Germany is the most valuable car wash market in Europe, at €1.8bn in 2014 due to a combination of a high car parc and car wash legislation. German law prevents motorists from washing their vehicles at home, which greatly pushes up the value of the market compared to other European countries.

Rollover and jet washes recorded the highest number of wash occasions between 2012 and 2014, as they were the most popular wash installations across Europe.
