LAUNDRY FOLDING ROBOTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global laundry folding robots market size was USD 5.41 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 23.27 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 17.6% during the forecasting period. Asia-Pacific is dominating the laundry folding robots market share in 2025.

Laundry folding robots are machines that fold clothes. They are important because they save time and energy. These robots are mostly called laundroid. Laundroid, which resembles a mirrored PAX wardrobe more than a robot from a science fiction film, includes a deep bottom drawer where you can easily place your clean clothing.

 The commercial segment is anticipated to increase significantly over the course of the forecast period as a result of rising demand from a variety of industries, including the textile and hospitality sectors, hospitals, hotels, and restaurants. Robots that can fold numerous items of laundry at once with high efficiency and while saving time and energy are frequently utilised in commercial settings. In addition, half-automatic laundry folding robots are also gaining popularity in the commercial sector as they have fewer moving parts which increases their lifespan and reduces maintenance cost significantly over the long term. Laundry folding and sorting are performed by the semi-automatic robots. With the assistance of arms, these devices' mechanical systems move garments from one position to another. These systems can be manually managed by an adult or computerised to function automatically. The product comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colours, so there are numerous options accessible depending on what the buyer needs.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Temporary Shut Dow of Industry due to Government Regulations to Hinder Market Growth

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the manufacturing sector, and manufacturers of laundry folding robots market are not an exception. Many have seen significant disruptions in their manufacturing and supply chains, and many of their customers are also experiencing problems with their operations. The crisis has put tremendous strain on global supply systems, which has made it more challenging to source supplies. Due to continuous lockdown and government restrictions the manufacturing plant was shut down for a long time which severely affected the market’s performance and sale. To lessen the likelihood that future calamities would interrupt supply chains, manufacturers had to emphasise creating resilient ones. Additionally, manufacturers boosted their investment in IT infrastructure and automation technology to sustain production levels while lowering danger to their workers. This might help companies who make such devices.

LATEST TRENDS

Automation of Robots to Enhance Market Performance

Laundry job is automated with fully robotic laundry folding robots. These devices are capable of automatically detecting and folding clothing. The completely automatic sector is anticipated to expand over the course of the projection period due to an increase in small household usage as well as widespread large-scale commercial laundry use.
