Smart appliances will connect to the home network, and users will have the ability to remotely control them via smartphone apps and voice digital assistants (e.g., Alexa or Google Home). Appliances now include regular predictive maintenance alerts, energy usage reports, and user-directed features based on user behavior. As more smart homes become widely adopted and consumers are increasingly inclined towards technology for their experience and convenience, smart appliances are rising.
•  Environmental issues and escalating energy prices are motivating manufacturers to develop appliances that require less energy and are made from sustainable materials. Governments around the world are establishing incentives and regulations to encourage the adoption of sustainably efficient products, for example, star ratings and green certifications. Sustainability already is, and will increasingly be, important to consumers, and energy-efficient appliances will not only become a mandatory requirement, but a source of differentiation for brands.
•  Urbanization has generated smaller homes and businesses, creating a need for compact but multifunctional appliances. Washer dryer combos, kitchen modulars, stacked appliances, and foldable appliances are also on the rise. These appliance designs are meant to consider small space without reducing functionality for urbanite living and young working professionals who desire functional and aesthetically pleasing appliances.
•  The growth of online shopping has changed how customers buy appliances. By utilizing virtual showrooms, augmented reality previews, and product videos, customers can do most of their shopping online without ever entering a store. Suppliers are increasingly investing in omnichannel options to provide ease in online shopping paired with in-store service and support.
