Electrical Household Appliance Manufacturing in Ireland industry analysis

Domestic appliance manufacturers specialise in the production of a whole assortment of white goods, from washing machines to refrigerators. These products are considered a necessity in most households, feeding into the everyday lives of the whole European population. The industry's fortunes are typically driven by the health of European households' income levels and the underlying strength of downstream residential construction markets. Revenue is expected to drop at a compound annual rate of 1.2% over the five years through 2024 to €93.8 billion, including an estimated decline of 2.1% in 2024.

Trends and Insights

  • Domestic appliance manufacturers are grappling with high inflation and volatile demand conditions. Soaring inflation has strained consumer demand for white goods, while fluctuations in housebuilding activity have filtered through to demand for home appliances.
  • US tariffs will directly raise costs and reduce competitiveness. The 25% tariff on aluminium and steel also impacts products that are made partly of these materials including electrical appliances. This is making products like washing machines, refrigerators and small kitchen appliances more expensive for US buyers, likely reducing European export volumes.
  • Brand loyalty enables larger manufacturers to maintain a dominant share of the market. As domestic appliances are essential in most households, consumers typically prefer trusted brands that they have used before.
