The market is also becoming more competitive, with new players entering the market and established companies introducing innovative products to meet the changing needs of consumers.

Manufacturers like Bosch and Electrolux began to expand their operations in the region, and local companies like Consul and Brastemp began to produce and sell dishwashers as well. Despite the increase in demand, the South American dishwasher market remained small in comparison to other regions such as Europe and North America. This was due, in part, to high import tariffs imposed by some countries, making it difficult for foreign manufacturers to compete with domestic brands.

Freestanding dishwashers currently have a market share of more than 90% because they are more affordable and widely available than other types of dishwashers such as built-in or integrated models.
