World Major Household Appliances

SUMMARY

Global demand to exceed 420 million units by 2011

World demand for major household appliances (white goods) is projected to increase more than two percent annually through 2011, exceeding 400 million units. Demand in the Asia/Pacific region, in particular China, will continue to benefit from above-average urban population growth and healthy gains in the number of households. Above-average growth will occur in the Africa/Mideast and Latin America region due to strong gains in the number of households and rising per capita incomes.

Microwaves, dishwashers to post fastest gains

Microwave ovens will post the best gains of any product group through 2011 due to significant untapped market potential in numerous countries, especially in the developing regions. Dishwashers will exhibit above-average growth as well, although price, size and cultural considerations will prevent these items from becoming commonplace in most areas where they are not already established. Refrigerators, freezers and conventional ranges will experience gains, benefitting from rising personal income levels in developing nations.
