What is the Total Market in the US for Pressure Washer Sales?

Pressure washer sales in the US have dramatically increased in the last five years, but not all of those sales goes to US Based manufacturing companies. Today, most of the components come from overseas, even if they are US brands and the rest are Chinese Brands that make up the bulk of the market, along with Karcher, a German company that still maintains a chunk of the over-all market.

So you ask; What is the total market in the US for Pressure Washer Sales? My guess is 456,000,000 per year when thinking of sales by folks such as Home Depot, Lowes, etc. plus: Hydrotech, Hotsy/Landa/Shark, Karcher. But I must say I am a little sketchy on the Chinese Imports that sell for 5.00 and under.

My guess is 8500 Wal-Marts selling one a day each at an average price of .00 is 5 million? And if that is over exaggerated, I figure that it includes, Sears/Kmart, Target, so, lets go with a final answer of:

456,000,000

+245,500,000

---------------------

=700,500,000

(700 million) approximately.

Now for the Qualifiers:

This figure does not include Municipal Hydro-rodders, power jetting, industrial sandblasters using water, over 10K PSI systems or Manufacturing cutting units, truck wash equipment or carwash components. That was fun to think about, and sizing up markets is always an interesting thought process, still in studying this figure, I do not think it is a Billion Dollar Industry quite yet. Additionally, I would say that with better PR the pressure washing companies could out sell their best years, since pressure washers use a lot less water in times of drought.
