Cleaning has been at the forefront of the pandemic, with the cleaning industry being widely acknowledged in the role companies have played in containing the outbreak through cleaning homes, workplaces and public spaces.
The response from the pandemic has created a shift for many in their cleaning routines. Infact, a Mintel, 2019 report found that 50% of adults have increased their use of household cleaning products in the week of April 9-16th 2020 alone.
The market has seen such a surge in demand, that the global cleaning services market is forecasted to reach $88.9 billion by the year 2025, Beroe Inc claims. This figure is substantial in comparison to that of 2019, where the market size stood at $60.25 billion.
DataIntelo published a market research study on the industrial cleaning services market, consisting of a detailed market analysis, including the impact which COVID has had on the industry. The study also details a comprehensive competitor analysis of the leading parties within the industry, listing Jani-King amongst the major players.
