Sustainability and multi-functionality aid market growth
The consumer appliances market in Austria demonstrated slow volume sales growth in 2025. Recorded growth was driven by consumer demand for energy-efficient and sustainable products as well as multifunctionality and convenience features, despite challenges posed by a weak real estate market and low construction activity. Consumer expenditure on durable goods grew 4% in 2025, supporting consumer spending on appliances. With a growing emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency, brands that prioritise these aspects are likely to gain a competitive advantage. The market is expected to continue growing at a flat volume CAGR of 1% over the next five years, continuing to be supported by increasing demand for sustainable products and government subsidies.
