LATEST TRENDS


Rising Adoption of Smart Home Technology


Consumer preference is shifting toward innovative multi-utility and energy-efficient products, surging the region's demand for smart and multi-functional home appliances. The demand for multi-feature appliances is growing owing to the increasing number of single-person/nuclear households, rising urbanization, and increasing consumer preference for saving cost and space. The growth of household appliances is increasing owing to the growing popularity, awareness, and energy-conserving appliances in the region. Smart home technology is one of the significant trends in this region. Manufacturers are introducing more connected home appliances, which offer customized functionalities for consumers' needs and preferences with smartphone apps and voice assistants with convenient control from anywhere in the home.


Manufacturers in South America are focusing on launching new products to garner more consumer base and to hold a strong foothold in the region. For instance:



  • In August 2022, Samsung launched two models, 315L Porta Flex and 328L Duplex Inverse, of its Bespoke refrigerators in Brazil with customizable features and colors by consumers according to their tastes and preference.

  • In August 2021, Toshiba launched its Lifestyle home appliance with a Greatwaves washing machine, SmartPlate microwave, and French Door Convert Zone refrigerator in Brazil.


DRIVING FACTORS


Growing Consumption of Frozen Food Products to Support Market Expansion  


The significant growth in the middle-class population is driving the market growth of household appliances in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and other parts of South America. According to World Bank, household consumption in Brazil was USD 906.06 billion, in Argentina was USD 247.27 billion, and in Colombia was USD 189.69 billion in 2020.



  • Rising consumer demand for newer kinds of home appliances mainly drives the consumption rate of the refrigerator in South America. The surging sales of residential units in South American countries are crucial for market enlargement. This can be attributed to consumers usually spending more on kitchen appliances for their new homes. For instance, the data released by the Global Property Guide mentions that Sao Paulo State in Brazil sold 4,341 new residential units in July 2020.


Moreover, continual governmental efforts to boost the FDI inflows and the economy will help the market sustain in the region.

Supply Chain Disruptions and Energy Consumption May Hamper the Market Growth 


The rapid spread of COVID-19 pandemic has disturbed the South America refrigerator market growth, owing to the haul in the logistics system and fluctuation in the distribution network across the world. Moreover, labor shortages and shutdowns of retail stores also declined the sales volume of the entire market during the pandemic.


Higher electricity cost due to the usage of refrigerators is restraining the market growth. Additionally, the higher cost of technologically advanced washing machines will likely limit their demand among the middle & lower-income groups of the population. Higher repair & maintenance cost of such items is expected to limit their demand among South American consumers.
