Hand Dryers Market Segmentation

The worldwide market for hand dryers is split based on product, operation mode, mounting technique, end-use, and geography.

Hand Dryers Market By Product

  • Jet Air
  • Hot Air

According to hand dryers industry analysis, in 2023, the jet air segments represented over 60% of the total value, and are expected to expand by around 14% over the forecast year. The increase in installation is primarily attributable to hotels, airports and restaurants, bureaus and malls. In comparison to hot air dryers, the cost of jet air is high and could hinder the demand for products in the coming years.

The volume of the hot air dryer sector in the next couple of years is estimated to be around 13% CAGR. This is due to the increased installation, especially in public toilets, schools, shopping malls and schools, because of its low cost. Consumer incomes and an increasing awareness of the benefits of these products are expected to contribute to increased adoption.

Hand Dryers Market By Operation Mode

  • Push Button Hand Dryer
  • Automatic Hand Dryer

Due to better comfort and user satisfaction offered by these products, the fully automatic segment represented the greatest hand dryers market share in 2023. Fully automatic devices do not require a human touch to operate, minimizing the social efforts that fuel this segment's growth. Due to its maximum adoption at shopping mall, office, hospital and hotels and restaurants, the segment is expected to continue in the forecast period. It is estimated that the manual push button hand dryer segment will be moderated by price-sensitive regions in the coming years.

Hand Dryers Market By Mounting Technique

  • Surface Mounted 
  • Wall Mounted

The demand for wall mounted hand dryers will increase over the forecast period by over 14% in a CAGR, because these devices will have less space. The adoption of manual dryers, particularly in compact toilets with high traffic, has been driven considerably by space occupancy concerns. In order to address this problem, the industry is witnessing an increase in the adoption of products mounted on the wall. The demand for mounted surface products, which is attributed to easy installation of these devices, is estimated to record over 12.0% of the projected period.

Hand Dryers Market By End-use

  • Airports
  • Hotel & Restaurants
  • Hospitals
  • Offices
  • Shopping Malls
  • Others

Over 27% of total revenues in 2023 were accounted by the hotel and restaurant industry, which is expected to increase over the forecast period. As the number of restaurants, bars and hotels rises as well as increasing world-wide tourism activities this can be attributed to the rapid increase in the hospitality industry. In terms of revenues, it is calculated that in the next few years the hospital sector will have a CAGR of some 11% because of increased hygiene and the cost efficiency of hand dryers. In the following years the segment will further promote growth with reductions in maintenance costs and energy conservation.

In the next hand dryers market forecast period, demand for hand-dryers in shopping malls is projected to expand by more than 14.0 percent owing to growing emphasis on decreasing operating expenses and environmental efficiency by the owners of shopping malls. Furthermore, the reduction of paper waste and public toilet cleaning, comfortable, and well-maintained initiatives in this segment will drive demand for products.
