Market Introduction
The garment steamers market in Europe is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the rest of Europe. Europe is one of the significant markets for garment steamers owing to the rising middle-class population that can afford garment steamers, coupled with rapidly changing lifestyles and improving standard of living. Moreover, the rising need for eco-friendly appliances that consume less energy than traditional appliances, coupled with the high spending capability of end users drive the demand for garment steamers in Europe. The growth of the Europe garment steamers market is attributed to the growing demand for advanced home appliances and rapidly increasing population of working women. For instance, according to Eurostat, women's employment in the European Union (EU) stood at 67% in 2018, a one-percentage-point (pp) increase from the previous year. Sweden had the highest employment rate for women (80%) among the EU Member States in 2018, while Greece (49%) and Italy (53%) had the lowest rates. Thus, due to the lack of time available for performing household tasks, such as cleaning, and maintaining the garments in office and remote working models are bolstering the demand for garment steamers in the region.
In Europe, currently, the UK and Russia are the hardest-hit countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. Other European countries that have suffered serious effects of the pandemic are France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. In the initial phases of the outbreak, these countries implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partially closing their borders, which impacted the import and export activities. Gradual relaxations in lockdown restrictions in certain countries in Europe are likely to facilitate the recovery of various industries and logistics operations, which will positively impact the garment steamers market in the coming years. Along with this, the opening up of retail outlets, including supermarkets and hypermarkets, is boosting the availability of garment steamers in the region.
