Global Street Sweeping Services Procurement Trends
Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Street Sweeping Services market.
Warning Trends
Tariffs could negatively impact the cleaning equipment and supplies sector
- The Trump Administration’s reciprocal tariffs, which apply general tariff rate increases to most leading US trade partners, are set to take effect on August 7, after the administration finalized the rates on August 1.
- According to CleanLink, increases in tariffs are expected to impact the cleaning equipment and supplies industry by raising the cost of manufacturing and, thus, the price of products. The tariff increase could also spark supply-chain disruptions, which could further put upward pressure on pricing if goods are in limited supply.
- China, a major exporter to the United States of many products in the cleaning equipment and supplies industry, faces a base tariff of 54.0%. Likewise, Germany, a major exporter of chemicals and cleaning products, and the rest of the European Union face a 15.0% tariff, which will raise the cost of imported cleaning supplies and manufacturers' operating costs, putting upward pressure on market prices.
- Canada and Mexico, major sources for a variety of cleaning equipment and supplies, will now face 35.0% and 25.0% tariff rates, respectively, for exports to the United States. These tariffs will make it more difficult for Mexican and Canadian suppliers to compete in the US market, driving up domestic prices and pressuring supply chains.
Neutral
Crude oil prices dip, but natural gas and fuel prices remain volatile in 2025
- Oil prices have been falling with the introduction of higher tariffs and the predicted decline in global demand. The OPEC+ group of countries also announced they would be unwinding production cuts and increasing their collective output target for May by 411,000 barrels per day.
- Trade wars, ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, and general unrest in the Middle East are causing uncertainty surrounding oil prices, which has led to volatility in prices. In the third week of May 2025, crude oil prices hit $63.67 per barrel, but volatility remains as geopolitical concerns remain.
- Natural gas prices rallied early in 2025 with colder-than-usual temperatures in the United States and high demand, topping out at $4.68/MMBtu in March. Prices have since fallen with the onset of trade wars and weakening demand projections to $3.64/MMBtu in the third week of May 2025.
- The national average of gasoline prices has been rising slightly due to refinery maintenance/outages and blending issues, hitting a national average of $3.15 per gallon in the third week of May 2025. However, gasoline futures have been volatile, falling due to fears of oversupply and deepening concerns about weakening demand with tariffs, but rising after trade deals.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
There is a medium level of supply chain risk in the street sweeping services market, the majority of which stems from fluctuating gasoline prices. To power their fleets of street sweeping trucks, suppliers must purchase gasoline from wholesalers on a regular basis; however, gas prices are historically prone to dramatic fluctuations in price on a yearly, monthly and even daily basis.
This moderate level of financial risk is mainly due to the fragmented nature of the supplier market. This characteristic of the market increases the likelihood of service disruption among suppliers which harms buyer power
ProcurementIQ estimates that there are over 33,500 suppliers in the United States providing street sweeping services and largely serve local and regional markets, meaning that buyers typically have many different suppliers to consider when procuring services. The wide availability of suppliers, in turn, creates price competition among vendors, aiding buyer power.
The United States is a net exporter of special-use work vehicles, meaning it exports more than it imports. This benefits buyers, as there is a stable inventory of domestic vehicles available for puchase.
