In Nigeria and all over the world, the car wash industry is regarded as one of the industries that accommodate more of unskilled workers than skilled workers. Simply put, some of the basic services offered by car wash companies revolve around cleaning, washing, and waxing services for automobiles (cars, trucks, vans, and trailers). In the car wash industry, you will also find customized services such as full- and self-service car wash services, as well as truck and bus washes and vehicle detailing services. The industry is open to both small entrepreneurs (neighborhood car wash) and big time investors (Mr. Clean Car Wash owned by Procter & Gamble)
In Nigeria, the car wash industry is indeed a big industry, and this is due to the large number of vehicles on the Nigerian roads and also poor infrastructure which will lead to many car owners needing a car wash service regularly.
The market for car wash is driven by the purchase of cars and the increase in consumers’ spending – in essence, as the general economy and population of a country grows, more people will buy cars and more people will patronize the services of car wash on a regular basis especially if their driving habits encourages them to do so.
The trend in the car wash industry is that most car wash companies in the bid to survive the recent global economic meltdown, have included additional services to their core service offerings. Some car wash companies include washing of rugs, selling of car accessories, running a bar, barbing saloon and even restaurant within the same premises if they have enough space. It is much easier for car wash companies to increase their revenues by diversifying as against increasing the scope of their market.
Over and above, car wash businesses all over the world are still enjoying good patronage particularly if they are well positioned and if they know how to reach out to their target market (business, government and household).
