Dishwashing Detergents Market Trends



  • Rapid urbanization across the globe is driving the market growth


Global Market CAGR for dishwashing detergents is driven by the rising number of consumers adapting to new cleaning habits, which raises their expectations for the firm to offer more creative goods. The hectic work schedules prompt us to discover new methods to save time. Companies are spending in R&D to create a developed product that will save time and have a higher health standard. The growth of the dish detergent sector is fueling innovation, which is expected to drive the dishwashing detergents market revenue.


Furthermore, promotional campaigns and distribution activities undertaken for free sample distribution to the customers have broadened the growth opportunities of the dishwashing detergent market. For instance, in March 2019, Reckitt Benckiser's dishwashing detergent brand, Finish, partnered with Bosch Household Appliances to launch the #NoMoreDishStress campaign to educate customers about dishwashers and the hygiene practices that need to be adopted. The campaign was adopted during the launch of auto-dishwasher detergent tablets to relieve dishwashing-related stress.


Moreover, vast usage in cleaning kitchen utensils and accessories in commercial kitchens, including restaurants, café, bars, and other food services, has surged the demand for dishwashing detergents. These detergents are generally required in bulk to clean multiple utensils in commercial kitchens. For instance, according to a research report by UK-based Checkit, a food safety management company, around 75 percent of the people out of 1,101 survey respondents who never wish to visit a restaurant are implicated with hygiene and food poisoning incidents. Also, 66 percent of respondents said that bad hygiene practices adopted in restaurants never allowed them to visit twice.


Moreover, the rising consumer inclination toward chemical-free and organic products is influencing key brands to launch herbal or natural dishwashing liquids free from harmful chemicals like phosphates and carbonates. Manufacturers are focused on formulating dermatologically tested dishwashing liquids to protect against skin irritation & allergies which sets them apart from other alternatives. For instance, in December 2019, Evonik signed a partnership with biotechnology company Unilever, has launched a 100% renewable and 100% biodegradable ingredient called Rhamnolipid, a type of surfactant found in nature that works in cleaning surfaces. The outcome product 'Quix dishwashing liquid' gives the same foaming and dirt removal qualities by naturally occurring process as the petrochemical-based products.
