Consumer appliances in 2024: The big picture
Despite an uncertain economic environment globally, demand for consumer appliances in Hong Kong remains stable and rising in 2024. Certain categories, such as dishwashers, air treatment products and refrigeration appliances, are all recording solid performances as consumers continue to invest in housing renovations and redevelopment projects post-pandemic.
2024 key trends
Post-pandemic, many manufacturers are still struggling with high production costs amid global inflation or supply chain issues. These include the price of air and ship carriers, and raw materials, processing chips and various other production-related expenses, which remain elevated and are increasing the prices of many appliances to end consumers.
Competitive landscape
International players maintain their overall positions in consumer appliances, as local consumers consider their brands high-quality, efficient options. The likes of Electrolux, Siemens, Whirlpool and LG retain strong positions in categories such as large cooking appliances and refrigeration appliances, while air treatment products is still led by Japanese players such as Hitachi, Daikin and Fujitsu due to their longstanding reputation among local consumers.
Retailing developments
Appliances and electronics specialists remains the leading distribution channel for consumer appliances in Hong Kong, with retail volume sales quickly recovering post-pandemic following the easing of restrictions. Many local consumers like to visit physical stores to see big-ticket items, in particularly, firsthand, to determine quality and discuss their requirements before making a significant investment.
What next for consumer appliances?
While the overall outlook for consumer appliances in Hong Kong is positive, retail volume growth rates are expected to continue gradually slowing over the forecast period due to previous investments made during the review period, and a shrinking population due to declining birth rates and emigration. However, the average unit price is expected to continue to rise due to higher input costs associated with consumer appliances and more sophisticated offerings, including smart appliances, which may encourage some consumers to upgrade to the latest innovations, ensuring higher value growth compared to volume growth.
