The global cleaning and hygiene product market size is calculated at USD 171 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach around USD 317.99 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2024 to 2034.
The cleaning and hygiene product market is driven by innovation, with companies investing in product improvement, smart technology, and eco-friendly formulation. This is due to the changing consumer preference regarding sustainability and high cleaning, hygiene, and disinfection standards. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increasing number of individuals opting for routine use of cleaning and hygiene products, including hand sanitizers, soaps, and other disinfectants. This has led to a spike in demand for products in the market. Globally, rising sanitation standards in public spaces such as offices, restaurants, cafes, parks, and schools and rising healthcare expenditure have caused a significant increase in demand in the market. A surge in disposable income and the expansion of the middle class in developing countries are also fueling the demand for hygiene and cleaning products, particularly among urban populations.
However, the market also faces several challenges to expansion, including fluctuating raw material prices and environmental degradation concerns. Supply chain interruptions across the world triggered by factors such as regional conflicts and unstable governments in certain countries continue to affect the stability of this market. Advanced economies in North America, Europe, and countries such as Japan, China, and South Korea in the Asia Pacific are becoming increasingly modernized and adopting higher hygiene and cleaning standards. Sustainability for existing and emerging companies is increasingly driven by intense market competition, as well as investing in green technologies to ensure conformity with consumer demand for greener products.
