The global dishwasher market size was valued at USD 9.98 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 12.29 billion in 2025 to USD 52.63 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.29% during the forecast period. Dishwashers are essentially used for automatically cleaning dish wares and utensils. People commonly use portable dishwashers of compact size in residential settings due to such appliances' portability features. Additionally, less noisy dishwashers are preferably purchased by people worldwide to avoid the disturbing sound that usually comes from the manual dishwashers. The emergence of the shaded & colored dishwashers is likely to add impetus to the demand for such products. These devices effectively match people’s home décor needs.

Nowadays, companies are keenly focusing on providing smart home appliances to cater to different consumer needs. For instance, in September 2020, LG Electronics Inc., a South Korean Multi-national electronics company, introduced a WIFI-enabled, smart LG QuadWash dishwasher in the U.S. market. This dishwasher is equipped with a dynamic dry technology that helps customers eliminate water spots from the dishes and saves time in drying the dishes by hand.

Rising demand for smart home appliances among the population worldwide is expected to drive the demand for innovative dishwashers. Additionally, the companies' regular introduction of the technologically upgraded dishwashers is likely to attract the users towards buying newer kinds of these products, thereby supporting dishwasher market growth. According to a surveyed data presented by the RECYC-QUEBEC, Government of Canada, in January 2018, out of 2,202 Canadian respondents, 80% of them preferred to buy newer home appliances due to their lower propensity for reuse of the older appliances.

Besides this, the introduction of the uncertain COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in many countries across the globe resulted in greater consumer demand for the various kinds of home-based devices for cooking and cleaning related activities. This is likely to spike the revenues from the newer kinds of dishwasher items among these household consumers. For instance, during the first week of June 2020, Robert Bosch GmbH, an appliances maker, reported that the dishwasher unit’s demand was thrice than the usual average monthly demand for India's appliances.

However, regular necessities of repair and maintenance of the dishwashers are anticipated to restraint the market growth. Additionally, the higher cost of the dishwashing items is expected to decline its demand among the lower-income population.
