India Dishwashing Detergent Market Fueled by IoT Demand

Market Overview
According to TechSci Research’s latest report titled “India Dishwashing Detergent Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, the India Dishwashing Detergent Market was valued at USD 736.69 million in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 1114.80 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.15% during the forecast period.
The dishwashing detergent segment in India has transformed significantly, evolving from traditional bar usage to modern, liquid- and gel-based formats that offer enhanced convenience, efficiency, and hygiene. This growth is underpinned by factors such as urbanization, increased disposable income, nuclear family structures, and rising health awareness—particularly in the post-COVID era.
As the Indian kitchen becomes increasingly modern and time-constrained, the demand for quick, effective, and skin-friendly dishwashing solutions has grown substantially.
