INSIGHT INTO DRY CLEANER OWNERS TO HELP PROPEL YOUR BUSINESS.

Back at the start of the pandemic, nearly every conversation I had with someone in the industry revolved around the same two questions:

“What’s going to happen to dry cleaning?” and “What are other dry cleaners seeing and doing in their businesses?”

To be honest, there weren’t many clear answers. And that got me thinking—why didn’t the dry cleaning industry have access to the kind of solid market research that other industries take for granted? Think about it. Restaurants, bars, retail… they all have access to fantastic data. But dry cleaning? Not so much.

That’s why I’m excited to share with you our latest study, the 2025 State of the Dry Cleaning Industry Report, conducted with 894 dry cleaner owners from across the U.S. The study is conducted by an independent research firm and offers deep insights into the industry. From shifting sales trends to pricing data and the growing popularity of wet cleaning, this report gives you a clear picture of where the industry stands and where it’s headed next.

Our hope is simple: that there’s something in these reports that helps your business grow. If it sparks an idea or offers a useful takeaway, we’ll consider it a success.

We’re thrilled to share these insights with you and hope you find them valuable!
