Executive summary
Rising salaries fuel demand for durable and semi-durable goods
In 2008, GDP growth of 4.8% was registered, which meant the continuation of the positive trend in the Polish economy from previous years. Growth was fuelled by a rising individual consumption rate, and investment in different industries. The observable increase in consumption was to a large degree contingent upon significant salary growth. Consumers were more willing to purchase durable and semi-durable goods. Domestic electrical appliances constituted a large share of Poles’ purchasing basket.
On the other hand, some unfavourable economic signs were observed. The alarming factors in the economy were a rising inflation rate and increased prices of raw materials, the growth of transport costs and a deterioration of the country’s financial and economic standing in the global economy, which resulted in a slowdown in domestic exports.
Financial institutions encourage consumers to incur credit
There was an increasing tendency to cover individual expenditure by consumer credit or mortgages. It is becoming standard for financial advice outlets to be established in retail chain stores. Consumers are encouraged to incur credit or file an application for a credit card. Paying in instalments enables customers to purchase relatively expensive durable goods. This is especially significant for less affluent consumers who cannot afford to spend on such products with their current incomes.
The boom in the construction industry is connected with the increase in mortgage outstanding balances. Newly purchased dwellings have to be fitted out, which drives demand for basic domestic electrical appliances such as fridge freezers, large cooking appliances, automatic washing machines and vacuum cleaners.
Manufacturers struggle with the consequences of price decreases in large kitchen appliances
The strong rivalry amongst retailers, especially electrical goods retailers multiples, led to a decline in the prices of large kitchen appliances. For manufacturers, this is a very alarming phenomenon which has a negative impact on their financial results. It should be stressed that the prices of large kitchen appliances in Poland are some of the lowest in Europe. Manufacturers intensively extended their offers and advertised technologically-advanced products to minimise the effects of the price reductions in 2008.
The trend towards improving standards of living drives sales of small electrical appliances
The unit prices of small electrical appliances increased in 2007 and 2008. This was a change to the negative trend from previous years, when there was a decline in prices. Polish consumers are increasingly interested in stylish and modern appliances which improve their standard of living and ability to carry out regular household chores. This trend especially concerns such items as air conditioners, food preparation appliances and personal care appliances. In addition, manufacturers use intensive advertising when introducing new models equipped with innovative solutions and features. In this way they encourage consumers to replace their old appliances with new, more functional ones. This trend results in shortening the product life cycle.
A positive prognosis for domestic electrical appliances is expected
Sales of domestic electrical appliances are expected to increase during the forecast period. The characteristic feature will be the shortening of the product replacement cycle. The low level of penetration in some categories will be the essential stimulus driving sales. Consumers will be more eager to purchase appliances which they had not previously owned, and which could impact positively on their lifestyle. The essential factor is expected to be the trend towards built-in kitchens and the desire to make everyday household chores quicker and easier.
