U.S. Laundry Facilities And Dry-Cleaning Services Market Dynamics

Driver: Increase in online/on-demand laundry services

Laundry is a time-consuming task and has become a burden for people, especially for those working full-time. Time constraints due to increasing work pressure and hours restrict people from doing their laundry. The working population has significantly increased over the past few years, thereby contributing to the rising demand for on-demand laundry services due to the convenience they offer. The growth of the online laundry services market is also driven by the increasing number of working women worldwide. According to statistics provided by the World Bank, female labor force has been substantially increasing since 2012. These factors are opening new avenues for online laundry services and are likely to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. With increasing employment and workforce worldwide, people are getting busier, thereby creating significant opportunities for providers of online laundry services. Moreover, customers are increasingly adopting online laundry services as they offer extended services, such as dry-cleaning and washing of certain types of items, including down jackets, blankets, large comforters, and furniture coverings.

Restraints: Innovations in at-home dry-cleaning products

Competition from at home dry-cleaning products is anticipated to lower the demand for commercial laundry & dry-cleaning services over the forecast period. For instance, Procter & Gamble, a consumer products company, offers a product that dry-cleans at home, thereby reducing the number of visits to the dry cleaner. Products such as miniature chemical sets offer an economical way to deodorize and spot-clean ‘dry-clean only’ garments. The availability of similar kinds of product may hamper the market growth in the coming years. In addition, changes in business, school, and social trends toward a less formal attire have decreased the demand for cleaning services. Newer fabrics also resist wrinkling and stains. Hence, most clothes can be washed at home and do not need to be pressed or ironed. Furthermore, the introduction of garments with invisible high-tech finishes that are difficult to clean is expected to hamper the market growth. When a garment made of resin finishes or sulfur dyes are cleaned using a cleaner, the fabric and/or colour of the garment weakens or often tears during the process. To overcome this problem, national franchise named Tide Dry Cleaners offers services which help in returning white, black, and colored garments to their actual colors.

Opportunity: Technological advancements will create opportunities for growth

Various laundry and dry-cleaning service providers are partnering with the hospitality sector to increase their presence in the market. For instance, BDS Laundry partnered with Patriot Hospitality by providing technologically advanced washers and dryers to its new Hampton Inn in Iowa. These machines offer 41 programmable cycles and OPL Control System, which allows the user to gather information on its performance and maintenance schedule. Such strategies adopted by laundry and dry-cleaning service providers are likely to favor the market growth. Furthermore, technology is always changing, which creates opportunities for coin-operated laundry businesses. Hybrid payment systems for laundromats can level up the whole business. With an increasing number of payment methods coming into the picture, minimizing payment constraints has become a strategy to improve customer satisfaction. Hybrid card-operated laundry payment methods are recommended to achieve ease of payment. Hybrid card-operated laundry payment allows one to audit the amount of both coin and card sales in each of the machines.
