The commercial spaces are divided into 6 major categories- Corporate Offices/Business Parks, Lodging, Food Service Outlets, Health care, Industrial Sector, and others (includes public gathering places, transportation hubs). Among these, the corporate offices and retail malls, along with educational institutes hold the highest market share, of more than 25%, by the end of the forecasted period. With offices, malls, and other commercial establishments preferring to outsource cleaning jobs, the cleaning sector is going through a growth trajectory.

With the surge in awareness about the hygienic outing, the market share of the food service outlets is to increase. Setting up new healthcare setups, rising awareness about hygiene needs, and the launch of new and innovative cleaning chemicals are propelling the market for cleaning chemicals in India. This is likely to allow kitchen care and personal care chemicals to grow. Post the Covid outbreak, the market is to welcome a newer segment of disinfectants, which is expected to cover a share of merely 2% by the end of the forecasted period.

Highly dominated by the unorganized market, the floor-cleaning chemical holds the highest share mainly due to the area covered. With the increasing adaption of specialized cleaning chemicals, the use of multipurpose cleaning chemicals has been narrowed down.

The major challenge in the industry is the unavailability of skilled janitors, who know the proper usage propositions and techniques, which is also directly linked with the lack of awareness among the facility service management providers. Ultimately, if commercial and industrial cleaning businesses want to remain competitive in the busy modern marketplace, they need to stay up-to-date with industry trends.
