Clean India Journal spoke to exhibitors to capture the proceedings of the Show, impact on the business, demand of products and the kind of visitors that sourced cleaning products. While the Show has been a great success for exhibitors, the venue and place too worked in conducive of the exhibitors. Maximum exhibitors confirmed that there were very good representations from almost all major segments at the show.
One of the common trends that is experienced with all the Clean India shows is the expansion of cleaning business. Most of the exhibitors following the shows, especially in tier-II cities have successfully set up distributor network or opened regional offices to meet the local demand.
In terms of products itself, customers demand for low priced products with a longer warranty period. Quality and cost are the two market drivers even today. Clean India will be putting in efforts to bring in a section of spare parts at the next show.
While most of them in the cleaning industry address the Clean India shows being organized in tier-II cities as regional shows, the Hyderabad show has negated this view once again. Exhibitors were once again surprised to meet with industrial visitors and distributors from North India also. The potential of the cleaning market is big and Clean India Show creates the awareness drawing visitors to the show.
The presence of facility management companies, the main buyers of cleaning products, was much more pronounced at Hyderabad. Some of the big players present at the show were JLL, Knight Frank, CBRE, ISS, A2Z, G4S, OCS, Sodexo, Updater today. Clean India will be putting in efforts to bring in a section of spare parts at the next show.

‘Clean India Show at Hyderabad was a vehicle to enter the South Indian market. Cleaning is a growing industry and customers need to be groomed slowly to the available technologies and growth in the market. The propagation happens only through Clean India shows. This show is the right platform to differentiate product variety that is reciprocal of market demands.’
Highlights of the products on display
Cleaning machines with switching facilities: A single washroom may require a minimum of two to three machines for cleaning and a single room with both hard surface and carpeted area may require two different machines to clean the floor. Machines have evolved to include switch options to do the work of two or three machines in one. (carpet and hard floor scrubber dryer and foaming+high pressure+vacuuming)
Efficient Batteries: The average time for batteries earlier used to be eight hours for two to three hours of machine running time. However, over the years it has been improvised enabling more run time. New machines on display have quick battery charging facility of two to three hours and a higher run time.
Light Weight: Cleaning machines especially scrubber dryers, vacuums and other floor cleaning machines and also backpack machines are heavy. Light weight versions are being introduced at the show.
Use of Ozone Technology: Water by itself turns into a cleaning agent in the case of ozone technology. Hence reducing the use of chemical agents.
