North America has emerged as the dominant regional market for garment steamers globally. The region is expected to account for 38.7% of the market share in 2024. The large size of the textile and garment industry in the U.S. and Canada has propelled steamer sales. Manufacturing hubs like New York and Los Angeles in the U.S. produce huge volumes of clothing and other textiles each year requiring extensive ironing and steaming. Busy consumer lifestyles have increased the demand for convenient garment care appliances like steamers that can help refresh wrinkled clothes quickly. Major international brands present in the region along with local manufacturers ensure the easy availability of different steamer models at varying price points across all distribution channels. Stringent quality standards maintained by regional regulatory bodies have established North America as a reliable sourcing hub for steamers worldwide.

The garment steamer market in Asia Pacific is witnessing the fastest growth and rapidly catching up with more established markets. This can be attributed to the well-developed textile manufacturing clusters and burgeoning domestic demand in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and other countries. These emerging markets have become important cogs in global apparel supply chains, producing clothes mainly for exports. However, a sizeable chunk is also consumed internally by their growing middle-income populations. Streamlined import-export norms have supported efficient cross-border movement of fabrics, yarns and finished garments within the region complementing robust infrastructure linkages. Local retailers stock multifarious steamer models targeting value and mass segments effectively meeting diverse needs. Aggressive marketing tactics by steamer original equipment manufacturers through television and digital mediums have heightened brand outreach helping Southeast Asia evolve as the future growth nucleus of the global garment steamer market.
