The cordless steam iron supports convenient and portable home appliances by providing lightweight, wire-free, and easy-to-carry ironing solutions that improve mobility, storage efficiency, and user convenience in modern households. For instance, in March 2025, according to Designveloper, a Vietnam-based software company, due to the growth of smart home technology, there were 16.6 billion IoT-connected devices globally in 2023, a 15% increase from 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for convenient and portable home appliances is driving the growth of the cordless steam iron industry. The growing demand for female workforce participation is expected to propel the growth of cordless steam iron market going forward. Female workforce participation refers to the proportion of women who are either employed or actively seeking employment within the total working-age female population. The rise in female workforce participation is due to increasing access to education and employment opportunities, as improved skill development and equal hiring practices enable more women to enter and sustain active roles in the labor market. A cordless steam iron supports female workforce participation by saving ironing time and improving convenience in daily household chores, allowing working women to manage home responsibilities more efficiently and dedicate more time to professional activities. For instance, in August 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based federal government agency, the women’s civilian labor force increased from 79,467 in July 2024 to 80,023 in July 2025, reflecting a 0.70% year-on-year growth.
