2024 年美國 Coin-Op 經銷商調查中接受調查的大多數企業表示，與上一年相比，他們 2023 年的總銷售額有所增長

2024 年美國Coin-Op 經銷商調查中接受調查的大多數企業報告稱，與上一年相比，他們2023 年的總銷售額有所增長，這對自助洗衣行業來說是一個正面的訊號。

參與年度調查的經銷商中有 60% 表示，他們 2023 年的總業務銷售額（包括新建自助洗衣店和替換業務的銷售額）比 2022 年更高。這比前一年增長了三個百分點。

15% 的受訪者表示 2023 年的總銷售額低於 2022 年，25% 的受訪者表示業務與上一年相同或相似。

至於經銷商對 2024 年整體銷售額與 2023 年相比的預期，大約 47% 的受訪者預測今年會出現更好的情況。

Distributors listed in the previous edition of the American Coin-Op Distributors Directory were invited to participate in this year’s unscientific survey, which charts 2023 business and makes comparisons to previous years. In this summary report, percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

In Part 1, we examined year-over-year sales, replacement business and new-store construction. Let’s continue:

EQUIPMENT MIX

Are you curious about what types of equipment distributors are installing in new stores across the country? Based on this year’s survey results, American Coin-Op offers the following analysis.

Top Loaders — Nearly 38% of new stores in 2023 had at least one top loader. Shares in past surveys were 39% in 2022, 30% in 2021, 32% in 2020, 33.3% in 2019, and 41% in 2018.

Self-service laundries newly built in 2023 have an average of 2.6 top loaders, compared to averages of 2.5 per new store in 2022, 5.7 per new store in 2021, 2.4 in 2020, 1.9 in 2019, and 3.1 in 2018. (These figures factor in new stores with no top loaders.)

Front Loaders — When it comes to front loaders, vended laundries that were newly built in 2023 have an average of 26.1 machines. This compares to prior front-loader averages of 29.4 in 2022, 27.3 in 2021, 28.5 in 2020, 30.3 in 2019, and 26.5 in 2018.

Among the new stores built last year, 29.4% installed fewer than 20 front loaders and 70.6% installed 20 or more.

Dryer Pockets — Vended laundries that were newly constructed in 2023 have an average of 31.5 dryer pockets. This compares to an average of 32.6 pockets in 2022, 29.5 in 2021, 33.5 in 2020, 34.4 in 2019, and 27.8 in 2018.

Fewer than 20 dryer pockets were installed in 6.7% of new stores built in 2022. The share of newly built stores installing 20 or more pockets was 93.3%.

SURVEYING STORE SIZE

How do you think the new stores built in 2023 compare to earlier builds?

Stores averaging 2,000 square feet or less that were constructed last year account for 20% of the total, while 46.7% average between 2,001 and 3,000 square feet.

These figures compare to the 15.4% of stores measuring 2,000 square feet or less and the 46.2% covering between 2,001 and 3,000 square feet reported for 2022.

The largest newly constructed vended laundry built in 2023, according to the survey results, covers 9,000 square feet, while the smallest measures just 800 square feet.

For 2023, the average newly constructed vended laundry store covers 2,867 square feet, which is nearly 200 square feet smaller
