One of the first questions any aspiring franchise owner asks is: “How much profit will I actually make?” If you’re considering entering the growing laundry and dry-cleaning market, this blog post will give you a realistic breakdown of earnings, margins, and growth potential of a laundry franchise in India
📈 The Market Opportunity
India’s laundry market is currently valued at over ₹2.5 lakh crore — and yet, more than 95% of it is unorganized. This gap is exactly where modern, tech-driven laundry franchises like REVIVO are making a mark.
Recurring demand, rising urban population, and the lack of quality services in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities make laundry a high-retention, high-volume business.
💸 What’s the Average Earning Potential?
While actual profits vary by city, model, and scale — here’s a conservative monthly profit projection for a well-run laundry franchise in India:
| Revenue Type | Estimated Amount (Monthly) |
| Total Orders (500–700) | ₹3,00,000 – ₹4,50,000 |
| Operating Expenses | ₹1,80,000 – ₹2,50,000 |
| Net Profit | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,00,000 |
These numbers assume an average order value (AOV) of ₹600 and 15–25 orders per day — which is easily achievable with local marketing, digital campaigns, and good service delivery.
🧮 What Are the Major Expenses?
Here’s where most of your costs go:
- Rent (part of fixed OPEX)
- Rider salaries / delivery charges
- Utility bills (water, electricity, detergents)
- Processing costs (either third-party or in-house)
- Marketing & branding
- CRM & tech tools
- Staff salaries (if applicable)
REVIVO helps partners optimize these through tech automation, SOPs, and shared brand-level marketing.
🏆 Profit Margins by Model Type
| Model Type | Margin Range |
| Pickup-only Model | 31% – 37% |
| Live Laundromat | 30% – 40% |

Pickup-only models have lower operational overhead but also slightly lower margins. On the other hand, live laundromats allow more control over costs and customer experience.
How REVIVO Maximises Franchise Profitability
- Low Initial Investment (₹6–15 lakhs) with fast break-even (6–12 months)
- Subscription and bulk order models to increase recurring income
- Rider + CRM automation for fewer missed orders and smoother ops
- Local society partnerships and brand tie-ups to bring in consistent flow
Our partners also benefit from ongoing founder-led support and training.
Yes, a laundry franchise in India is profitable — especially when paired with the right brand, playbook, and technology. While traditional dhobis struggle with inconsistency, brands like REVIVO offer customers reliability — and franchisees, sustainability.
If you’re ready to earn recurring income with low risk and high support, it’s time to consider the laundry franchise opportunity.
