According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Car Detailing Service Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The global car detailing services market has shown an impressive growth attributed to factors such as a higher number of vehicles being sold year by year, as well as the rising demand for pre-owned vehicles among budget-conscious buyers. With the increasing vehicle ownership, customers are more inclined towards detailing and cleaning services for the vehicle’s exterior and interior parts. With the long-term usage, especially in the hot and humid regions, the car detailing requirement becomes more prevalent among buyers. Additionally, growing awareness of vehicle maintenance among car owners, as well as the service providers using new-age technologies and equipment for vehicle cleaning and improving customer satisfaction, are some other prominent reasons that have led to the promulgation in the market growth of car detailing services across the globe.

Considering the growing demand for automotives as well as a high number of car detailing providers getting established, the following are some of the recent updates:

• According to OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), the total sales of passenger cars across the globe have risen from 47.91 million to 56.88 million from 2021 to 2024. Among these, Asia-Pacific and Europe were the leading regions with most of the sales.

• In 2024, car detailing company Turtle Wax announced to enter into the Indian market for the restoration and beautification among old car owners/buyers. According to the company, apart from new cars, old car restoration and beautification is another rising category in India, which could help the company to expand its presence.

Segments that transform the industry

• Based on Type, the global car detailing services market is bifurcated into interior and exterior. Of these exterior segment has held the major market share. Some of the factors attributed to the high market share of the segment are high demand for external car cleaning, wax, etc. As the environment, temperature, rain, etc., inflict significant damage to the outer body paint and other components, the exterior parts require frequent cleaning and waxing to protect them. On the other hand, the interior cleaning has a lesser frequency as opposed to its counterpart due to being protected from the outer environment. The interior parts require cleaning for seats, dashboard, AC vent cleaning, and floor cleaning, which have to be done over a longer duration. Additionally, as it is a time-consuming process, many of the customers often choose to avail interior cleaning once it is necessary.

According to the report, Rising Car Ownership and Disposable Income have been identified as key drivers for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

With the steady rise in the number of vehicles being registered and families in developing nations recording increased disposable incomes, car ownership has become an added factor behind the growth of the global car detailing services market. As incomes rise, buyers find themselves not only buying vehicles but also investing more in maintaining them and enhancing their aesthetic appeal. There is a stark difference in this behavior within emerging markets of the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, and some parts of the Middle East and Africa, where automobile sales thrive alongside expeditious urbanization and swelling middle-class population.

As car ownership increases, value-added services such as car detailing continue to grow in demand. Many consumers now understand that a good detailing preserves the condition of vehicles, adds to resale value, and gives a sense of pride to the owners. With the increase in disposable income, customers allow themselves to spend on more advanced detailing packages like ceramic coating, paint protection film, and interior sanitization. Also seen in many markets is a rise in the number of providers of special detailing for luxury and performance vehicles, which owners indeed desire to keep showroom quality. This is a strong inducer of the industry's continuing growth worldwide.
