Commercial Laundry Machinery Market Analysis by Equipment Type, by End User & by Machinery Segment with Regional Outlook & Forecast to 2025

Market Landscape

According to Goldstein Research, global commercial laundry machinery market is set to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% over the forecast period (2017-2025). North America is probably the more mature market for vended and on-premise machines. Manufacturers are seeing growth in emerging markets such as China and India. However, countries like Japan, South Korea and Taiwan have accepted the laundromat concept for years and are strong markets for commercial laundry machineries. Commercial laundry, dry-cleaning equipment, and distribution business is highly fragmented, with full-line or partial-line equipment distributors, globally. All distributors are independently owned and primarily focused on local & regional markets. For instance, in 2016, U.S. and Canada sales in the commercial laundry equipment industry were made to the following customer segments: laundromats, at 42.66%, multi-housing laundries (31.09%), and on-premise laundries (motels, hotels, nursing homes, prisons, et cetera), at 26.25%.

Market Opportunity

USD 40 Billion Laundry Industry Ready for Reinvention

• Global market for the hospitality industry is expected to see year-over-year growth of about 3.05% for the next five years. While this may highlight the trend of global citizens traveling more, taking more time off from work, and investing in travel expenses, this also has implications of another growing market: laundry.

• Tour & Travel Sector (i.e. from travelling clothes) offer opportunity for in-house laundry services at hotels and resorts as well as standalone commercial launderers to service these travellers.
• In 1780, merchandised washers with rotating drums were introduced around Industrial Revolution and the state of commercial laundry services continued with rapid and innovative change since. From hospitals to hotels to restaurants, the commercial laundry industry blossomed into a widespread commodity, inspiring more efficient and streamlined technology. These businesses also came to understand the need for protection, such as comprehensive insurance, such as what is offered through programs such as Coin-Op Advantage for coin-operated laundromats.
• Recently, there has been pressure on commercial laundry services to go more eco-friendly, lightening their carbon footprint. Incorporation of polymer beads and ozone technology with energy-efficient machines, have responded well in commercial laundry services.
• Standalone businesses or In-house services are continuing to help develop the emerging trend of using germ-fighting solutions like ionic silver for textiles (i.e. bed linens, lab coats, towels). By the time, the FabriCare business has depended on and followed through with adjusting to innovation and technological advances, only helping customers even more in the meantime.

Investors banking on growing laundry market in South Korea

South Korea overall laundry market is worth about USD 3.85 billion and is mostly offline. In South Korea, vended market is primarily laundromats and the on-premise market includes customers such as assisted living and long-term care facilities, fire departments, hospitals, hotels and nursing homes. Laundromats provide washing machines for individuals to use for a fee and are the largest downstream market for commercial washing machine manufacturers. However, industry operators have increasingly relied on other markets, including multifamily residences and on-premise laundering facilities. Nevertheless, as laundromats expand their operations or upgrade their existing equipment, demand for commercial washing machines generally improves. In 2020, demand from laundromats is expected to decrease marginally, representing a threat to this industry.

Larger Players In The Industry

Major competitors in this industry include Whirlpool Corporation, The Dexter Company, Super Laundry Equipment Corp., and Alliance Laundry Systems. Among which, Proctor and Gamble has entered into the commercial dry-cleaning business. P&G introduced its Tide Dry Cleaners franchise to leverage its marketing prowess as well as six decades of experience in fabric care business.
