Growth Factors in the Washing Machine Market

• Increasing Urbanization and Disposable Income

The fast urbanization and increasing disposable incomes of consumers in emerging markets are key drivers of growth in the washing machine market. As more and more people move to cities, urban dwellers, especially middle-class households, show increased interest in products that simplify everyday conveniences. For instance, an increasing number of urban dwellers in India and Brazil are using the extra disposable income to purchase washing machines to save time on household chores. An increase in disposable income is leading many consumers to purchase advanced washing machine models, and this trend has an upside for washing machine brands, including those with smart connectivity models and highly efficient models. The findings from the washing machine brand Samsung, which sells high-end washers targeted at urban dwellers that value time-saving home appliances, demonstrates that this is a growing demand as consumers continue to invest in washing machines.

• Technological Advancements in Washing Machines

Innovation is driving the development of the washing machine market through added functionality and ease of use. Consumers looking for efficiency and performance are drawn to features such as eco-friendly cycles, energy efficient inverter motors, and smart controls. LG's TurboWash technology is an example of helping to minimize wash times while maintaining cleaning performance, which is appealing to busy households. As well, some of the IoT advancements allow users to remotely operate and monitor machines using smartphone apps. The advancements in technology that are available to the washing machine consumer today address the needs of consumers today and prompt them to look for ways to upgrade or replace old washing machines. Innovations by producers continue to expand consumer choice. Ultimately, as manufacturers innovate, the demand for expensive, advanced washing machines will contribute to the development of the washing machine market.

• Growing Awareness of Hygiene and Health

The washing machine market is ramping up due to increased awareness of hygiene (especially after global epidemics) and the focus by consumers on machines that actually clean and sanitize clothes. Highly marketable washing machines to consumers now offer steam cycles and allergen removal programs, particularly attractive for health-conscious consumers. Machines that offer cycles to care for delicate items or to sanitize clothes are very sought after, as in Whirlpool's focus on hygiene machines. There is huge growth in this market for washing machines as consumers focus on health and cleanliness, pushing them to purchase more sensibly when they can have products that meet their hygiene and cleaning needs.

Key Trends in the Washing Machine Market

• Rise of Smart and Connected Washing Machines

Connected washing machines and smart washing machines are one of the more noticeable trends in market development. The trend is taking off with the popularity of smart home ecosystems. Both connected washing machines, and smart washing machines with both connected and smart features, offer, amongst other features, remote operation, cycle customization, and maintenance alerts via apps. For example, one of the features on Samsung's Smart Control washing machines is the ability to monitor and make adjustments to wash cycles from your smartphone! The trend is attractive to the technology-savvy consumer and connects seamlessly with other devices on platforms such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa. With smart home adoption continuing to rise, the consumers' propensity to purchase smart and connected washing machines will continue to change the the washing machine market going forward.

• Emphasis on Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

Sustainability is one of the most important trends shaping the washing machine market, as consumers, retailers, and regulators are being mindful of eco-friendly appliances and technologies. Manufacturers are designing appliances that become more and more sustainable by developing machines with energy efficient motors, using technologies that save water and materials from which they make them (e.g., using recyclable items) to better meet environmental measures. For example, Miele's washing machines now utilize Eco Wash cycles, etc. These can lower water and energy in relation to wash cycles - none of sacrificing their washing performance. Consumers are also purchasing ENERGY STAR washing machines to save on their utility bills and reduce their environmental footprint. This trend is strengthened by government incentives for energy efficient appliances which allow for more innovation and more reasons for consumers to consider them, and thus this trend mostly positively impacted the growth of the market.

• Growth of Compact and Portable Models

The rising demand for compact and portable washing machines is an important trend, particularly in urban places with reduced living spaces. This category includes small households, apartments, and dormitories where space is limited. Portable washing machines are popular among younger professionals and students because of their ease of use and mobility, like Haier's portable washing machines. These devices have enough capacity for small loads plus ease of connectivity and storage. Rental housing has also positively influenced the trend for compact, portable appliances, as tenants seek affordable space-saving appliances, and they have increased the market for compact washing machine designs.
