US demand to grow 2.2% annually through 2019

US demand for janitorial equipment and supplies is forecast to grow 2.2 percent per year through 2019 to $7.1 billion, continuing the recovery that began in the latter part of the 2009-2014 period. Significant pent-up demand in automated floor cleaning equipment will fortify advances. After initially falling in 2008 and 2009, sales of most types of automated floor cleaning equipment remained below pre-recession highs as of 2014, but will again approach or exceed those levels by 2019.

Gains will be spurred by accelerating economic growth, which will increase foot traffic and a need for additional cleaning in buildings, as well as factors such as a rising number of business establishments and gains in nonresidential floor space that boost the potential market for janitorial products. Increased demand for nonessential cleaning activity and related products will also promote advances. Heightened interest in sustainable cleaning practices will buoy demand for higher value products that decrease or eliminate water or chemical consumption. Sales will be further fueled by growing interest in replacing older, noisy equipment with quieter, more discreet products appropriate for noise-sensitive environments. In addition, concerns about the risk of cross-contamination and employee injury will drive sales of products with advanced features and improved ergonomic design. More rapid gains will be restrained by market maturity in manual cleaning products and bags and containers, as well as by competition from lower-cost imports.

Automated floor cleaning equipment to grow fastest

Through 2019, automated floor cleaning equipment is forecast to post the fastest and largest gains as it continues to recover from an extended downtown. Sales of specialty items and those that are used on hard surface floors will particularly benefit as janitorial budgets expand. Most other types of janitorial equipment and supplies are lower-cost and sometimes disposable items that saw recoveries earlier in the 2009-2014 period so gains going forward will not be as fast as for automated floor cleaning equipment.

Institutional & office buildings to lead gains by market

Among markets, institutional and office buildings will record the fastest gains through 2019. The institutional market will be driven by above average growth in floor space and in the number of healthcare and related establishments. The elevated sanitary standards and concern about disease prevention in these establishments will further support demand for higher-value products. The office building market will primarily be fortified by ongoing changes in cleanliness standards, trends toward daytime cleaning, and rebounding demand for automated floor cleaners.

Contract cleaner demand to outpace in-house market

As businesses continue to rebound from the 2007-2009 recession, they will increasingly turn to contract cleaners in an effort to reduce overhead costs associated with building maintenance. In fact, growth in contract cleaner demand for janitorial equipment and supplies will slightly edge demand gains for in-house staff in all market categories through 2019. Nevertheless, in-house demand will remain the larger of the two markets in every segment except residential and office, reflecting differences in the degree to which cleaning is considered a core aspect of the operations of a facility.

Additional Information

This study analyzes the US market for janitorial equipment and supplies, which is defined as all non chemical commercial- and institutional-grade products used in the cleaning of buildings (including floors and windows), dwellings, and transportation equipment. Products include:


  • manual cleaning products (e.g., brooms, brushes, cleaning cloths, dusters, mops, scrubbing pads, sponges, squeegees, wipes)

  • automated floor cleaning equipment (e.g., floor machines, vacuum cleaners)
    bags and containers (e.g., metal and plastic pails, other bags, plastic refuse bags and liners, trash containers, and waste bins)

  • various miscellaneous products (e.g., janitorial carts, power cleaning equipment, separately-sold handles, sprayers)


Excluded from the scope of the study are all chemical cleaning products, including compounds and solutions, as well as the household-grade equivalents of cleaning supplies. However, household-grade vacuums purchased and used in the commercial environment are included in the study.

Historical data (2004, 2009, and 2014) and forecasts for the years 2019 and 2024 are provided in current dollars for janitorial equipment and supplies demand, shipments, imports, and exports overall, as well as for major product types, markets, and purchasers. The term “demand” -- used interchangeably with “market,” “revenues,” “sales,” and “consumption” -- is defined as all shipments from US plants, plus imports, minus exports and stock increases.
