Analyst Opinion

The major appliances market is divided into refrigerators, freezers, dishwashing machines, washing machines, cookers, air conditioners and ovens. The COVID-19 pandemic augured well for the market, with an uptick in volume sales of all products, as consumers placed greater emphasis on cleaning and hygiene. The market witnessed a bit of a slow down amid the Russia- Ukraine war, owing to supply chain disruptions, component shortages and consumers curbing their discretionary spend, but is expected to rebound over the short term.

Amongst other drivers fueling the market include the growing population and urbanisation, especially in emerging economies, technological advancements, such as smart washing machines and smart refrigerators and the growing trend towards home cooking, which augers well for products such as ovens.
