July 21, 2025

The global janitorial services market showcased growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.27% from 2021 to 2024, according to a new report from ResearchAndMarkets.com. The market was valued at US$298.83 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach $420.12 billion in 2031.

One of the most significant drivers of the janitorial services market is the heightened awareness of health and hygiene, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, the report found. The pandemic shifted the way businesses, institutions, and even households perceive cleanliness. As organizations adopt stricter cleaning protocols to mitigate the spread of infections, the demand for professional janitorial services has surged. Regular deep cleaning, sanitation, and disinfection have become standard practices in many industries, particularly healthcare, hospitality, and retail.

Moreover, the expansion of commercial spaces such as offices, malls, and entertainment centers has also contributed to the growth of the janitorial services market. As new buildings and facilities are being constructed, a corresponding demand has developed for ongoing cleaning and maintenance services. This demand is particularly prominent in rapidly urbanizing regions, where commercial real estate and industrial activities are increasing. In developing economies, urbanization and industrialization have led to the rise of new buildings, fueling the need for more comprehensive cleaning services.

Another factor driving the janitorial market is the growing preference for eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning solutions. As environmental concerns become more prevalent, companies are increasingly opting for green cleaning practices that minimize the use of harmful chemicals and reduce environmental impact. Janitorial service providers that offer green cleaning options are seeing greater demand, especially from environmentally conscious organizations and sectors like education and healthcare.

Moreover, innovations in cleaning technologies are also playing a significant role in the expansion of the janitorial services market. The adoption of advanced cleaning equipment, such as automated floor scrubbers, high-efficiency vacuums, and even robotic cleaners, has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of janitorial services, the report said. These technological tools enable faster and more thorough cleaning, which is particularly important for large-scale facilities such as airports, shopping centers, and hospitals.

The janitorial services market in North America is mature, with steady demand driven by the healthcare, corporate, and retail sectors. The U.S. is the largest contributor to the region’s market, where businesses continue to outsource cleaning services to improve efficiency. Additionally, the growing adoption of green cleaning solutions and the demand for specialized cleaning services in healthcare facilities are contributing to the market’s growth.
