Laundry Accessories - UK - April 2010
Achieving estimated value sales of £257 million in 2010, the market for laundry accessories is shaped by the availability of outdoor space, impacting directly on the number and type of laundry accessories people own.
The purchase of laundry accessories, such as washing lines and ironing boards, tends to be planned, most notably for larger items where people like to be able to reserve their products online and shop in a store where there is parking close by.
Achieving estimated value sales of £257 million in 2010, the market for laundry accessories is shaped by the availability of outdoor space, impacting directly on the number and type of laundry accessories people own.

People with outdoor space tend to own more items including outdoor accessories such as washing lines and associated paraphernalia such as pegs, peg bags and laundry baskets. Outdoor accessories need to innovate in product concepts that can be adapted for indoor use to appeal to people drying indoors either because of a lack of outdoor space or owing to bad weather.
