Grout is the filling used between two flooring pieces to enhance the aesthetics and prevent the accumulation of dirt between the two flooring pieces. However, due to continuous movement on the flooring, dirt will always accumulate on the grout. As time passes, it can become evident and spoil the floor's aesthetics. It can cause health hazards, such as germs, grease, microbes, bacteria, and dust. These sticky microbes, fungal organisms, and other organic particles can be easily picked up from the ground by anyone moving on them, which can further be transmitted from one person to another, which can be hazardous in cases of deadly microbes. Many facilities are used by several people daily, such as public transportation facilities, hotels, entertainment, and leisure facilities. It becomes mandatory in such places to properly maintain hygiene and cleanliness. Hence, such factors drive the growth of the grout cleaning equipment market during the forecast period.

An electric pallet jack, also called an electric pallet truck, is material handling equipment used to move pallets within warehouses, distribution centers, logistics & other storage facilities.
