Analyst Opinion

The small appliances market, which includes products such as vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, and small kitchen appliances, amongst others, witnessed revenue growth of 10.5% in 2020 and 9.9% in 2021 respectively, when most other markets witnessed a decline, owing to the rising sales of products such as vacuum cleaners amid the pandemic, in many countries. For instance, according to Statista’ Global Consumer Survey, vacuum cleaner ownership in Nigeria rose to 14% as of early 2022, compared to just 6% in 2019. Much of the growth in this market is being driven by emerging economies, amid rising income levels, changing lifestyle, and growing urbanisation.

The introduction of new appliances with new features and technologies is expected to drive market growth further. For instance, LG has launched a new microwave oven with a charcoal lighting feature, which uses considerably less oil and makes it appealing to health-conscious consumers.
