Description

The U.S. laundry detergent market size is expected to reach USD 57.65 Billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “U.S. Laundry Detergent Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Product (Powder, Liquid), By Content, By Application – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Laundry detergent is a cleaning agent designed specifically to remove dirt, stains, and odors from clothing and fabrics during the washing process. It typically contains surfactants, enzymes, and other ingredients that break down grease and grime.

Heightened health consciousness, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, has amplified the importance of laundry detergents with antibacterial and sanitizing properties. Consumers want products that effectively eliminate germs and viruses from their clothes. This has led to increased demand for detergents with disinfectant additives or improved cleaning power. Brands are responding by highlighting germ-killing benefits in their marketing campaigns, which resonates strongly with American households prioritizing hygiene.

U.S. consumers increasingly favor multi-functional laundry detergents that combine cleaning, stain removal, fabric softening, and freshening in a single product. This demand for convenience and efficiency pushes brands to innovate with formulas that deliver multiple benefits without requiring separate products. Multi-functional detergents appeal to busy families and environmentally conscious buyers who prefer to minimize the number of household products they use. This trend drives continuous product development and expands market opportunities.

U.S. Laundry Detergent Market Report Highlights

The liquid detergent segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period, driven by its user-friendly format, quick dissolving capability, and high effectiveness in stain removal.

The PVOH/PVA-free segment is anticipated to capture a notable market share, supported by growing consumer awareness about the health and environmental risks linked to microplastics and synthetic polymers.

The household segment accounted for 52.16% of the total revenue in 2024, largely due to the frequent washing habits and the extensive use of washing machines and dryers in U.S. households.

The industrial segment held a significant revenue share in 2024, fueled by rising demand from hotels, hospitals, laundromats, senior care facilities, and commercial cleaning services, all requiring high-efficiency, large-volume detergent solutions.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
