Smart Washing Machine Market Size, by Product, 2020 - 2030 (USD Billion)

Demand for commercial laundry instruments has grown significantly in recent years, driven by the growing healthcare industry and hospitality market requirements. Increasing urbanization in developing economies such as India also adds to growth opportunities. Additionally, a significant rise in household spending and greater adoption of smart appliances in the residential sector fuel the market growth. Greater penetration of smartphones and wireless internet connections is helping increase the adoption rate of smart appliances, such as smart washing machines, across the residential and commercial sectors.

The emergence of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced the development phase and customer preferences regarding convenience and experience with washing machines. AI-enabled machines launched by key competitors in the market with features such as identifying fabric type, optimizing water and detergent use, and achieving energy efficiency have been attracting greater customer attention.

New product launches by multiple companies with innovation-based product developments and post-sale service delivery are also contributing to the growth of this market. For instance, in August 2024, Samsung introduced a newly developed range of large-sized, AI-equipped, front-load washing machines. Featuring intuitive AI technology, a 12 kg size, and a Bespoke design, a series of 10 products is expected to address new-age digital technology-driven appliance demand in India.

Changing lifestyles, busy routines, extended work hours, young customers' requirements for clean casual wear, and the availability of appliances through online distribution channels such as online company portals, e-commerce websites, etc., have also contributed to the growth. According to the United Nations, nearly half of the global population resides in urban areas, and this number is estimated to increase to two-thirds of the total population by 2050. This is anticipated to generate a surge in demand for smart appliances such as washing machines during the forecast period.

Product Insights

The front load washing machines segment dominated the global smart washing machine industry with a revenue share of 54.9% in 2024. Ease of use, convenience offered by the product, and increasing incorporation of advanced technologies are key growth drivers for this segment. Energy and water efficiency ensured by front-load products also contribute to commercial users' growing utilization of front-load machines. Higher spin speeds, greater load capacity, and space-saving designs influence customers' purchase decisions.

The top-load washing machine segment is anticipated to experience significant growth from 2025 to 2030. The zero-to-no-energy-consumption requirement for draining water, facilitated by gravity in top-load machines, results in enhanced energy efficiency compared to front-load machines. Cost-effectiveness plays a vital role in the growth experienced by this segment. Ease of access mid-cycle, simpler operations compared to front-load machines, and lower initial costs are likely to grow.

Capacity Insights

In 2024, the 6-10 kg capacity segment held the largest revenue share of the global smart washing machine industry. Household users in urban areas worldwide primarily drive this segment, and the 6-10 kg capacity machines are increasingly preferred in modern low-space homes in urban settings. New product launches in the capacity range also add to the growth experienced by this segment. For instance, in August 2024, Panasonic Life Solutions India (PLSIND) launched a brand new range of front-load washing machines with a 7 to 9 kgs capacity. The newly introduced range of products is equipped with an IoT-driven connected living platform of Panasonic, MirAIe.

The segment with a more than 10 kg capacity is projected to experience significant growth during the forecast period. The development of this segment is mainly influenced by the utilization of commercial laundry service providers, healthcare service facilities, and hospitality industry participants. Such machines are often used for bulkier items such as blankets, duvet covers, curtains, etc. High-capacity machines provide quick washes and consume less energy for commercial purposes.

Application Insights
