• Growing Awareness of Hygiene 

In recent years, there has been a heightened awareness of the importance of cleanliness and hygiene, driven in part by public health concerns. Individuals are now more conscious of maintaining personal hygiene practices. Hygiene-conscious consumers recognize the importance of drying towels properly to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and unpleasant odors.

Using clean and dry towels is seen as a hygiene best practice, and towel racks support this by ensuring towels remain dry and ready for use. In healthcare facilities, where infection control is a top priority, the proper drying of reusable towels on racks helps minimize the risk of contamination and infection transmission.

Many consumers have budget limitations when it comes to home improvement and bathroom accessories. Price-sensitive consumers prioritize cost-effective solutions and may be hesitant to invest in premium or high-priced towel racks, especially if they perceive them as non-essential items. Economic conditions, including recessions or financial instability, can heighten price sensitivity. During economic downturns, consumers may become more frugal and cautious with their spending, leading them to opt for lower-cost or DIY towel rack options instead of premium products.
