Industry Analysis
There are several companies in San Diego offering cleaning services. However, as stated earlier, there are only three competitive companies in San Diego downtown where Jan Kin is the leading. Therefore, First Cleaners will get into the market focusing Jan King as the role model company. This will imply having quality services to beat the other two companies (The business cleaning company Inc., and Coverall San Diego).
There are so many people that require the services of professional cleaners in the United States of America(Professional Management of Housekeeping Operations, Thomas A. Jones). The three companies cannot be able to provide all the necessary cleaning services required by the people from San Diego. This then leaves a very large space for cleaning experts like Fast Cleaners Cleaning Company.
The cleaning industry helps the state in many ways; it ensures that the environment is always clean besides generating millions of jobs across the US.

Barriers to Entry into the Industry
In defining the barriers to the entry of new firms into the industry, Geroski (2013) takes a general perspective. The author refers this as the cost of production that a new firm has to undertaker in the industry that the existing firm doesn’t take. Therefore, Smith (2012) emphasizes that a firm has to have a deep understanding of these barriers and lay down structural strategies on how to contain them. Likewise this will be the same for First Cleaners Company.
The main barriers in these industries are the price wars among companies within the same vicinity. The competitors will have no respect to other players in the industry, they try as much as possible to get the maximum clients. Their actions can lead to a cleaning company providing non services at all. These barriers include: Advertising, capital, control of resources, customer loyalty, economies of scale, distributor agreements, Inelastic demand, government regulation, intellectual property, investment and network effect.
Growth/Potential
It is indubitably clear that cleaning industry is one of the top ranking growing industries in the United states. In fact, it has been forecasted that there will be a five percent rate of growth between 2008 and 2018 (Durkee, 2006). According to Durkee, among other factors, there is estimated increase of the elderly people who will need the services over the period. In addition, there will be personnel consumption in terms of cleaning has been predicted that they are deemed to increase by three times between 2015 to2030.
Ceris Burns international communication management (2015) carried out a survey where they focused on the future of the cleaning industry. This management used consumer perceptions through a series of surveys to enable the cleaning professionals to create the product servuces that will lead to high service for the coming years. Theefore, factors such as the company branding, practical research, investment in machinery and development were taken into account leading to the following findings:
• About seventy eight percent of the participants said ‘machinery is more effective than a mop’
• 66% stated that the effectiveness is the most important factor when designing a cleaning equipment or service.
• 51% preferred to see cleaners in branded uniforms
• Thirty four percent did not talk to the cleaner at work
• 72% stated that cleaning enables them to feel very satisfied.
• 38% provided that they are contented with cleaning.
From this study, it is pretty clear that there is every future for the cleaning industry, hence potential growth for the firms. However, individual firms have to form their own strategies that will enable them grow. For instance, firms can expand to the intercontinental markets such as the pacific and Pan-Africa markets. This will involve support of franchisees over the seas or opening more branches. First Cleaners will be at the forefront in ensuring that it not only focused on the San Diego Downtown market, but also laying down strategy for its growth over the sea.
