Executive summary

The DEA environment

The Swedish economy remained strong and stable in 2008 with large surpluses of money for consumer spending in 2008. Compared to the 2007 performance, the Swedish domestic electrical appliances (DEA) market achieved record growth in the first quarter of 2008, although this then levelled out. Unlike the previous three years, growth had mainly been driven by growth in the building industry and renovations. Amid the global slowdown, Sweden proved itself once again to have a strong and stable economy that is very resilient.

Nonetheless, GDP growth slowed to 2.6% during 2007 the lowest level since 2003. The main influences for the slowdown were a boil down from the global economic conditions which resulted in increased raw material and energy costs that pushed inflation and interest rates up.

Increasing polarisation of sales towards the premium and low-end segments remained a strong trend with many manufacturers moving their brands either upwards or downwards. More players present in premium brands also led to the creation of the super premium sector.

Like 2007, there were no dramatic changes in 2008 although growth was slower in 2008 than in the previous year. Volume sales will continue to increase during the forecast period but at a slower rate.

Increased costs of raw materials

Like other markets, the DEA industry is moving through a period of large gains and profits in spite of rising raw material costs and ecological concerns. Average prices were kept down as a growing number of appliances for the Western European market are produced in countries such as Poland, Hungary, Romania and Turkey.

A slower world economy

Growth in the global economy has slowed due to the turbulence in financial markets and high prices of energy and food. However, the slowing growth in exports had the most significant effect in dampening growth in the Swedish economy although the severity of the impact will be softened by rising employment and higher wages. Real household income will increase during 2008 and 2009 despite high inflation rates. Thus although a slowdown in DEA sales growth is expected, it will be minimal.

New role of the kitchen

The kitchen is becoming increasingly important as the entertainment centre of the house. More consumers today are staying in instead of going out. An Electrolux survey indicates that more then half of the survey sample use their kitchen for purposes other than cooking and making food. This survey further indicates that Europeans spend a third of their time in the kitchen.

Large players lead the way

AB Electrolux is the top manufacturer on the overall large appliances market, with a leading market position in each of the largest sectors. Top performing manufacturers in 2008 were BSH, Electrolux and Asko Cylinda.

Energy concerns migrate to small appliances

2008 became the year of energy awareness as consumers came to consider energy usage much more seriously. Energy concerns are now moving beyond large kitchen to small kitchen appliances and brown goods. Increased energy prices and environmental problems will drive the demands for energy efficient products across all sectors.
