Executive summary

Fluctuating commodity prices and foreign exchange rates put pressure on margins

The skyrocketing commodity prices at the beginning of 2008 put great pressure on manufacturers of domestic electric appliances. Manufacturers have had to tighten up their operations and cut costs to maintain margins. Furthermore, the high value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar prompted many Canadian consumers to travel to the US to buy their large appliances, which were significantly cheaper there. This had an initial negative effect on sales, until many retailers reacted to this trend by cutting prices on big ticket items in order to encourage domestic sales.

The housing market reverses its previously positive influence on market

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has reported that the housing market has slowed from 2007’s unprecedented growth. The slowdown has had a knock-on effect on sales of many different appliances, with sales to both homebuilders and homeowners having grown less than in the previous year. Fortunately for the Canadian housing market, experts say that the slowdown is cyclical and not because of inherent flaws in the way the market is structured. This will insulate the country from having the same meltdown as US has experienced with its housing market. As a result, domestic electrical appliance sales in Canada will not be as negatively affected as they have been in the US.

Dyson drives rapid growth in vacuum sales

Dyson’s penetration into the Canadian vacuum cleaner sector continued in 2008 and has been the main driver in vacuum sales. The vacuum cleaner sector saw the largest value growth in 2008, with a 7% increase. The quality of Dyson vacuum cleaners has driven strong consumer demand for the appliances, such that there have been product shortages of its new handheld vacuum cleaner in Canada. Indoor air quality and health concerns have also played a factor in consumer demand for vacuum cleaners generally.

Kitchen becoming a place for entertainment

The kitchen has traditionally been used for meal preparation, but now, in addition to meal preparation, kitchens are being used as a primary place for entertaining guests. With guests increasingly spending time in the kitchen, the need has grown for the kitchen to be more aesthetically pleasing. Manufacturers of premium brands have picked up on this trend, offering a variety of appliances that not only offer greater functionality and improved performance, but also a stylish look that will blend into the kitchen’s décor.

Health a growing concern for ageing Canadian population

The ageing of the baby boomer population has been well documented. This demographic has been a subject of interest to many businesses, as they represent a large portion of the population and therefore a large potential market. As this demographic ages, maintaining a healthy lifestyle will become increasingly important. Manufacturers of domestic electric appliances have responded by offering products that promote healthy living in a variety of ways, from eating habits to respiration.
