The projection represents an 11% increase in CAGR since 2021.

According to a report published this month by research firm P&S Intelligence, the global market for central vacuum cleaner systems is expected to hit almost US$949 million by 2030. That amount represents an 11.1% increase in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) since 2021, when sales reached nearly $369 million.

Reasons cited by the report for the growth included the continued implementation of green technologies, rising efforts toward improving hygiene in commercial buildings, and increasing demand for indoor-air cleaners, as well as expected international regulations regarding vacuum systems.

When comparing wall-mounted systems versus ground-mounted systems, the report predicted greater growth in the latter category, as the superior suction power of ground-mounted systems make them a popular option for hospitals and commercial buildings with more than 6,000 square feet.

Hospitals and other health care facilities such as clinics, pharmaceutical labs, manufacturing sites, and medical research centers will most likely see the highest growth of central vacuum use, as these systems can collect and safely remove harmful substances and toxic waste, while helping to avoid cross-contamination. Already, the systems experienced a surge in use at such facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beyond health care facilities, other non-residential users of central vacuum cleaners typically include those that utilize large commercial spaces, most specifically industrial sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, electronics, and aviation. The fact that some central vacuum models are designed to resist explosion also makes them a safer choice for chemical manufacturers. Plus, according to the study, these systems can reduce maintenance costs as well, making them an attractive choice for both safety and financial reasons.

The report cited China as the current largest revenue contributor to the market, due to its trend of higher use in carpeting, both in residential and commercial spaces. However, it’s expected that the Australian market will demonstrate the fastest growth in the next eight years, in part because of the country’s investments in infrastructure and increasing attention to green cleaning initiatives.

Comic-Con International, the pop-culture festival which returned to San Diego this year after a two-year pandemic-related hiatus, recently wrapped up its four-day event. Gone are the comic-book artists, the superhero actors, and their adoring cosplaying fans.

But just because the participants went home doesn’t mean the event was quite over—because, according to an article by local San Diego news station KPBS, 46,000 pounds of garbage were left behind.

More than 100 workers from the Downtown San Diego Partnership Clean & Safe Program were assigned to the cleanup, which included pulling marketing signage off buildings and power spraying streets and windows, as well as removing all that trash.

Miraculously, while the event had just ended at 5 p.m. on Sunday, workers were already finalizing their spot cleaning the very next day, in preparation for the next event to come.

“Right now, we’re just making sure we got a little bit of graffiti,” Alonso Vivas, executive director of the Clean & Safe Program said as they were finishing up on Monday.

Of course, this cleaning crew is not alone. According to Writer’s Block Live, the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) reports that about 13,000 trade shows occur in the United States annually—and all the events require cleanup, with some more than others. Imagine, for instance, what cleanup must be like for crews after an event such as World Dairy Expo, which is held annually in Madison, Wisconsin, and has had more than 2,000 dairy cows in attendance.

Obviously, as the saying goes, not all superheroes wear capes.

ISSA Show North America 2022—the most important trade show for the commercial, institutional, and residential cleaning community—is officially opened for registration.

The event, which will be held October 10–13 at McCormick Place in Chicago, offers industry professionals opportunities for networking, education, and product discovery that can help them change their businesses—and the way the world looks at the cleaning industry—for the better. All those interested in attending are encouraged to register now.

“The ISSA Show North America is the industry’s largest and most anticipated event of the year,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “It’s the premier place for organizations and professionals to come together to learn, network, and share innovative cleaning products that will guide us on the path to better health.”

ISSA Show North America 2022 will host over 70 educational sessions providing resources for attendees to stay up to date on the latest trends and solutions for cleaning, disinfection, and infection prevention, as well as opportunities for pursuing accreditation, training, and certification. As in past years, the 2022 sessions will cover important topics such as hiring and retention in post-pandemic times, budgeting and marketing for infection prevention, and the future of sustainability in the cleaning industry.

“This year, we’re offering a wider array of opportunities for networking, education, and product discovery,” said Amie Gilmore, Director, Informa Markets. “Learning and collaboration are essential to evolving this industry and for changing how the world views cleaning.”

The conference will feature more than 50 guest speakers—industry leaders passionate about advancing cleaning information, standards, education, and innovation to improve human health. The three keynote sessions will spotlight RPM Restaurant Group Co-Owner Bill Rancic, filmmaker Sarah Moshman, and Derreck Kayongo, a native of Uganda and former refugee who worked his way up to become the CEO of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and founder of the Global Soap Project.

Kayongo’s presentation will tackle the issue of discrimination in the workplace by examining how lack of diversity and inclusion can impact the corporate bottom line. Through his session, Kayonga hopes to instill what he calls a “Corporate Moral Aptitude” into the bloodstream of attendees’ organizational cultures, positioning them to succeed in an increasingly multicultural workforce.
