Market Growth Factors

Growing Demand for Smart and Connected Appliances

Smart home technologies and appliances are affecting the Latin America washing machine market. Consumers increasingly choose appliances that can be integrated with home connected systems and controlled via their smartphone or home automation system. Current smart features in washing appliances include wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), load detection, and automatic detergent dispensing. With these smart appliances forming a powerfully resilient and energy/water efficient portfolio, and in tune with the region's focus on energy conservation, there has been demand for connected and energy efficient washing machines.

Environmental awareness and conserving energy drive governments and others to encourage the purchase of energy-efficient appliances to reduce energy consumption to control climate change. Energy and water efficient appliances are in demand by consumers. Inverter technology washing machines and eco programs reduce water use and save money on the utility bill. An example is Samsung's launch of its Bespoke AI Washer and Dryer in São Paulo in October 2024, which focuses on the trend of AI-improved efficiencies in washing and drying appliances that deliver energy savings of up to 70%.

Expansion of E-Commerce and Digital Sales Channels
