We spend a lot of time with small and mid-sized service businesses across Canada. Over the past year, one sector kept coming up in conversations—facilities cleaning. Owners talked about labour shortages, slow-but-steady growth, and a surprising number of new contract opportunities.
So we dug in.
The result is a full market report on Ontario’s facilities cleaning industry, now available for download right here on this page.
What’s inside:
- Market size and structure ($3B+, highly fragmented)
- Where demand is coming from and what’s driving it
- How vertical specialization and tech adoption are shaping winners
- Key benchmarks around margins, turnover, and client retention
- What’s really changing on the ground—and what’s not
If you run a cleaning company, invest in one, or serve the sector in any way, this field guide is designed to help you make sharper decisions.
