Introduction

Abstract

Description

Despite the difficult times faced by the industry, the use of electronics in major home appliances continues to increase. This report expands on previous editions by incorporating new forecasts and additional data segmentations to provide unparalleled coverage. It draws on in-depth interviews with appliance manufacturers, sub-system suppliers, and semiconductor vendors to provide a detailed analysis of the major home appliance market and the opportunities for growth within it.

Some of the key findings are:

• The impact of the global economic recession is forecast to cause global shipments to fall by 8% in 2009.
• Countries in Western and Eastern Europe are projected to see the steepest drop in appliance shipments while Latin America, Africa, and parts of Asia are forecast to outperform the global average.
• Despite the downturn, the rollout of new technology in home appliances continues as MHA makers seek to differentiate their products and meet stricter efficiency requirements.
• The adoption of inverter-based variable speed motor control is forecast to grow substantially over the next five years due to efficiency regulations
• Smart grid initiatives offer the opportunity to radical change the market in the future, though the transition to networked appliances will be slow.
• Asian manufacturers have increased their market share in recent years as domestic markets grow and export strategies become more aggressive.
• The market for semiconductors in major home appliances will grow to over $1.5 billion by 2013 as penetration of displays, touch controls, and variable speed motor control rises.

Feature of this report include:

• MHA penetration, installed base, and market forecast for 23 countries/regions.
• Analysis of the state of energy efficiency regulations and the impact on the MHA market.
• Detailed forecasts for the penetration of inverter-based variable speed motor control.
• Statistics on the use of electronic displays and touch controls.
• Evaluation of the status of networked home appliances.
• Separate analysis for the use of 12 semiconductor types in major home appliances and how this will change in the next five years.
• Market share rankings and profiles of the major vendors to the global market.
