Commercial Washing Machine Market by Product (Fully Automatic, Semi-Automatic, and Dryers), by Capacity (Below 6 kg, 6.1 to 8 kg, and Above 8 kg), by Technology (Smart Connected Washing Machine and Conventional Washing Machine), by Application (Healthcare, Hospitality, and Others), by End Use (Commercial and Residential): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2024–2030.

Market Definition

The Commercial Washing Machine Market size was valued at USD 33.20 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 45.18 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 4.5% from 2024 to 2030. A commercial washing machine is a type of laundry equipment that designed specifically for use in commercial environments, such as hotels, hospitals, schools, and laundromats. These machines are typically larger and more heavily built than consumer-grade washing machines, hence are capable of handling larger loads of laundry in a single cycle.

Commercial washing machines are also designed to be more durable and able to withstand the constant use that they are subjected to in a commercial setting. They may have additional features and capabilities that are not found on consumer-grade washing machines, such as the ability to handle heavy or specialty fabrics, or to process large amounts of laundry quickly and efficiently.

Market Dynamics and Trends 

The demand for commercial washing machines is increasing, owing to the rise in demand for laundry services in various sectors, such as hospitality, healthcare, and commercial laundries. As the need for these services grows, there is a corresponding increase in demand for commercial washing machines to support these operations. In addition, advancements in washing machine technology has led to development of more efficient and cost-effective commercial washing machines, which is further boosting the market growth.

Moreover, growth of the tourism industry across the globe has resulted in the need for commercial washing machines in hotels, resorts, and other hospitality sectors to maintain hygiene, thus accelerating growth of the market. According to The United Nation World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as of September 2022, around 700 million tourists traveled internationally between January and September, which is more than double the number recorded for the same period in 2021.

However, high cost of these machines, which can be a barrier for smaller businesses and laundromats, along with high installation and maintenance cost of commercial washing machines restrain the market growth.

On the other hand, many commercial washing machines now come with a range of advanced features, such as multiple wash cycles, advanced control systems, and the ability to connect to a water supply and drain system. These features allow businesses to customize the washing process to meet their specific needs and improve efficiency, which is expected to create growth opportunities for the market.
