Major Smart Appliance Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Over the past five years, the US major smart appliance manufacturing industry has experienced mixed results as surging demand for connected devices has been partially offset by supply chain turbulence and tariff-driven cost pressures. Smart appliance adoption accelerated, led by new features such as remote diagnostics, voice controls and energy-saving modes. This prompted upgrades of refrigerators, laundry machines and HVAC systems. Despite this, the industry faced headwinds from rising input costs, persistent tariffs on components from China and the need to reconfigure manufacturing footprints toward countries like Mexico and Vietnam. Revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 1.1% over the past five years and is expected to reach $4.5 billion in 2025, when revenue will fall by an estimated 0.6%.

Trends and Insights

  • Smart features are lifting demand and profitability. Broader IoT, AI and energy capabilities are drawing shoppers toward connected refrigerators, laundry and HVAC systems, allowing manufacturers to raise prices, upsell services and shorten upgrade cycles across North America.
  • Cooking appliances anchor revenue and pricing power. Near-universal penetration, steady replacements and layered connectivity enable ranges, ovens and cooktops to command higher average selling prices. Commercial adoption also adds HACCP logging, automation and remote diagnostics, expanding service attachments and lifecycle income.​
  • The Southeast is winning smart appliance projects on labor flexibility, incentives and logistics. Right-to-work laws, port-centric freight and programs like Georgia’s Quick Start cut risk and time-to-product, while rail expansions and greenfield sites bolster resilient omnichannel supply chains.
  • High entry barriers protect incumbents. Compliance with DOE, ENERGY STAR, UL, FCC and evolving IoT privacy rules, as well as the costs of tooling, firmware, apps and Matter-class certifications, slows launches and magnifies recall and liability risks for newcomers.
