Body Dryer Market Trends:

Rising Disposable Income

Increasing disposable income has a significant impact on consumer behavior. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reports that personal income in December increased by $60.0 Billion which is a 0.3% increase monthly. Additionally, the disposable personal income reflected a $51.8 Billion increase with a 0.3% increase. Personal outlays increased by $134.7 Billion, or 0.7% while consumer expenditure grew by 0.7%, or $133.9 Billion. Moreover, individuals have greater financial freedom to indulge in items that improve comfort and convenience, like body dryers, as disposable income per capita increases. In developed nations where economic stability permits greater discretionary expenditure, this tendency is influencing market growth. Along with this, body dryers are seen as a luxury piece as customers are willing to spend money on long-lasting, higher-quality products that stimulate more comfort and an improved personal care experience. Hence, the growing capacity of consumers to spend money on luxuries that raise their level of life is increasing the body dryer market value across the globe.

Growing Geriatric Population

The aging population is driving the body dryer market growth. People typically experience difficulties as they become older, such as less mobility and more sensitive skin, which makes drying off after a bath challenging but essential for keeping skin healthy. According to United Nations (UN) estimates, the number of people 65 and older worldwide will increase more than double from 761 million in 2021 to 1.6 Billion by 2050. There is an increasing need for creative solutions that address the unique demands of the world's aging population. Additionally, body dryers offer a comfortable, safe, and hygienic option that prevents skin abrasions by eliminating the harshness of traditional towels and decreasing physical exertion. As the members of this demographic have more money overall, the adoption of convenience-focused products like body dryers is further encouraged by their purchasing power, which supports the market globally.

Rising Healthcare Expenditure

The rising cost of healthcare reflects a larger movement toward better health and wellness standards, which include personal hygiene habits. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), National Health Expenditure (NHE) increased by 4.1% to $4.5 Trillion in 2022, or $13,493 per person, or 17.3% of gross domestic product (GDP). Spending on Medicare increased by 5.9% to $944.3 Billion, representing 21% of the total NHE. Besides this, the increased spending on healthcare indicates a greater focus on preventing health issues, where hygiene is essential. Along with this, body dryers contribute to this by offering a method of drying that is likely to reduce the risk of skin infections and irritation associated with moisture, making them particularly appealing in healthcare settings such as hospitals and geriatric care facilities, thus positively generating a body dryer market revenue.

Wall-mounted units are a popular choice for home and business settings due to their convenient design and space-saving nature. Also, wall-mounted body dryers appeal to customers searching for contemporary and useful bathroom fixtures since they provide effective drying solutions without taking up floor space. Additionally, the increased popularity of body dryers can be attributed to technological developments that improve user comfort and drying efficiency, reflecting a trend toward more creative and compact bathroom products on the market. For instance, the Valiryo 85 matte black wall-mounted automated full-body dryer has state-of-the-art technology that was developed only by the Valiryo Technologies team. It stands out from the competition with its unique S-shaped construction and silver ion antibacterial coating and provides a complete and hygienic drying experience from head to toe. The performance of the dryer is increased by a strong electric motor located in the top casing, which distributes airflow evenly through 27 diffusers.

Breakup by Distribution Channel:

• Offline

Offline holds the largest share of the industry

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the distribution channel have also been provided in the report. This includes offline and online. According to the report, offline accounted for the largest market share.

According to the body dryer market scope, offline channels are dominating due to the growing popularity of retail establishments, specialized shops, and supermarkets where customers can see and buy body dryers.

Similarly, stores between 5,000-10,000 sq ft and 10,000-15,000 sq ft also increased, going from 9% to 11% and 9% to 13%, respectively.

Wayne Jacks, VP of Operations for North America, stated that installing a dryer at Luna Park Coney Island presented unique challenges due to its extensive 3-acre location along the beach boardwalk. The layout posed issues with guest flow. In collaboration with the park's management, we devised a strategy that enables both park visitors enjoying the new Leti’s Treasure super splash and casual boardwalk strollers to access the drying service. This innovative approach to crowd management has enhanced the visitor experience and also opened additional revenue avenues for the park.
