    New NIQ Report: Quality, Convenience, and Hygiene to Drive Growth in Home Appliances Market in 2026

    While unit sales in the Consumer Tech and Durable Goods (T&D) market remain flat at 1% growth for the first half of 2025, a 4.6% rise in dollar sales shows consumers are spending more per item.

Chinese brands lead on innovation in the international small home appliances market, commanding increasingly premium prices. Hygiene-related appliances like vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and dishwashers saw a 6% sales growth in the first half of this year, outpacing overall T&D value growth.
