Why Small Cleaning Service Companies in Malaysia Struggle to Grow — And How a Global Marketplace Can Help

Introduction

Malaysia’s cleaning services industry is on the rise. The market was valued at USD 1.12 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% until 2028 (source: Mordor Intelligence).
Yet, despite strong demand, most providers remain small SMEs or family-run businesses — locked at the local level without a clear growth path.

Current Challenges

• Fragmented market → Thousands of small operators, very few nationwide brands.

• Low digital presence → Most SMEs rely on Facebook, WhatsApp, or word-of-mouth.

• Trust gap → Customers hesitate without verified reviews or standardized quality.

• Scaling barrier → Few providers expand beyond their city.

What’s Needed

• A stronger digital presence beyond social ads.

• Trust systems with verified providers and customer reviews.

• Cross-regional exposure so SMEs can serve expats, businesses, and even international clients.
