Executive summary
The crisis is over, the real growth has begun
As a consequence of the 1999-2002 economic crisis that led to high unemployment, low consumer confidence and income decline, consumers avoided purchasing non-essential items. However in 2003, the economic trend reversed and the domestic electrical appliances market began to realise strong growth, coupled with price recovery. Although volume growth was significant in most product categories, a revitalised economy propelled previous niche items to record levels.
Innovation is the name of the game
Due to an increase in disposable income and the end of the economic crisis, consumers started to purchase based on innovation instead of price. As a result, companies have expanded their product portfolios. For example, personal care appliances targeting teenage girls, microwave ovens that suggest recipes, refrigerators that prepare a shopping list and washers that automatically adjust washing cycles according to the type of clothes being washed are only a few of the many examples.
Retail competition heats up
Sales of domestic electrical appliances in Argentina were boosted by additional discounts of 5%, 10% and even 20%, offered by banks and specialist multiples, along with intense promotional activity, which motivated consumers to make larger purchases and return to stores more often. In 2006, retailers Frávega, Garbarino and Red Megatone distributed numerous free gifts including DVDs, official soccer t-shirts, passes to amusement parks, beauty services and even watches to consumers who made purchases above pre-established amounts.
The return of multinationals
A brighter economic outlook, coupled with a favourable tax regime, is enabling multinational companies to return their production activities to Argentina. Whirlpool Argentina SA, for example, has signed an agreement with Domec SA to produce its Whirlpool, Eslabon de Lujo and Consul cookers locally, instead of reopening its industrial plant located in the state of San Luis; and Indesit is considering opening a local manufacturing plant in order to produce domestic electrical appliances for Latin America.
Construction activity has a positive impact
Large kitchen appliances continue to benefit from record results in the construction industry, which recorded annual growth of more than 20% in 2002-2006. As a result, domestic electrical appliance companies are increasing their manufacturing capabilities, launching new models aimed at satisfying the demand from new houses.
