Touchless Car Washer
Industry Growth
The car wash industry has gone through a massive period of growth, driven largely by the popularity of unlimited wash plans and the rise of the express exterior tunnel business model. From 2013 to 2018, the industry achieved a 3.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue, according to an industry report by Grand View Research. The industry’s growth is expected to continue, with a predicted CAGR of 3.2% through 2025.
Consumer Trends
According to the International Carwash Association, the number of drivers who wash their cars at home has dropped significantly over the past decade. In 2019, 77% of drivers reported that they frequently washed their vehicle at a professional car wash up from 48% in 1994. It is estimated that the total annual car wash sales revenue exceeds $24 billion.
The ridesharing (Uber, Lyft, etc.) trend has also created a whole new customer base for car washes. These drivers wash their cars multiple times a week to maintain customer satisfaction. They can be some of your best customers and brand advocates.
