In 2012, the overall economic environment remained sluggish, and the home appliance industry was significantly impacted, entering a period of adjustment. However, the kitchen and bathroom appliance sector stood out, showing stronger performance compared to other segments. Specifically, the kitchen appliance market maintained a growth rate of 17.5% in the first half of the year, far exceeding the 8.9% growth rate of the entire home appliance industry. According to forecasts from Beijing Zhongyekang Times Market Research Co., Ltd., the kitchen and bathroom appliances market is expected to see a slight upward trend in 2013. Retail sales for water heaters are projected to reach 39 billion yuan, while gas stoves and range hoods are expected to hit 21.4 billion and 14.5 billion yuan respectively. Other product categories will also maintain a substantial market presence.
The Chinese kitchen and toilet electrical industry has over 20 years of development history, with continuous innovation and product introduction keeping the sector vibrant. Often referred to as a "sunrise industry" within the home appliance sector, it has benefited from rising living standards and increasing consumer purchasing power. Companies have focused more on R&D, incorporating new materials and technologies to create smarter, more energy-efficient, and healthier products. These innovations have made kitchen and bathroom appliances more aligned with modern lifestyles, emphasizing convenience, functionality, and smart features.
At the China Household Appliances Expo held in Shanghai in March 2013, kitchen and bathroom appliances were set to be the main attraction. The exhibition featured a dedicated space showcasing the latest trends and innovations. This platform not only helped promote new products but also facilitated better communication between manufacturers and consumers, ultimately boosting sales.
Several major companies, including Kohler China, Miji (Germany), Boxi, Electrolux, A.O. Smith, Fangtai, Boss, Wanhe, Wanjiale, Meida, Kangquan, Supor, Jiuyang, Huijiebao, and Thinkcap, confirmed their participation. They planned to showcase cutting-edge kitchen and bathroom electrical products, demonstrating their advanced R&D and production capabilities.
Exhibitors also introduced creative strategies, such as setting up a “food street†at the event to highlight the practicality and appeal of kitchen appliances. As one company representative explained, kitchen appliances are unique in that they emphasize comprehensive functionality and user experience. Therefore, exhibitors aimed not just to display products but to convey lifestyle concepts—focusing on fashion, comfort, health, and safety. The integration of kitchen and bathroom appliances into home design was also a key theme, reflecting a shift towards seamless, smart, and integrated living spaces.
