Dishwasher – Overview

Dishwashers are a frequent type of white goods used for dishwashing and are used in both residential and commercial kitchens. The goal of the dishwasher is to use the mechanical force necessary to distribute and direct the detergent solution and to wet the dishes thoroughly, the area around them, and the area underneath them to remove any dirt. Dishwashers reduce water usage by 74% when used regularly, and they expedite and enhance kitchen cleanup.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Disposable Income and Changing Lifestyle of Consumers

The Singapore Dishwasher Market size is growing due to many factors, including an increase in personal disposable income, a rise in health and hygiene awareness, hectic lifestyles of consumers, an increase in small and medium-sized restaurants, the growth of the tourism industry, an increase in the number of women employed, and the growing popularity of eating out. Dishwashers and other similar smart kitchen equipment are becoming more and more popular as a means of raising living standards.

Challenges

High Upfront Cost

The high upfront cost of dishwashers acts as a major restraining factor for their market growth in Singapore. An average branded dishwasher costs around SGD 1,000 (approximately USD 750). Along with the cost of the dishwasher, the consumer also has to bear the installation and maintenance costs. In addition, the use of dishwashers is rare in Singapore due to the tradition of handwashing and the common misconception that dishwashers are a waste of money. These may factors hinder the growth of the Singapore Dishwasher Market.
