Seek opportunities in healthy eating and hygienic home systems, as well as home automation

Appliances that are instrumental parts of the healthy and hygienic home are seeing the greatest advances in innovation and opportunities for healthy growth. Home automation also continues to offer opportunities for value-added innovation, especially in high-income households.

Successful innovation breaks traditional confinements of siloed product approach
