Carpet Cleaning in the US industry analysis

Revenue for the industry is expected to increase at a CAGR of 3.6% to an estimated $6.8 billion through the end of 2024, including a decline of 1.2% in 2024 alone. Demand for carpet cleaning services has improved over this period as growth in household formation rates has expanded the available client base for operators and rising per capita disposable income has enabled consumers to purchase cleaning services. Additionally, from 2017 to 2020, declining office vacancy rates, increasing nonresidential construction activity and growth in the number of businesses have broadened operators' potential client base in the business sector, as more office and retail space naturally increased demand for commercial carpet cleaning services.
