Smart Cleaning And Hygiene Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Smart Cleaning And Hygiene Market Analysis

The Smart Cleaning And Hygiene Market size is estimated at USD 5.13 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 11.01 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 16.53% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Maintaining cleanliness is essential in all places, especially in hospitals. Around 50% to 70% of hospital-acquired infections (HAI) are spread through contaminated hands. Smart cleaning can help identify common touchpoints in hospitals and find the right solutions to eradicate all germs. Smart cleaning in the healthcare sector is essential to reduce diseases and improve the hospital's hygiene.

• The hospitality industry increasingly utilizes robotic technology to improve operations and enhance the guest experience. For instance, the Garden City Hotel in New York adopted Whiz by SoftBank Robotics' artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform. The hotel staff claims it is convenient to use as they can keep the banquet hall furniture on one side and deploy Whiz to clean the carpets.
• In January 2023, Mero Technologies Inc received a fund of USD 1.5 million from the Canadian Government through the Jobs and Growth Fund. Mero offers smart cleaning solutions for commercial buildings to help measure building occupancy and cleanliness, helping tenants return to work safely. The funding will help Mero to expand its smart cleaning platform efforts into Western Canada and the US.
• The past two years saw a significant upheaval in the cleaning sector as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transformation. The trend of smart cleaning became a necessity as it was a powerful incentive to get workers back into the office. Data-driven smart cleaning made it more efficient than ever for providers to offer a high-quality service that satisfies their customers. AI-integrated smart cleaning solutions enabled more efficient cleaning of meeting rooms and workspaces.
• Data security and protection will be a significant challenge for smart cleaning companies. Smart cleaning functions on data collected by sensors and protecting this data from breaching activities are equally important. For instance, a hacker can access the cameras of a cleaning robot and, in this way, gain knowledge of the internal floor plans of a building.

Smart Cleaning And Hygiene Industry Segmentation

The cleaning industry is undergoing a rapid evolution with the adoption of new technologies like the IoT and PropTech to improve their cleaning solutions. Soft service providers can now access networked, sensor-based point solutions, like intelligent trash cans and motion sensors that track occupancy levels and thresholds. It enables cleaners to schedule cleaning tasks more effectively, preventing overcleaning and saving resources. For instance, sensors can now monitor almost every touchpoint in restrooms, from motion detectors at the entrance to count the number of individuals that entered the restroom to sensors that gauge how full the trash cans, soap dispensers, and paper towel holders are.
