Market Restraints
Negative Environmental Impact of Washing Machines to Hinder Market Growth
The washing machine market growth may get impeded owing to the risks posed to the environment by these appliances, slowing down the purchase of these machines. Research conducted by a team from the Plymouth University in the UK found that one cycle of a washing machine can release over 700,000 microscopic plastic fibers in the environment. The biggest contributor, the researchers observed, was acrylic, which churned out nearly 730,000 tiny synthetic fibers per wash.
Pollution caused by micro-plastic materials is a growing ecological concern across the globe as these substances are known to contaminate food chains, trigger behavioral changes in animals, and disrupt the energy flow between organisms. Findings of this study were substantiated through a study performed by University of California Santa Barbra, which also concluded that washing of clothes is a massive contributor to micro-plastic pollution in water bodies.
Regional Analysis
Increasing Adoption of Sedentary Lifestyle to Drive the Market in Asia-Pacific
The market size in Asia-Pacific stood at USD 21.66 billion in 2019 and the region is poised to dictate the washing machine market share in the forthcoming years. This will primarily occur as a result of the increasing adoption of corporate work culture in developing nations such as India and China, which will make sedentary lifestyles more prevalent in the region. Besides this, rapid economic growth is putting more money in people’s hands, encouraging them to demand for luxury home electronics such as these machines.
In North America, steady income will ensure stable demand for electronic products, while in Europe high per capita income will propel the market in the foreseeable future.
