Market Definition                             

The dishwasher is a type of machine intended to clean dishware and cutlery. A mixture of detergent and water is pumped to rotate spray arms and clean dishes with the cleaning mixture. They are essential for cleaning dirty crockery, and they also aid in saving water and time, especially for working women. A commercial dishwasher is much bigger than the usual dishwasher and has an increased capacity for cleaning dishes. They are generally equipped to fulfil the requirement of cleaning multiple dishes in less time.

Undercounter: Undercounter dishwashers are the best choice for bars, coffee shops, or smaller restaurants that don't have much space to give a dishwasher.

Glasswashers: Glasses are more fragile than other types of dishes, and therefore glasswashers offer high temperatures and lower water pressure, with which the most delicate glass tableware gets sparkling clean, rapidly, and flawlessly.

Door or Hood type: Door-type commercial dishwashers have a large door on their front that you can leave open until you've filled a rack, slide it into the machine, close the door, and retrieve clean dishes a few moments later. They are designed to be fast and efficient and ideal dishwashers for busy kitchens.

Rack/Conveyer: Conveyor type dishwashers offer the highest capacity of any dishwasher type on this list. They also take up the most space, so a buyer cannot cram one into a commercial kitchen that's already tight on space.

Italy Commercial Dishwashers Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• Expansion of food-service industry in emerging countries

Retort takes place when non-sterile products are hermetically sealed, which means non-sterile packaging. The packaging is loaded into a retort pressure vessel and subjected to pressurized steam. The product is also exposed to high temperatures for a much longer period than hot-filling. The additional time can significantly deteriorate the product's overall quality and nutritional content.

The increasing demand among consumers across the globe for preservative-free products is a key driver for the Italy commercial dishwasher market. As consumers are getting more concerned about the harmful effects of preservatives in their beverages, the demand for preservative-free products is at its peak.

• Increasing influence of the western lifestyle

During the last three decades, there have been great developments in technological advancements and the adoption of a western lifestyle. Smart appliances are expected to witness further improvement and are creating a demand for automation systems. In the last five years, the adoption rate of smart cities has witnessed a massive increase, as governments have taken major steps and invested well in transforming communities into smart cities to influence people to live a better lifestyle. Further, smart home appliance manufacturers have developed innovative and connected smart devices. These devices with in-built sensors and innovative Artificial Technology (AI) technologies help users manage their time efficiently and offer self-monitoring for minimizing energy consumption.

In addition, eating out culture is the main reason behind the development of chain restaurants serving fast foods, which has boosted the demand for commercial dishwashers.

People's rising adoption of western culture is a driver for the adoption of dishwashers in commercial food chain outlets and restaurants. In addition, the creative marketing strategies by the food brands, with more emphasis on the menu, are also attracting customers to eat out. The use of television, online, and print also acts as a smarter tool to attract more customers. The transformation of cuisines from simple and traditional food to a menu that offers diversity in taste, style, and origin is also the reason for the changing food culture in counties. All these factors together are helping in giving a boost to the Italy commercial dishwasher market.

• Surge in awareness regarding health & hygiene

Most kitchens for community catering, such as restaurants, canteens, nursing homes, kindergartens, and hospitals, or caterers use commercial dishwashers. Each consumer is entitled to have hygienically clean dishes and cutlery. Dishwashing is one important means to prevent the spread of potentially pathogenic microorganisms present on dishes and cutlery and break the infection chain. This is especially important considering the changing general conditions, such as the increasing number of vulnerable people and the appearance of more antibiotic resistances or new infections and strains, such as the currently rampant coronavirus 2019.

Restraints/Opportunities

• High cost of commercial dishwasher

For most business owners, affordability is a significant factor in the purchase decision of any machine. Business owners are often tempted to focus too heavily on price and neglect critical factors such as size and capacity.

Most small businesses only need the wash capacity of an under-counter dishwasher. In contrast, a bar, hotel, or busy restaurant is likely to require the heavy-hitting degree of an upright/conveyor dishwasher. However, buying commercial dishwashers for everyone is not easy as they cost very high, and the same is with their periodic maintenance. This is greatly obstructing the customers from buying commercial dishwashers for their facility, which is hampering the demand in the market.

One major factor that makes them costly is the components used in them. To ensure the quality of the product, the best quality materials are chosen, which are mainly imported, to enhance the machine's durability and long service life. In addition, customization of dishwashers according to the facility's requirements and space also affects the cost of dishwashers, especially in commercial use. Another factor that makes commercial dishwashers costly is that most commercial unit’s heat water to 180 degrees which consumes a lot of energy. Moreover, high-capacity commercial dishwashers may lead to more breakage of glass utensils – which is another overhead to consider.

• High energy consumption

The cost of owning a commercial dishwasher goes beyond simply the price of the machine itself. How the machine consumes water, energy and chemicals can all have a profound effect on the cost of ownership over the machine's lifespan.

With increasing energy costs, it costs a lot for the operator to use a dishwasher throughout the day. It consumes a lot of energy, especially in the water heating process. Dishwasher machines use energy to heat the water for the wash tank and a booster tank to ensure the final rinse water doesn't fall below 180º F to ensure proper sanitization. Dishwashers run on electricity, and a single dishwasher unit uses somewhere around 1.5 kWh on average to run a load of dishes, apart from the cost of the incoming water. That works out to a cost of about USD 0.17 or so of water in average Italy home. Most dishwashers use an average of 1,800 watts, and water rates depend on the local area, the time of year, and even the time of day. A dishwasher's base electricity usage is pretty cheap; for a 1,800-watt model and an hour-long load, it uses approximately 1.8 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity.

• Growing preference for kitchen appliances coupled with a consumer shift towards smart technology

Increasing adoption of innovative and technologically advanced products, coupled with growing awareness regarding eco-friendly and energy-efficient appliances among buyers, are some of the major opportunities for the market. Changing lifestyle patterns, increasing investment in R&D activities to innovate energy-efficient products, and product innovations in terms of technology, performance, features, and design are also expected to bolster the market's growth.

Manufacturers are also focusing on continuous technological innovations in the field of electronics kitchen appliances to add more value to their products and enhance their functionality, enabling them to enhance users' convenience. Over the past few years, manufacturers have been investing in product development to provide additional benefits to consumers. They have integrated sensors and features to products that can be connected to smartphones to monitor the detergent level and receive alerts about the wash cycles. Additionally, manufacturers are introducing localized products based on consumers' needs in-country.

Challenge

• High cost of maintenance and overall operation of dishwashers

Commercial dishwashers are an important piece of equipment in a food service establishment since they save time and ensure your dishes are all clean and sanitized. One can discover restaurant dishwashers for restaurants in various sizes and styles to meet the unique needs of your business. For instance, high-temperature dishwashers utilize warm water to sanitize dishes, yet they require a condensate hood. Low temp models, then again, use chemical sanitizing agents to clean dishes, so they are simpler to introduce. However, the chemicals must be supplanted routinely.

Dishwashers are expensive kitchen appliances. Several factors play into the cost of a new dishwasher. Dishwasher prices are mainly affected by capacity and special features but can also be influenced by certain dishwasher finishes, such as stainless steel. Dishwashers with basic functions are not too expensive. However, the price will be higher if consumers want all the latest upgrades such as intense steam cleaning, decibel control, or smart washing technology that adjusts dependent load.
