http://www.psjanitorial.com/ | Take a look at some of the trends in the industry and how they will affect companies in 2016.

2. The cleaning industry is a broad collection of many
different companies and specialties, from commercial
janitorial services to housecleaning companies. In this
presentation, we’ll take a look at some of the
trends in the industry, and how they will affect
the types of companies mentioned above in 2016.

3. According to a study by
the investment bank
Scott-Macon, the cleaning
and janitorial industry is
expected to grow faster
between 2014 and 2020,
at 4.3%, than it did in
previous years (2.7%
growth per year between
2010 and 2013).
As a result, the market
sector is expected to be
worth nearly $60 billion
in 2016, and to surpass
that amount by 2017.

4. One of the reasons the cleaning services
industry can undergo such growth is because
of the low barrier of entry to start a successful
cleaning company. In fact, the 4 largest
companies in the industry account for
less than 10% of the available market,
with much of the rest taken up by smaller,
often independent companies.

5. Why does the cleaning
industry have such a low
barrier for entry? There are
several reasons, including:
• A low level of market share
concentration
• Relatively low capital
investment requirements
• Few training requirements
for employees
• High demand for cleaning
services in the commercial
sector and private homes

6. There are an estimated
829,522 cleaning and
janitorial services
companies currently
operating in the US.
Because of the broad
spectrum of services this
includes, many companies
specialize in one particular
element of professional
janitorial and cleaning work.

7. The cleaning industry can be broken down
into the following sectors:
• Standard commercial cleaning – 77.6%
• Residential cleaning – 7.0%
• Damage restoration (water damage
repair, mold removal, etc.) – 4.6%
• Other – 10.5%

8. The majority of cleaning
industry revenue is generated
from the commercial and retail
sectors (42.3% combined),
with educational and healthcare
facilities representing the fastest
growing sectors (31.7% and
4.7%, respectively).
Residences account
for 7.0% of revenue
for the industry.

9. All in all, the cleaning industry is
expected to have a good year in 2016.
Both commercial and residential business
is expected to increase, thanks to the
expected upswing in the economy and an
increase in disposable household income.
The number of cleaning companies is
expected to grow 1.7% per year.

companies.
