The "coin laundry" that has come to be seen in the city has a feeling that it has become a target for investment.It is natural that such coin laundry is in the large city area, but where is the population with a population? Let's look at the store opening strategy.

The declining population is still increasing by single -person households

When you walk around the city, you may suddenly notice the change, but have you ever had a coin laundry in such a place? In a long time ago, the coin laundry was a standard that was next to the public bath. Recently, public baths have been seen less, but the coin laundry is the opposite. In the old days, there were more people who did not have a washing machine at home, but recently, even if there is a washing machine at home, more and more people are using coin laundry. Why is coin laundry increasing, despite being able to wash at home? According to the National Institute of Social Security and Population issue, "Future Estimation of Japan's Households (National Estimated)" (2018 estimates), the single -family household in 1990 was 9.39 million, but in 2000, 10 years later. It increased by nearly 180 % to 1,2911,000 households, and in 2010, 10 years later, to 16,785,000 households. It also predicted that it would increase to 1,9,342,000 households in 2020 and 2,0254,000 in 2030. The population of Japan has peaked in 2008, peaking at 128.08 million, but the number of single -person households will increase until 2030. In the first place, the main layers of coin laundry customers are single. There is a washing machine at home, but the coin laundry that does everything from washing to drying is convenient.

Increase in dual -income couples ... "Coin laundry" reduces housework

In addition to the increase in single -person households, the form of the family has changed, which is the factor in the increase in coin laundry. The hint is the fact that even housewives use coin laundry. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' Labor Survey Special Survey, and Labor Survey, in 1980, full -time housewife households exceeded 11 million households and over 6 million households. The number was first reversed in 1992. After that, several years have been balanced, but in the 2000s, the difference gradually increased. In 2020, a full -time housewife household was 5.71 million households, and the dual -working household was 12.4 million households, and the position was just replaced (see Chart). In the busy and busy daily work, laundry is postponed. There are many cases where you can clean up at once on a holiday. What if you think that you'll have to turn the washing machine twice or three times, not just by turning the washing machine for one week, just one week's laundry. The time has passed while washing, and the long break is ruined. What attracts attention is a large amount of washing in coin laundry, which is not fulfilled by home washing machines. It was once required to wash multiple times, and the work of hanging on the hanger was gone, and the housework burden was greatly reduced. Coin laundry is a strong ally for couples.
