The global washing machine market is projected to witness a CAGR of over 7% during 2020-2026 and to reach around USD32,000 million in value terms by the end of 2026. Characteristics of washing machines, such as washing clothes, drying, heating and others, with numerous technological advancements leading to their higher efficiency, in terms of saving water and electricity, are few of the major factors driving the market during the estimated period. Moreover, the government has taken various initiatives towards the development of rural households in developing countries, which is further expected to increase the demand for washing machines during the projected period.

The global washing machines market is expected to witness an accountable growth rate, owing to its higher demand in homes for washing laundry, as they save time and energy. A washing machine operates by spinning the laundry at high speed, thereby generating a centrifugal force that removes water from the laundry along with dirt. These appliances use different components needed for an effective process of cleaning and minimize the human intervention requirement.

The price gap between fully automatic and semi-automatic washing machines is getting reduced, assisting brands to increase their fully automatic washing machines portfolio. However, the availability of laundry shops and growth in online laundry services is likely to hinder the growth of the market. Technological and innovative advancements related to washing machines present a major opportunity for manufactures operating in this market. The millennial generation does not want to engage much in everyday household tasks such as clothes washing, which is one of the driving factors of this market. Normally, the capacity range from 3 to 10 are the most demanded washing machines capacity range and considered suitable for homes, which is one of the major driving factors for the growth in below 6 Kg, between 6-8 Kg capacity washing machines.

Based on type, the global washing machine market is divided into fully automatic and semi-automatic. The fully automatic washing machine segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the growth in urbanization and washing machine user-friendly features such as steam, Wifi and NFC (Near Field Communication technology). According to the latest trend, manufacturers are focusing on the development and manufacture of some energy-efficient washing machines due to different energy labels and energy efficiency policies.

Some of the leading players in the global washing machine market are Whirlpool Corporation, LG Electronics, AB Electrolux, Midea Group Co. Ltd., Panasonic Corporation, among others.
