U.S. Household Appliances Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Cooktop, Cooking Range, Microwave, And Oven, Mixer, Grinder, And Food Processor), By Distribution Channel, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The U.S. household appliances market size was valued at USD 52.65 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2022 to 2030. The rise in people's disposable income levels in the U.S. is expected to be a driving force in the market expansion. Rapid urbanization is projected to have a beneficial impact on the U.S. market growth.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 across the globe posed major issues in the form of supply chain disruptions for most manufacturers, including large home appliances in the United States. Limited component availability, labor shortages, and other supply chain-related issues are some of the primary challenges that most industry players are currently focused on.

Consumers were compelled to reconsider their priorities, adjust their buying patterns, and develop new habits. Consumers are increasingly buying appliances online, according to various reports, as they adopt social distancing. In the case of larger home appliances like refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, dryers, and 0thers, the pandemic has had an impact on purchasing behavior. Do-it-yourself pursuits such as decorating, cooking, sewing, and arts and crafts have gained popularity among stay-at-home moms.

The market will grow due to various growth drivers such as an increase in single-person households, a rise in disposable income, an increase in the number of smart homes, growth of the millennial population, a rise in the online sales of small household appliances, and an increase in the demand for smart sensors and energy optimization.

Various market trends such as cloud technology, rising artificial intelligence technology, accelerating adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), growing social media influence, and the introduction of innovative small household appliances will contribute to the growth of the U.S. market. For instance, in October 2020, Spring USA launched a new LoPRO induction range series, which is lightweight and designed for durability. This product features high-grade polymer housing and tempered glass on top.

Few companies penetrated the U.S. market by strengthening their supply chain. This strategy enhanced operations smoothly. The transportation of raw materials to manufacturers and the final products to the customer is expected to attract more customers. For Instance, in April 2021, Panasonic Corporation acquired a U.S. Supply chain software company, Blue Yonder for USD 7.1 billion. This acquisition will help Panasonic to expand in the U.S.

The cooktop, cooking range, microwave, and oven segment held the largest revenue share of over 30.0% in 2021.

Distribution Channel Insights

The brick and mortar segment held the largest revenue share of over 65.0% in 2021. Most consumers prefer brick-and-mortar stores for buying household appliances due to the exclusive offerings by product specialists and after-sale services. There are many brick-and-mortar stores such as Target, Walmart, and Old Navy in the U.S. regarding household and kitchen appliances. These are more likely experience stores that provide the consumers a hands-on experience of how the product works.

These stores provide various options to the customers as well. Many brands have opened their experience stores in the U.S. in order to gain traction among customers. For instance, in February 2019, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. launched the first-ever experience retail stores for the U.S. market in three locations which are New York, California, and Texas. This strategy allowed the customers to try out new products and experience them.

The e-commerce segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2030. Rising internet penetration amongst consumers and target marketing done by companies to reach all customer touchpoints are likely to fuel the growth of this segment. The rapid expansion of e-commerce, along with the growing digitalization, especially among the young and millennial population at a global level, is driving the online sales of household appliances in the U.S. Additionally, easy payment transactions and the busy lifestyles of consumers are driving the online sales of the products.

According to eMarketer, in 2020, consumer electronics and computers, which were bought online, accounted for 49.5% of the total retail sales in the U.S. Many U.S. consumers bought the products through online retailers such as Amazon and Walmart in record numbers.
