Outlook for I&I Cleaning Product Demand thumbnail

Outlook for I&I Cleaning Product Demand in a Post-Pandemic World

Demand for I&I cleaning products inevitably surged with the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to our research, the frequency of sanitizing and disinfecting surfaces in 2022 reached 63% due to increased health concerns of facility managers.

At a special workshop presented by HCPA and ISSA Interclean, Laura Mahecha, Director of our I&I Cleaning sector, discussed the future demand for I&I cleaning products in a post-pandemic world. Some of the points she touched upon are:

  • Cleaning and disinfection habits that are likely to stay
  • Transformational trends that are helping shape away-from-home cleaning in the near future
  • Growing role of sustainability in the industry
  • End users’ views and perceptions of green cleaning products
  • The challenges of inflation, staff shortages, and the need to clean frequently

Five Industrial & Institutional Cleaning Trends That Will Define 2023

As we flip the calendar to 2023, the professional cleaning industry is facing an uncertain outlook due to a challenging economic landscape. In this highlights report, Kline is sharing insights and predictions about the years ahead. Download your copy to find out which trends are likely to shape the industry going forward: 

1. Inflation Changing I&I Users’ Buying Habits 

End users are paying more for the same volume of cleaning chemicals than they were only one or two years ago.  

2. Labor-Saving Products and Tools Rising in Popularity 

In our recent survey, 57% agree that it is more difficult now to attract and retain employees than it was before the pandemic.   

3. Facilities Turning Toward Automated Solutions to Improve Cleaning Efficiency 

Internet of Things (IoT) is being used to monitor chemical and water usage in dispensers, observe the health of crucial machines such as laundry or warewash machines, or check when it is time to refill paper/soap dispensers in the washroom.  

4. Green Cleaning Remaining Front and Center in the Professional Segment 

End users are interested in using more concentrated formulas, products with fewer perfumes and dyes, and those that come in recycled content packaging or use less plastic in their packaging.  

5. Changes in Flooring Shifting Demand for Cleaning Products 

Our survey with more than 1,000 end users found that 24% of these intend to make changes over the next three years.  

Kline is uniquely positioned to deliver forward-looking, data-driven insights and strategies in the industrial and institutional cleaning industry.

I&I Cleaning Wipes: Key Trends, Changes, and Opportunities

This highlights report summarizes several of the key developments that are expected to continue powering up the market, including:

  • Enhanced cleaning and disinfection will remain key focus areas, with over 56% of the end users noting an increased frequency of cleaning as the new standard of cleanliness. Demand for cleaning wipes is expected to continue being strong through 2026, as they are an easy tool that cleaning professionals and building occupants will use regularly to maintain clean and safe environments.
  • Sustainable wipes will garner further interest, with 14% of the end users saying that they have switched from chemical-based wipes to more environment-friendly/green/plant-based products since the pandemic began. Moreover, increased demand for plant-based or botanical active ingredients, such as citric acid, lavender, and thymol, will also appeal to end users looking to use more natural, less harsh chemical-based products in their cleaning procedures.
  • Online purchasing will continue to accelerate as over 50% of end users state that they now buy online from their med/surg, jan/san, and foodservice distributors, office supply stores, direct from wipes manufacturers, company-owned distribution arms, and group purchasing organizations. While visits from sales reps are still important periodically, particularly for non-routine purchases, every purchase channel is now notably an “online” retailer selling cleaning supplies and wipes. This is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.
