Current market landscape

Laundry as a business has existed in India since ancient times. However, the hectic schedule of every member in today’s household and the availability of more disposable income have given the opportunity for professional laundry lines to come up. Communal wash was the business model until 2010. It is only after 2010, the concept of the western Laundromat started to emerge in India. Initially, the brave pioneers who set up the self-service Laundromats in India paved the pathway for other entrepreneurs indicating that the model may not sustain in India. The failure that they experienced in the self-service model created the awareness that the staff assisted service is the best way to go ahead but also taking cognizance that people prefer the individual wash model to than communal laundry. Today, India has many startups that do individual wash. Overall this business model is growing and making its success in its own way. Simultaneously, communal laundry systems are also serving a majority of population. Digitalized India is now stepping into every aspect of life and the laundry sector is no exception. Probably India is the only country having thousands of Laundry Apps.
