Soap & Cleaning Compound Manufacturing in Canada Industry Data and Analysis
Soap and cleaning compound manufacturers have experienced a varied performance recently, with certain markets significantly impacting their sales. Supermarkets and mass merchandisers continue to be strong avenues, as consumers opt for bulk purchases to combat rising prices. Hygiene standards have also spurred growth in healthcare sales. However, the office building market, plagued by high remote work rates and construction slowdowns, has seen stagnation. Food service establishments face challenges from declining disposable incomes and tight profit profit, affecting manufacturers reliant on this market. Trade has fluctuated, with initial pandemic-driven highs normalizing but now facing hurdles because of tariffs between Canada and the US. Industry revenue has been decreasing at a CAGR of 2.6% over the past five years to total an estimated $2.5 billion in 2025, including an estimated increase of 1.1% in 2025. It should be noted that the five-year period started at a high in 2020 as pandemic concerns led to surging soap and cleaning compound sales, contributing to the decline in the 5-year CAGR.
