Understanding Market Size in the B2B Cleaning and Hygiene Space
By Mark Jackmore, CEO
Navigating the B2B cleaning and hygiene (JanSan) market can be a daunting task for many brands. One of the primary challenges lies in accurately gauging market size and share due to the scarcity of publicly available transaction data. Qualitative data, while useful, often falls short in providing the granular insights needed to make strategic decisions.
At Precision, we leverage our access to a vast repository of transaction data — encompassing 50% of all B2B transactions made in the JanSan space — to offer unparalleled market intelligence.

The Challenge of Limited Data
For most brands in the B2B cleaning and hygiene sector, obtaining reliable market size and share information is a significant hurdle. Publicly available data is often fragmented and outdated, and qualitative data can only offer a limited perspective. This lack of precise data can lead to:
- Inaccurate Market Assessments: Without robust data, brands may misjudge the size of the market or their share within it, leading to misguided strategies.
- Ineffective Competitive Analysis: Understanding how competitors are performing and identifying market trends becomes challenging without concrete data as support.
