Laundry detergent is a cleaning agent designed specifically to remove dirt, stains, and odors from clothing and fabrics during the washing process. It typically contains surfactants, enzymes, and other ingredients that break down grease and grime.

The increasing adoption of washing machines across Asia Pacific, even in semi-urban and rural areas, is significantly boosting the use of laundry detergents. Countries like India, China, and Thailand are witnessing strong growth in washing machine sales due to rising income levels and improved access to electricity. This shift is encouraging consumers to use machine-friendly detergent formulations like liquids and powders, as opposed to traditional hand-wash soaps. Detergent brands are introducing specialized products for front-load and top-load machines as appliance usage grows, driving market expansion across diverse income and regional segments.
