Upholstery Cleaning & Repair Services in the US industry analysis

During the current period, there's been solid growth in the industry. Revenue declined in 2020 as plunging corporate profit and consumer spending resulting from COVID-19 inhibited investment in upholstery services. These trends reversed in 2021 as the economy recovered from the pandemic, causing revenue to soar. Growth in per capita disposable income has given households the funds to invest in the industry's services, fostering relatively stable demand for providers. Technological advancements have brought high-tech cleaning solutions, which can immaculately clean and repair a wide range of upholstery fabrics, thus providing another revenue stream for the industry.

Trends and Insights

  • Upholsterers have performed fairly well during the current period. COVID-19 caused revenue to plunge, but rising per capita disposable income boosted downstream demand for the industry's services.
  • The largest product segment for this industry is upholstery cleaning services. These services generate a large share of revenue because cleaning is typically done annually or bi-annually, generating a consistent revenue stream for providers.
  • Market share concentration in this industry is low because of low barriers to entry and localization. Consolidation has crept upward during the current period as some large players have been engaging in mergers and acquisitions.
