Sponge And Scouring Pads Market Growth & Trends:
The global sponge and scouring pads market size is expected to reach USD 6.55 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 2.8% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing number of restaurants, cafe, and diners across the world is expected to drive the demand for scouring pads. The above-mentioned eateries serve a large number of consumers every day, thereby leading to a giant heap of cookware, plates, and cutleries to be washed.
Shifting focus towards reducing plastic consumption is promoting the use of steel, bone china, glass, and wooden utensils. Each of the aforementioned containers require specialized cleaning pad in order to maintain surface cleanliness and hygiene. As a result, scouring pads are expected to be one of the cleaning mediums over the next few years.
The current generation has been rapidly adopting non-stick cookware, which are very sensitive to abrasive cleaning tools. Washing them with conventional scouring pads can hamper the teflon coating on these. Thus, light duty to medium duty products are necessarily required, which can clean properly without hampering the coating. Most manufacturers have been creating non-stick friendly scouring pads, which includes Bon Ami and Scrunge, in order to meet the increasing demand.
Growth of the baking industry is another factor driving the market. Over the last couple of years, baking has found place in all cuisines across the world. Ability to cook food in little to no oil has made it extremely popular among the health conscious millennials. But cleaning these oven friendly cookware can require a lot of elbow grease. For such purpose, heavy duty scouring pads have been gaining popularity among the consumers to clean baked cookware.
Some of the key players operating in the global market are Unilever; Scrub-It; The Crown Choice; 3M; O-Cedar; Weiman Products, LLC; Amway; Sun 'n' Shine Industries; Bio90 Manufacturing Canada Inc.; Kiwi-Scourers; and H. M. INDUSTRIES. Product innovation is expected to remain a key market trend in the industry.
