The household laundry equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Sizable growth has been observed in the market for household laundry equipment in recent years. An expected surge from $110.52 billion in 2024 to $117.47 billion in 2025 presents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%.
This significant increase during the historic period may be a result of factors like the rise in household electrification, modifications in consumer lifestyles, urbanization, reduction in living areas, an increase in the number of separate families globally, and a heightened awareness around energy conservation.
The household laundry equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the household laundry equipment market to experience consistent growth in the forthcoming years, potentially reaching a value of $142.08 billion by 2029, with an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%.
Factors contributing to this projected growth within the forecast period include the proliferation of smart and connected appliances, energy efficiency and sustainability practices, developments in health and hygiene norms, urbanization and the challenges of limited space, and the advent of laundry automation. Front-load washing machines, washer-dryer combinations, applications for smart laundry, quicker and more effective cycles, and laundry sanitization functions are expected to be primary trends throughout the forecast duration.
The anticipated expansion of household laundry equipment is predicted to be fuelled by swift urbanization in the forecast timeline. For instance, the World Economic Forum, an independent international organization from Switzerland stated in April 2022, that over 4.3 billion people, equivalent to 55% of the global population, resided in urban environments. This figure is projected to surge to 80% by 2050. The escalating urban populace combined with an increase in disposable income and affordability among city dwellers, is expected to enhance the demand for household laundry equipment.
