๐ Car Wash & Detailing: 2025โs Hottest Industry Trends
The $37B car wash market is in high gear โ and hereโs whatโs making it shine in 2025:
๐งผ Mobile-First Dominance
People want services where they are. Mobile detailing is up 23% YoY โ and itโs just getting started. (LinkeWire, 2025)
๐ง Eco-Washing Goes Mainstream
With water use regulations tightening, detailers are pivoting to waterless, biodegradable solutions โ and customers are loving it. (ReliablePlus, 2025)
๐ฒ Automated Everything
From AI-based pricing to instant bookings and real-time GPS tracking โ automation is no longer optional, itโs the expectation. (DKD, 2025)
๐ Brick & Mortar Losing Ground
Traditional car wash locations are declining as on-demand services reshape customer expectations. Mobile services now account for 31% of urban market share.
๐งฝ Fun Fact: Car Wash Edition ๐
Did you knowโฆ?
๐ The average automated car wash uses 70% less water than washing your car at home with a hose! Thatโs not just cleaner โ itโs greener. ๐๐ง
๐ The busiest day for car washes? Saturday.
But thanks to on-demand services (like NovoWash ๐), you can skip the lines and get clean anytime.
๐งผ The first automated car wash opened in 1946 in Detroit โ where cars were born. It was called โAutomobile Laundry.โ
We like to think weโve come a long way since then. ๐
