Ironing boards are a safe and risk-free technique to iron garments so that bedsheets or other items are not burned as a result of carelessness. With the modernization of every family, particularly in emerging countries, the market for ironing boards has exploded. Customers appear to be looking for more comfort and convenience in a compact size, therefore improvements to improve size form and durability appear to be highly significant. While millennials are known for tossing out traditional household items, ironing boards are still commonplace in most homes.

Ironing boards are being offered in novel ways by market players. The warranty duration or durability of an ironing board is extremely important because it is one of the most important factors that every consumer considers, and it is expected to grow in importance in the coming years.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- Not only was the ironing business harmed by the COVID-19 outbreak, but so were the ironing boards. Due to consumers' strong adherence to stay-at-home orders during the crisis, the market is experiencing low demand, resulting in a supply-demand gap.
- Due to the relaxation of lockdown to some level and people's return to outside routines, demand for ironing boards may rise up in the second part of the years.
- The hotel, laundries, and other commercial sectors have taken a hit as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as people avoiding going outside and work from home opportunities, resulting in a temporary decrease in demand. However, according to the analysis, this is a temporary crisis as the product tends towards essential modern equipment categories.
Top Impacting Factors
The sales of ironing boxes are the primary drivers of this market. Household users and business users, such as laundries, apparel manufacturers, hotels, and others, both contribute to the growing demand for ironing boards.
The key driver of ironing board sales is the desire for a safe way to iron clothes without taking too many risks. Although the major customer base or market is still developed countries, as people spend in their homes, comfort, and safety, and because houses are primarily made of wood, there is a greater risk of fire, and ironing boards are ideal items to avoid such problems.
The availability of alternatives in every home, such as beds, kitchen counter tops, ironing covers, and so on, may stymie ironing board sales. Apart from the fact that the major driver for ironing board sales is the sale of iron boxes, the alternatives on the market, such as clothing steamers, may cause disruptions in ironing board sales.
Furthermore, ironing boards must be properly maintained because they can break if excessive power is applied. Furthermore, ironing boards are fairly costly, which may have a negative impact on sales throughout the predicted period.
