With the local economy anticipated to recover in the long term, appliances and electronics specialists will benefit from the expanding generation of tech-savvy consumers across Generation Z and millennials over the forecast period. The trend will be consolidated by the influx of affordable small appliances and electronics and the lowering of data prices.
Since the pandemic, the internet has become the primary point of price discovery for electronics and appliances in South Africa, a trend consolidated in 2022 due to consumers' rising price-sensitivity. The shift also gives room to a new generation of consumers, often called “digital budgeteers”.
The South African government implemented the e-waste management programme in November 2021 after reports indicated that the burning of appliances was hazardous and represented up to 10% of gas emissions in the country. The programme was created to complement the National Environmental Management Waste Act (NEMWA) act enforced in November 2021 to give producers, in addition to retailers, greater responsibility over post-consumer packaging waste by requiring a recycling fee per ton of products.
