Market Overview

In 1978, James Dyson became frustrated with his vacuum cleaner's diminishing performance. Taking it apart, he discovered that its bag was clogging with dust, causing suction to drop. He'd recently built an industrial cyclone tower for his factory that separated paint particles from the air using centrifugal force and wondered whether the same principle could work for a vacuum cleaner. Five years and 5,127 prototypes later, he had invented the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner.

Today, there are Dyson machines in over 75 countries around the world. Dyson is now the world's number one vacuum cleaner manufacturer in the UK, US, Japan, Europe and Australasia. Research, design and development of new technologies and products is at the heart of Dyson and the company has grown from one man and one idea to a technology company with over 1,500 engineers worldwide engaged in the development of new technologies, which have led to the development of products such as the Air MultiplierTM bladeless fans, purifiers and humidifiers and the Dyson AirbladeTM hand dryer.
