Asia-Pacific Dishwasher Market Outlook, 2028

As the economies of many countries in the Asia-Pacific region continue to grow, more and more consumers are able to afford dishwashers. This is especially true in urban areas, where people have higher incomes and are more likely to invest in modern home appliances. Furthermore, the changing lifestyles of Asia Pacific consumers, less time spent cleaning dishes, and less water waste are the primary factors driving the installation of dishwashers in the residential and commercial sectors. Product innovation in the dishwasher, such as voice control systems, pre-soak cycles, adjustable shelves, better spray guns, and improved wash and dry systems, is expected to drive market development. However, manual labour is less expensive in the Asia-Pacific region. On the other hand, the higher prices of dishwashers make it difficult for the average residential population to install the machine. Furthermore, rising hygiene concerns and the development of new and innovative products are expected to drive market growth. Moreover, as people in the Asia-Pacific region upgrade their homes, they are increasingly choosing to install modern and energy-efficient appliances, including dishwashers. This trend is particularly strong in countries like China and India, where urbanisation and rising incomes have led to increased demand for modern homes and appliances.

According to the research report, "Asia-Pacific Dishwasher Market Outlook, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is anticipated to add USD 7.49 Billion from 2023 to 2028. The dishwasher market is constantly evolving, with manufacturers introducing new features and technologies that improve the efficiency, usability, and effectiveness of dishwashers. These advancements are making dishwashers more appealing to consumers, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where consumers are looking for the latest and greatest products, and the market will grow as a result. Furthermore, as people become more conscious of the importance of hygiene, they seek ways to improve the cleanliness of their homes, including their dishes. Dishwashers are more efficient and hygienic than hand washing dishes, so they are in high demand. The popularity of smart kitchen equipment has grown over time. The demand for dishwashers with sustainable technology and innovative functions is now being driven by key companies. Dishwashers are becoming more popular among the primary target audience, which includes married couples, the working population, bachelors, and single families. The widespread availability of dishwashers with localized designs and water and energy-saving capabilities is also expected to boost dishwasher sales. During the forecast period, this factor is expected to drive demand for the Asia Pacific dishwasher market.

The market is divided into two categories: built-in and freestanding. The numerous advantages of the freestanding segment, it captured the largest market share in 2022, accounting for more than 90% of the market. The products' ease of movement and handling make them indispensable for commercial consumers. They are usually less expensive than built-in products. During the forecasted period, the built-in segment is expected to have the highest CAGR. Built-in products have more features than freestanding products, such as specialized wash cycles, targeted sprays, and multiple spray arms. The market is divided into commercial and residential applications. In 2022, the Residential segment will have the largest market share in the Asia Pacific market. Factors contributing to the growth of the regional application segment include increased awareness of sanitary methods and a preference for modal kitchens, which are expected to drive the segment during the forecast period. During the forecasted period, the Commercial Segment will have the highest CAGR in the Asia Pacific dishwasher market. Increased demand for dishwashers in restaurants, hotels, workplaces, bars, and pubs. Based on distribution channel, the market is segmented into multi-brand stores, specialty stores, and online. Due to the wide availability of branded dishwashing items in these stores, multi-brand stores are expected to have the largest market share. Furthermore, users can see a product performance demo in person with the assistance of store staff at these locations, which aids in revenue generation from this segment. There are several multi-brand stores in the Asia Pacific that sell dishwashers from various brands. Some of the popular ones include Best Denki, Harvey Norman, Courts, Gain City, Tangs and many more.

Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific dishwasher market is segmented into various major countries, such as China, Japan, India, Australia, and South Korea. Among the countries in the Asia-Pacific region, China is currently leading the market due to its massive population, which means there is a high demand for household appliances such as dishwashers. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in disposable income in China, which has led to an increase in demand for household appliances such as dishwashers. Furthermore, China is a major manufacturing hub, and many global brands have set up manufacturing plants in China to take advantage of the low labour and production costs. This has resulted in a wide variety of dishwashers being available on the Chinese market at competitive prices. Moreover, the Chinese government has implemented several initiatives to promote the use of energy-efficient appliances, including dishwashers. This has further contributed to the growing demand for dishwashers in the country. According to a 2020 survey conducted by the Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association, dishwasher penetration in Japanese households is estimated to be around 14%. One reason for this is that many Japanese households prefer to wash dishes by hand because it is considered a more hygienic and careful method of cleaning dishes. Furthermore, the smaller size of many Japanese kitchens and homes makes it more difficult to fit large appliances like dishwashers. Dishwashers are becoming more popular in Japan, particularly among younger generations who are more accustomed to using appliances for household chores. Manufacturers such as Panasonic, Toshiba, and Sharp offer a variety of dishwashers tailored to the needs of Japanese consumers, including compact models designed for smaller kitchens and apartments.

Moreover, water and electricity supply can be unreliable, affecting dishwasher performance and making them less appealing to consumers.
