Top Manufacturers of Cleaning Chemicals in the U.S.

The cleaning chemical industry is one of the sectors that is actually doing well despite the COVID-19-induced recession. In fact, according to an analysis of search trends on the industrial marketplace IndustryNet, chemicals were the second most-searched category during the month of May.

Of these, cleaning chemicals were by far the most popular. This comes as no surprise, as businesses look to adopt sterilizing protocols and safer work environments during the economic reopening.

Record Sales in a Downturn

CDC guidelines dictate that sterilizing frequently touched surfaces is statistically significant in reducing the spread of COVID-19. These surfaces include tabletops, walls, rugs and floors, sale keypads, shopping carts, door handles, and all bathroom fixtures. This alone has driven demand for cleaning solutions to never-before-seen levels.

As would be expected, the total revenue for this industry is extremely high. Due to COVID-19, the increase in market demand for hand sanitizers alone is predicted to top 600% in 2020.
