Industrial Cleaning Market Trends in Italy: A Focus on Sustainability and Technological Advancements
In recent years, Italy has seen a vibrant expansion in its industrial cleaning market. Growth has been influenced by an increased demand for specialized cleaning services across various sectors, including manufacturing and healthcare industries. The market is characterized by a heightened sense of competition due to the challenge of differentiating cleaning services. Nonetheless, the national market has registered notable growth, with a 15% increase in turnover and a 29% rise in the number of companies operating in the sector during the same period. The Italian cleaning and disinfestation sector, within which industrial cleaning is a subsegment, was valued at almost EUR 7.2 billion in 2020, illustrating its substantial stability in market value. Industrial cleaning itself was valued at around EUR 1.8 billion, showing a modest 2% growth from the previous year. The services market is predominantly concentrated in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and tertiary activities, with these establishments being the main consumers of industrial cleaning. As for the international landscape, the global industrial cleaning market stood at approximately USD 48.9 billion in 2020, with projections anticipating continued growth to reach between USD 55 and 60 billion by 2024. Asia and North America collectively dominate over half of the global market share.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Italian industrial cleaning sector has been particularly pronounced. The initial stringent lockdowns brought economic activity to a standstill, impacting cleaning service providers. However, the sector quickly adapted to the heightened demand for sanitation and disinfection due to the pandemic, sparking a significant boost in cleaning product sales and services. Consequently, cleaning practices evolved, and it is expected that the enhanced focus on sanitation will lead to long-term market growth. Environmental concerns have been a driving force behind the latest demand trends. Regulatory influences such as the EU Detergent Regulation 648 have pushed for adherence to environmental and safety standards, prompting companies to invest in green, bio-based cleaning products. Consumers now emphasize multi-use products that offer hygienic efficacy combined with environmental performance, further fueled by increased hygienic awareness post-pandemic. In terms of market structure, Italy's industrial cleaning market is highly fragmented with a mix of small and large enterprises operating in the sector. The market is labor-intensive, with women constituting a significant portion of the workforce.

Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Industrial cleaning defines a paid cleaning service of premises for professional use. These premises can be places where a tertiary activity is carried out (offices and administrations), places that receive the general public (shopping malls and stores), places related to industry (plants and laboratories), places of health or transport. Unlike ordinary cleaning, industrial cleaning requires very specific machinery and more specialized know-how.
It is therefore an exclusively "business-to-business" market. It is an area where competition is intense because it is extremely complex to differentiate a cleaning offering.
The global industrial cleaning market is expected to continue to grow at a rate of 4.5% through 2024. The main drivers of the market are the growth of the manufacturing and healthcare industries, and the increased importance placed on hygiene and cleanliness in the workplace.
Metal cleaners are expected to be the fastest growing industrial cleaning segment during the forecast period. High demand for metal cleaners in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace is one of the major factors that will drive the market growth.
In Italy, the market is registered under Ateco code 81.22, which identifies the specialized cleaning activities of buildings and industrial plants and machinery. Since 2014, the turnover has grown by 15%, which indicates a growth of the national market.
In Italy, there are many companies that offer industrial cleaning services and may offer other services, such as waste management. The national market is fragmented, but the number of companies has grown strongly in recent years. In fact, in just 4 years, from 2014 to 2018, the number of companies operating in this sector has grown by 29%.
Thus, the industrial cleaning market was booming when it faced the coronavirus emergency. However, the market adapted to the new needs due to the health emergency and operators started offering new cleaning services aimed at sanitizing air and surfaces.
It is important to note that industrial cleaning refers to a method of cleaning rather than cleaning that takes place exclusively at industrial premises.
