As consumers increasingly prioritize health and hygiene, the bedding cleaning products market is booming. In particular, cleaning appliances with mite and sterilization functions, such as mattress mite removers and sterilization sprayers, have become popular on cross-border e-commerce platforms. However, the frequent returns of these personal and sensitive products pose new operational challenges for sellers.
Demand for bedding cleaning appliances is rising in the United States, but return rates are a concern.
The US home cleaning market continues to grow. Market research firms indicate that the US commercial cleaning products market will reach approximately $33.2 billion in 2024, with a projected CAGR of nearly 7.9% from 2025 to 2030. Cleaning appliances specifically designed for home use, such as vacuum cleaners, mite removers, and sterilization devices, are also a key component of this growth trend.
The global cleaning appliance market is also expanding rapidly, with sales projected to grow from $1.96 billion in 2024 to over $3.76 billion in 2033, a CAGR of 7.1%. Clearly, demand for bedding cleaning appliances is growing strongly.
However, the return rate for online purchases remains high. Statistics show that the average return rate for online purchases in the United States has reached 16.9%, nearly double the 8%-10% return rate for brick-and-mortar stores. Bed cleaning appliances are technically sensitive and require high packaging requirements. If they experience issues like damage, missing parts, or malfunction, returns are frequent.
Why is processing returns for bed cleaning appliances so challenging?
Technical function evaluation is complex: Verifying the proper function of a mite remover requires testing multiple parameters, including suction power, filtration quality, and noise.
Packaging and accessories are numerous: Devices typically come with filters, brush heads, power cords, and other accessories, which require thorough inspection before returns.
High barriers to resale after cleaning: Appliances showing signs of use are difficult to resell and require cleaning or even replacement, increasing after-sales costs.
Large size and high shipping costs: Returns to the country of origin are inefficient and costly, impacting operational integrity.
