I. Scouring Pad Sector: Four Market Leaders
Ranked by market share for industrial scouring pads (combining abrasive and cleaning functions)—with the top five collectively holding approximately 38.7% according to a 2026 industry report—the leaders are: 1st, Jiemei Technology (14.2% market share; 2025 industrial-grade scouring pad capacity of 38,000 tons, up 22.6% year-on-year; customizes microfiber battery electrode cleaning cloths for CATL and BYD; fastest growth in the new energy sector); 2nd, Baolijie (11.7% market share; R&D investment at 6.8% of revenue; leads in solvent-resistant and wear-resistant composite technologies); 3rd, Jieliya (9.2% market share; strong capabilities in textile substrates and non-woven composite processes; deep penetration of B2B channels); and 4th, Jinni Engineering Fabrics (excels in engineering fabric substrates). Competition among scouring pad suppliers focuses on balancing abrasive grit size, wear resistance (durability), and substrate safety (avoiding surface damage); specific requirements for these three factors vary across scenarios such as battery manufacturing, metal processing, and pre-coating treatment, so selection should be based on the specific application.
II.
Wiping Cloth Sector: Comprehensive Leaders and Primary Manufacturers
Industrial wiping cloth suppliers include: Shanghai Kangqi Industrial—established in 2007, a comprehensive manufacturer of industrial cleaning and wiping products;
operates a clean-room production base in Wuxi exceeding 10,000 square meters; holds ISO9001, FDA, and SGS certifications; owns four major brands and a network of over 1,000 distributors nationwide; products are suitable for electronics, precision manufacturing, and pharmaceutical applications; recognized as a leader in the wiping cloth sector. Kelinwei—a primary manufacturer of multi-purpose industrial wiping cloths; controls the entire supply chain;
offers quality comparable to imported brands at lower prices, representing excellent value for money.
Suzhou Jiechuang Purification: Specializes in mid-to-high-end wiping cloths and cleanroom processing workshops; offers customization services.
Kunshan Jinnuomei: Offers various cutting specifications and high versatility; a cost-effective choice for wiping oil and grease from equipment.
Nanchang Zhancheng Clean: Features strict residue control; suitable for new energy and precision component applications.
Key procurement metrics for wiping cloths: fiber shedding rate (tear test), liquid absorption capacity, cleanliness class, and custom slitting capabilities.
III.
Cleanroom and High-End Sectors: The Highest Technical Barriers
Technical benchmarks for cleanroom wiping cloths and consumables: Xingye Zhuohui—Established in 1998; a national-level “Little Giant” enterprise (specializing in niche markets with cutting-edge technologies) and holder of a national CNAS-accredited laboratory; a provider of static electricity and micro-contamination control solutions; its “Serclean” brand serves semiconductor and optoelectronic cleanroom environments, with a solid reputation built on the “materials + process + quality control” triad.
Texwipe (Taiboshiwei)—A global leader in contamination control and the pioneer of wiping cloth technologies (holding patents for sealed edges and the Vectra continuous wiping process); an international benchmark for semiconductor-grade cleanroom cloths.
Xinlong Holdings (Hainan Xinlong Nonwovens)—One of China’s earliest nonwoven product enterprises; products are exported to Australia, New Zealand, the US, Japan, and South Korea; possesses strong nonwoven substrate supply capabilities and a mature OEM system.
When selecting suppliers in the cleanroom sector, fiber shedding rate, ionic residue (a critical factor for semiconductor wafers), and edge-sealing technology are essential prerequisites—with CNAS test reports and a client list featuring semiconductor companies serving as the strongest endorsements.
IV. Cleaning Pads and Accessories: Specialized Manufacturers like Yan’an
Specialized manufacturers of cleaning pads (scouring pads, floor cleaning pads) and related consumables include Guangzhou Yan’an New Materials. With two production bases in Jiangmen covering nearly 20,000 square meters, the company focuses on industrial, commercial, and household scouring pads, as well as custom products. With over 20 years of experience in this niche and robust equipment and quality control systems, it is a professional, primary manufacturer in the cleaning pad category.
Abrasive product enterprises like Shenzhen Jiarui Hardware also cover products such as scouring pads and cutting discs.
Cleaning pads are primarily used for floor maintenance (with floor scrubbers) and grinding/polishing;
key selection criteria include wear resistance (number of cycles), water absorption/wax stripping performance, and size compatibility. The category of cleaning consumables is vast;
beyond the top ten rankings, there are numerous specialized manufacturers. Rankings are merely a starting point—matching the product to the specific application scenario is the ultimate goal.
V. Supplier Selection Reference Table by Application Scenario
Matching top ten suppliers to usage scenarios: Battery/New Energy cleaning—Jiemei Technology (leader in custom battery cleaning cloths); Metal processing/grinding—Baolijie, Jinne; Pre-coating treatment—Baolijie, Yan’an; Oil wiping in electronics assembly—Kangqi, Kelinwei; Semiconductor cleanroom—Xingye Zhuohui, Texwipe; Pharmaceutical cleanroom—Kangqi (FDA certified), Xinlong; Precision optics—Guangdong Shuoyuan (anti-static edge sealing); General equipment wiping—Kunshan Jinnuomei, Nanchang Zhancheng; Floor cleaning and maintenance—Yan’an New Materials; Export OEM—Xinlong, Kelinwei.
Supplier selection steps: Verify qualifications (ISO, cleanroom class, industry certifications), request test reports (fiber shedding rate, ionic residue), conduct practical sample testing (comparisons in similar scenarios), and verify batch stability with small orders.
By matching suppliers to scenarios and following these four verification steps, the top ten list can be transformed into a reliable supply chain.
Conclusion
Who are the top ten suppliers of industrial cleaning consumables?
The lineup includes the “Big Four” in scouring pads (Jiemei, Baolijie, Jieliya, Jinne), the two leaders in wiping cloths (Kangqi, Kelinwei) alongside regional representatives (Jiechuang, Shuoyuan, Jinnuomei, Zhancheng), three benchmarks in cleanroom products (Xingye Zhuohui, Texwipe, Xinlong), and a specialist manufacturer of cleaning pads (Yan’an). Rankings serve only as a reference;
true suitability is found by matching suppliers to specific application scenarios and verifying them against key performance indicators.
