Cleaning Services in France - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2025-2029)

Cleaning Services in France industry analysis

Cleaning services in France continue to benefit from robust corporate demand, rising interest from residential clients and the proliferation of new cleaning technology to enhance their core revenue streams. A growing urban population has increased the number of clients, ranging from private residential households to commercial clients with offices that require professional cleaning. Although inflationary pressures have negatively affected business sentiment and consumers’ propensity to pursue cleaning services, recent economic stabilisation and the continued decline of interest rates across France enabled greater demand for cleaning services. Nonetheless, the persistent appeal of do-it-yourself (DIY) services continues to eat away at larger cleaning service demand among residential clients, who may opt for this to save money. Despite this, cleaning services continue to grow steadily, with revenue rising at a CAGR of 0.8% to an estimated €20.1 billion through the end of 2025, including an anticipated 3.0% slip in 2025 alone. 

Trends and Insights

• Weak confidence restricts revenue. During times of uncertainty, businesses and consumers cut their spending, reducing demand for cleaning services.
• Window cleaning benefits from urbanisation. Increased urbanisation has led to a larger number of tall buildings with many glass windows being constructed, creating more revenue opportunities for window cleaners.
• Larger companies can secure higher-value contracts. Cleaners with greater resources can tender for more lucrative large-scale contracts, which smaller companies lack the financial and capital resources to secure.
