Straits Research published a report, “Liquid Laundry Detergents Market Size & Outlook, 2025-2033”. According to the study, the market size is valued at USD 38.75 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to USD 64.84 billion by 2033, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.01%
The global liquid laundry detergents market is propelled by urbanization, increased household spending, and rising disposable incomes, which boost demand for premium and convenient laundry solutions. Opportunities lie in product innovation, including high-performance and concentrated detergents, as well as targeted formulations for commercial and industrial use. Moreover, strategic partnerships, regional expansions, and marketing initiatives provide growth avenues. The market also benefits from consumer preference for multi-functional detergents that combine cleaning, fabric care, and fragrance, enhancing overall user experience.
The market growth faces a notable challenge from the strong competition posed by substitutes such as powder detergents and detergent pods. Powder detergents remain popular in many developing regions due to their lower cost and wider availability, making them a preferred choice for price-sensitive consumers. Meanwhile, detergent pods are gaining traction in mature markets because of their pre-measured convenience and ease of use.
In September 2025, Tide introduced a new formula featuring innovative soil-release polymer technology, enhancing stain removal and maintaining whiteness, especially on synthetic fabrics. This upgrade marks the most significant change to Tide's liquid detergent in 20 years.
