The laundry care market encompasses a broad range of products, services, and solutions to ensure effective cleaning, maintenance, and management of textiles such as clothing, bed linens, towels, and other fabric items. Key product categories include detergents, fabric softeners, stain removers, bleach agents, dryer sheets, ironing aids, and other specialized treatments. Laundry care is specially formulated to help remove stains on clothes effectively. Consumer health and hygiene concerns are increasing the demand for laundry care products across the residential, hotel, and hospital sectors. Furthermore, the hotel and hospitality industry is continuously growing and offering every possible service, including laundry care, which is an influential factor driving the demand for laundry care products across the globe. In contrast, laundry services are expensive as they include labor costs, equipment costs, the volume of laundry, quality standards, and outsourcing costs. The laundry care uses surfactants, fragrances, dyes, and preservatives, which cause skin irritation, respiratory distress, and even cancer, hampering the market. However, the rising development of sustainable and eco-friendly laundry care products and increasing preference among consumers for fragrances in their clothes is advancing scented laundry care products, which is expected to generate opportunities in the laundry care market.
