Rising concerns over health and hygiene for employees and an increasing number of airborne diseases are driving the demand for cleaning services in the market.
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.

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.
