The Global Dry-Cleaning and Laundry Services Market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2022 and 2027. The size of the market is forecast to increase by USD 18,646.9 million. The growth of the market depends on several factors, the increasing participation of women in the labor force, the adoption of smart laundry technology, and the cost-effectiveness and other benefits of laundry services. The rising number of women joining the workforce is a key driver of the global demand for laundry and dry-cleaning services. In the past five years, the participation rate of women in the workforce has increased due to changing societal attitudes and government initiatives, especially in emerging economies. With women having less time for household chores, such as laundry cleaning, the demand for outsourced laundry services has risen in households.

The increasing participation of women in the labor force is notably driving the dry-cleaning and laundry services market growth, although factors such as high capital investments may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The global dry-cleaning and laundry services market growth is being driven by the introduction of smart laundry, which is a crucial factor. The laundry experience has become seamless with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is taking over the market. IoT refers to a system of interconnected computing devices and machines that allow people to transmit and receive data across a network without human contact. It is estimated that the number of IoT-connected devices will grow by approximately 60 billion by 2025. IoT is helping customers to have an easy, affordable, and efficient experience by optimizing productivity through the use of information. This factor is expected to contribute to the growth of the global dry-cleaning and laundry services market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, cost-effectiveness is another key factor driving the growth of smart laundry. A wide range of services is easily available to customers, including quick services, instant pickup, online payment, and consumer loyalty rewards, all of which are attractive offers. These factors are contributing to the growth of the laundry and dry cleaning services market.
The global dry-cleaning and laundry services market growth will be driven by the adoption of sustainable practices. Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the eco-friendly practices offered by dry-cleaning and laundry services, leading to a shift towards more sustainable practices. These practices include measures that help reduce water and/or energy consumption, referred to as green practices. On average, households consume over 13,000 gallons of water to wash about 300 loads of laundry. Opting for Energy Star-certified washing machines can save more than 5,000 gallons of water. By choosing laundry and dry cleaning services, customers can reduce water wastage. Vendors, such as Huntington Cleaners, have already adopted the concept of green cleaning to maintain environmental standards, which not only helps maintain sustainability but also increases revenue in the global laundry and dry cleaning services market during the forecast period.
The global dry-cleaning and laundry services market growth is hindered by the significant challenge of high capital investments. Commercial laundry businesses require large capital investments to set up due to the installation of expensive commercial washing machines, among other costs. Moreover, utility service costs, such as electricity and water, can fluctuate, affecting the overall cost of running the business. The maintenance costs of machines also add to the expenses incurred by commercial laundry venture owners.
The cost of starting a new laundry business ranges from USD 230,000 to USD 1,000,000, depending on factors such as location, machine type, and operation size. Additionally, businesses must invest in chemicals like detergents, spot and stain removers, and bleaching agents to sanitize fabrics. Consequently, high capital investments are expected to limit the number of customers who prefer premium dry-cleaning and laundry services provided by vendors in the global market during the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the laundry and dry cleaning services market.
