high and new technologies, the prosperity of my country’s civil aviation industry continues to increase. According to statistics from the National Civil Aviation Administration, the number of transport aircraft in my country’s civil aviation industry at the end of 2021 reached 4,054, a year-on-year increase of 3.9%. Driven by downstream demand, the aircraft cleaning agent market continues to expand. At present, the global aircraft cleaning agent consumption market is mainly concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 41.2%.

The main manufacturers of aircraft cleaning agents in my country include Shanghai Chemetall Chemicals Co., Ltd., Dongguan Xindafa Coatings Co., Ltd., Changsha Aisen Equipment Maintenance Technology Co., Ltd., China Aviation Materials Aviation New Materials Co., Ltd., and Xi’an Hangxing Haituo Electronic Technology Ltd. etc. In recent years, driven by the technological innovation of local companies, the concentration of my country’s aircraft cleaning agent industry has continued to increase.

Industry analysts said that aircraft cleaning agents are widely used in the field of aviation and aircraft, and as aircraft cleaning supplies, their market demand is increasingly strong. Benefiting from the sufficient supply of raw materials and the continuous improvement of production technology, the production and quality of aircraft cleaning agents in my country have continued to improve. It is expected that in the future, as the number of aircraft continues to grow, the prosperity of my country’s aircraft cleaning agent industry will further improve.
