The COVID-19 pandemic boosted dishwashing sales in 2020, as many nations entered strict lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus. Demand was driven by more frequent home cooking and remote working, while changes in consumer purchasing behaviour boosted the e-commerce channel in many markets. In the forecast period, buoyant sales are expected to be driven by remote working becoming more permanent, while rising dishwasher penetration is set to inject value into the market.

Economic stagnation hampered the region’s growth in 2017. As the economy recovers, increasing disposable incomes is expected to improve sales. Furthermore, an increasing number of women are joining the workforce in developing countries, and time-deficient families purchase dishwashers to add convenience and reduce effort. Modern appliances such as dishwashers are also viewed as enhancing status in developing countries.
Liquid products are the most preferred, and there is a shift even in rural areas. Liquid format products in certain countries such as Nigeria are available at much lower prices. Bar detergents are preferred in most countries when disposable incomes are low. On the other hand, in Israel, gel is gaining popularity as manufacturers focus on increasing consumption.
Hand dishwashing leads value sales in all major countries apart from Israel. Automatic dishwashers are considered expensive by the majority of households. However, changes in economic and demographic situations in certain countries encourage dishwasher purchases.
