Fabric Care Global Market Report 2025

Fabric care encompasses practices and products geared towards maintaining the cleanliness, quality, and durability of textiles. This includes washing, drying, ironing, and storing garments to ensure they remain in optimal condition.

Key fabric care products include fabric detergents, fabric softeners or enhancers, and stain removers or bleaches. Fabric detergents are specially formulated cleaning agents designed to remove dirt, stains, and odors during laundry. They come in various forms, such as powder, sheets, bars, PACs, and tablets, and are classified by nature as synthetic, organic, or others. These products are distributed through diverse sales channels, including wholesalers, distributors, convenience stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, online platforms, independent retailers, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting. The increased costs of imported technology, office equipment, and critical digital infrastructure are driving up operating expenses for service providers, compelling them to either pass these costs on to clients or absorb the financial strain themselves. Outsourcing firms and IT service providers are grappling with higher hardware costs and supply chain delays, which are disrupting project timelines and squeezing profitability. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs have weakened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key global markets, slowing export-driven revenues. To navigate these challenges, the sector must focus on accelerating digital transformation, optimizing costs, and strengthening domestic client relationships to sustain growth and remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

The fabric care market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $111.16 billion in 2024 to $118.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in population, growing purchase of premium products, rise in disposable income of consumers, improvement in living standards, increasing adoption of e-commerce, and increasing use of clothing.

The fabric care market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $148.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for environment-friendly and sustainable laundry care products, growing awareness of using quality detergent, increased health and hygiene concerns, increasing consumer awareness, and rising consumer lifestyles. Major trends in the forecast period include smart fabric care solutions, sustainable packaging innovations, the development of fabric care products, the invention of washing machines, the introduction of detergents, and innovations such as automatic washing machines, dryers, and fabric softeners.

The forecast of 6.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. may experience rising consumer product prices as tariffs on enzyme-based detergents, scent capsules, and fabric conditioners from India and France affect home care product supply chains. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The fabric care market is set to experience growth due to an expected rise in lifestyle improvements. Lifestyle enhancements encompass positive changes in various life aspects, contributing to overall well-being. Factors fueling this trend include increased health awareness, improved education, and shifting societal norms. Effective fabric care is crucial for maintaining cleanliness, hygiene, confidence, comfort, and garment durability, thus enhancing lifestyle quality. Notably, data from July 2023 by the Office for National Statistics reveals significant lifestyle adjustments, with 91.0% of women and 81.7% of men making changes, while individuals aged 50 to 64 years showed the highest rate at 90.7%. Hence, the fabric care market is experiencing growth due to a rise in lifestyle enhancements.

Leading companies in the fabric care market prioritize innovation to meet consumer demands, notably in odor elimination solutions. Odor removers are designed to preserve fabric quality by efficiently removing unpleasant smells. For instance, in September 2022, Procter & Gamble launched Rinse & Refresh, a fabric rinse solution that effectively removes odor-causing residues and hard water metal buildup. This product enhances laundry detergent efficacy, resulting in fresher, softer, and brighter fabrics. Notably, Rinse & Refresh is gentle on sensitive skin as it contains no dyes or strong fragrances, making it suitable for washing baby clothes.

In June 2023, ByNext, a tech-enabled clothing and premise care company based in the US, acquired Laundry Angels for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to bolster ByNext's omni-service strategy by broadening its customer base and expanding its range of services. By integrating Laundry Angels' operations and technology, ByNext anticipates enhancing profitability and improving profit margins. Laundry Angels is a US-based company that provides laundry and dry cleaning pickup and delivery services, specializing in fabric care.
