Janitorial Service Market size, by application

Cleaning has always been a labor-intensive task, and hence people prefer to get it done through an experienced service provider, thereby driving the demand for janitorial services in both the residential and commercial sectors. As per the CBRE MarketFlash report, the vacancy rate in the U.S. in quarter 1 of 2018 was 13% and in 2020, it was 12.3%, resulting in a decline in the vacancy rate. Moreover, the vacancy rate in quarter 1 of 2010 was over 17%. This aforementioned factor is acting as a major driver for the rise in demand for janitorial services.

In Japan, the prime Grade A office market in Tokyo was highly active in 2018 owing to increasing demand from corporates on expectations for the country’s monetary policy to remain accommodative following the upcoming election. The proportion of high tech companies in the overall Grade A office space had increased from 4% in 2013 to 16% in 2018. In order to maintain the office premises and speed up the process, demand for janitorial services is increasing.

Consumers in the market prefer to outsource or hire companies offering services owing to the cost-effectiveness and ease of management. The growing need for maintaining cleaner and greener office spaces is estimated to drive the demand over the forecast period. Green cleaning is a growing trend in the market.

Growing awareness among consumers regarding hygiene and workplace wellness is acting as a major driver for the market. According to the ‘Cleaning Costs and Frequencies Report’ published by Contracting Profits, Facility Cleaning Decisions, and BSCAI, 65% of multi-tenant offices, 80% of K-12 schools, 85% of colleges/universities, and 90% of hospitals all have floors mopped daily or multiple times a day. This results in high demand for janitorial services.

The market is highly fragmented and the presence of regional players is acting as a major challenge for the market. As per the Small Business Development Centers Network, the U.S. janitorial services and carpet cleaning industry consists of about 58,000 janitorial establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies).

Janitorial Service Market Trends

Increasing awareness and the necessity of having a cleaner environment are driving the growth of the market. The growing concerns of ill-health due to unsanitary surroundings encouraging the need for a hygienic and sanitary workplace, a clean & healthy environment, and disinfected surroundings are the factors increasing the demand for janitor services in the commercial as well as residential sectors.

The professional services offered by the companies facilitate thorough cleaning of the workplace, bathrooms, restrooms, and other areas providing a clean and comfortable atmosphere to the clients. Furthermore, complying with the industry standards for cleanliness many industries such as corporate offices, schools, day-care, and other institutional facilities are hiring external services to clean & proper maintenance of their facility which has surged the acceptance of janitorial services in turn boosting the market growth.

However, the lack of direct control of the services is hampering the adoption of the market. These services are provided by external firms, there is no direct control of the client over the services or the employees. This increases lines of communication which thereby creates a communication gap between the client and the service providers.

Moreover, the results achieved from janitorial services tend to be better than those obtained by in-house staff owing to their expertise in cleaning methods and products. They are trained for other services such as routine maintenance of equipment, floors, and other fixtures which tend to be cost-effective services. This provides lucrative opportunities for market growth.
