The demand for cloth drying products has increased due to unpredictable weather conditions. Most people rely on them rather than the sun to dry their clothes after washing because the weather is usually gloomy, forcing them to hang their clothes inside to dry. Additionally, as products with drying products are less expensive and take up less space, consumers benefit from the movement in consumer preferences away from energy-consuming dryers. All these factors are projected to drive the growth of the cloth drying products market during the forecast period.
The cloth drying products market size is projected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the strong presence of prominent players, such as Inter IKEA Systems B.V., RACKBUDDY, and Addis Housewares Ltd., operating actively across the world. The eco-friendly products have gained significant traction among environment-conscious consumers. There has been a growing trend among consumers toward using eco-friendly products, leading to the cloth drying products market growth. This factor is projected to offer new opportunities to cloth drying product manufacturers during the forecast period.
In 2021, North America held the key share of the global cloth drying products market. However, Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific cloth drying product market is segmented into China, India, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. The laundry industry is one of the booming industries in Asia Pacific due to the construction of small housing units, brought in by rapid urbanization and the increase in demand for small, portable residential goods. Consumers in developing countries are experiencing a sharp increase in their disposable income, raising their purchasing power. Various home products, including cloth drying products, are witnessing a surge in demand. The rising disposable income levels of consumers and the growth of the middle-class population are among the key factors driving the demand for laundry products in the region. Furthermore, this region has a significant demand for eco-friendly cloth drying products.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the cloth drying products market growth was primarily driven by the rising demand for affordable and durable laundry dryers. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for cloth drying products was also driven by their flexibility, modern designs, and easy installation. However, the cloth drying products market faced negative impacts of the pandemic during the first quarter of 2020 due to business shutdown and raw material and labor shortages. The COVID-19 pandemic also led to economic recession in the initial months of 2020, which created financial difficulties for low-income and mid-income consumers. Consumers only preferred essential goods, such as groceries and medical products, due to the financial crisis. Thus, with depressed incomes, the demand for nonessential goods decreased, which reduced the profits of many small-scale and large-scale laundry dryer manufacturers.
Moreover, the retailers of nonessential goods were mandated to keep their stores shut during the first few months of the outbreak, negatively impacting the sales of cloth drying products. However, as consumers were stuck inside their homes, they spent time on housework, such as cleaning, cooking, washing clothes and sheets, and gardening. Some consumers also found washing and drying laundry in open air pleasurable as they could spend some time in the garden and open spaces, which positively impacted the sales of laundry drying products.

Line drying of clothes is quite beneficial, especially when compared to machine drying or tumble drying. Tumble dryers use excessive heat to dry out the laundry, which reduces their shine and causes wear and tear to fabrics. Some delicate fabrics get damaged due to excessive heat used by tumble dryers, and the damage caused is sometimes irreversible.
Line drying is gentle on clothes, increasing their life and providing natural shine to the fabrics. It is also helpful in preventing wrinkles and creases on clothes, eventually eliminating the need for ironing. Line dryers or drying racks are much more affordable than machine dryers. Moreover, they require less cost of maintenance than machine dryers.
The use of bleaches and harsh fabric cleaners can be avoided by line drying clothes in sunlight as the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays act as a natural bleaching agent and kill bacteria and pathogens in the fabrics. Thus, cloth drying products are increasingly being utilized due to factors mentioned above.
Based on product type, the global cloth drying products market is segmented into rotary dryer , wall-mounted dryer, and drying rack. In 2021, the drying rack segment accounted for the largest revenue share, while the wall-mounted dryer segment is expected to account for the highest growth rate over the forecast period.

Drying racks require very small space for storage, making them ideal for small apartments.
Moreover, drying racks are made of durable and sturdy materials that can hold the entire laundry load of a family. Manufacturers of drying racks offer products with contemporary designs that are suitable for modern apartments. The rising urban population and demand for compact and durable laundry drying products are the key factors driving the segment’s growth.
