US Home Laundry Products Market – Current Overview

Volume sales grew during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers increased the frequency of doing laundry. The rate of growth has slowed over the past two years, and price increases have been the main growth driver. With the rate of inflation already in decline, it is likely that prices will normalise, and brands will need to think beyond price increases to maintain margin expectations.

  • US laundry care products market size: The market grew by an estimated 4.6% in 2023, however growth over the next five years to 2028 is expected to be much slower.

US Laundry Products – Market Opportunities

Cold water cleaning

The income squeeze over the past two years has increased the recognition of the benefits of cold water washing. Not only is it more energy efficient, but it can also help improve the lifespan of clothing. Almost half of US consumers rate ‘effective in cold water’ as one of the most important factors when choosing a laundry detergent, so it is important brands respond to this consumer demand, and promote the economising benefits of cold water washing.

Consumers want convenience

Just under half of consumers use products that extend the period between washing, such as sprays that neutralise odour. This highlights consumers’ demand for convenience formats. Brands that let consumers spray instead of wash to reduce the burden of laundry chores will find themselves at the forefront of the market.

Trusted by global industry leaders

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.

Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton

Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.

When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.

The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.

Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave

Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch
