A kitchen towel is a multi-functional product which is employed for a wide range of purposes, such as drying hands, keeping the kitchen spotless, and cleaning dishes, knives, cutting boards and other kitchen items. It is mainly manufactured by utilizing cotton that helps in drawing out and absorbing moisture through direct contact and withstanding repeated usage and washing. Besides this, it is also used for holding hot utensils while serving, including plates, bowls, and dishes. They are currently available in a wide variety, aligning with the taste and preferences of consumers.
With rapid urbanization, inflating per capita incomes and the improving standards of living, consumers around the world are spending on home care products, such as kitchen towels, which is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, manufacturers have launched a massive range of hand-knitted and crochet towels to expand their existing product portfolio. They are also utilizing advanced technologies, including Through Air Dried (TAD), to produce kitchen towels that are softer and more absorbent. These towels are mainly manufactured using the conventional Light Dry Crepe (LDC) technology.
