Consumer appliances in 2024: The big picture
Overall, consumer appliances in Romania performed better in 2024, due to rising consumer disposable income and falling inflation. Nevertheless, major appliances witnessed slight decline in retail volume terms, reflecting the reluctance of Romanians to make large investments in times of economic uncertainty.
2024 key trends
Consumer appliances is becoming increasingly polarised, with consumers turning to both premium and economy products. Whilst most consumers are attracted by new technologies and energy efficiency, many remained price-sensitive and were drawn to cheaper products.
Competitive landscape
Competition in consumer appliances continued to intensify with well-established brands securing a dominant position. Aggressive marketing remained an important tool although companies faced some challenges.
Retailing developments
With 2023 being a year of business rationalisation where some retailers upgraded stores, relocated and even closed outlets, retail chains resumed their expansion plans in 2024. Leading retailer Altex opened six new stores in the first half of 2024 including a large-retail store which enabled consumers to test products on its site.
What next for consumer appliances?
Romanian consumers will largely remain tech savvy and should welcome innovation when it comes to consumer appliances. Buyers will be more educated and aware of new product developments, with many researching appliances thoroughly before making a purchase.
