Increasing demand for advanced consumer appliances and rising disposable income are fuelling the growth of the global garment steamer market. Growth in the domestic clothing sector may also spur sales. In addition, an increase in promotional campaigns and the rising demand for efficient appliances provide a huge opportunity for manufacturers.

Garment steamers are used for cleaning, deodorizing and sanitizing garments. They are highly portable and flexible, which enhances their demand in the global market. Several steamers are designed with temperature control, water pressure, and multi-purpose attachments. Some steamers are also custom imprinted.

In addition, steamers are suitable for almost all fabrics, including wools, silks, cottons, and other materials. However, some fabrics cannot be steamed, including suede, waxed jackets, and materials that melt.

The handheld garment steamer segment is expected to exhibit the highest growth in the next few years. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% between 2022 and 2030. This segment is also expected to expand in popularity among travelers.

Increasing household numbers and urbanization rate are also contributing to the growth of the garment steamer market. These factors are mainly attributed to the increase in the working class and growing disposable income. In addition, consumers are more likely to purchase expensive items, which is also helping the market grow.

Moreover, garment steamers are ideal for tailoring garments, as they allow wrinkles to fall out easily. This also makes them more versatile, and allows for the removal of dust and dust particles.
