Green cleaning products and services
The rising awareness of the benefits of “green” and eco-friendly products among commercial and industrial users have increased the use of green and sustainable cleaning practices. Technavio defines green cleaning as an eco-friendly way of cleaning without the use of harmful chemicals that can have adverse impacts on both human health and the environment. Along with products and processes that protect the environment, it also involves promoting sustainability.
Unlike traditional cleaning methods, green products also refer to chemicals and methods that do not release harmful aerosols or wastes that accumulate in the water. At present, several players are using green products and methods for contract cleaning services. In terms of operational and financial efficiency, the increasing adoption of green and sustainable cleaning methodologies will have a positive impact on the contract cleaning services market.
Increase in use of automated cleaning devices
In this report, Technavio analysts also highlight an increase in the use of automated cleaning devices as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global contract cleaning services market.
From using basic cleaning tools to sophisticated tools and technologies, the contract cleaning services market has evolved with technology. This has augmented market growth and is characterized by significant improvement in efficiency of cleaning and sanitation. The implementation of power tools such as low-noise vacuum cleaners, floor cleaners, steam cleaners, and high-quality cleaning agents and supplies have resulted in efficient and high-quality services, notes the report.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for consumer services and personal care:
Traditional methods were used earlier in industrial cleaning processes. However, advances in technology have helped incorporate technology into these processes to advance and standardize the industry. The adoption of technology in cleaning practices will further prove more effective by eliminating the use of harmful chemicals. One of the types of innovations available in the market is the disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide with shorter contact times.
