The status quo of China's dishwasher industry in 2024: the market size is growing steadily, and technological breakthroughs are facing challenges

In recent years, the development of China's dishwasher industry has entered a complex new stage. Despite the steady growth of the market size and rising demand, there are many challenges in technological innovation and import and export trade. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the current situation and future trends of the dishwasher industry in China in 2024, and strive to provide a comprehensive industry analysis to help readers better understand this market full of opportunities and challenges.

Beginning: Status and challenges of the dishwasher industry

The dishwasher, once considered a luxury appliance, is now becoming a "standard feature" in the home kitchen. According to the latest data, in 2023, the scale of China's dishwasher market reached 11.2 billion yuan, an increase of nearly 10%. This is undoubtedly an affirmation of the policy of actively promoting the intellectualization and popularization of home appliances. However, it is worrying that the import and export scale of dishwashers has fallen overall, which indicates that the industry will experience challenges while facing increased market demand.

Many consumers have begun to pursue a high-quality, intelligent life, which makes the demand for dishwashers show an upward trend. However, at the technical level, the number of patent applications in the industry has declined significantly since 2021, showing that the difficulty of technological breakthroughs in the industry is increasing, and how to deal with this phenomenon will be the key to the future development of the industry.

1. The import and export scale of dishwashers

According to statistics, since 2019, China's exports and imports of dishwashers have fluctuated greatly. In 2023, China's total exports of dishwashers reached $6.584 billion, while the total imports were only $467 million. In the global market, China continues to attract demand with its low-cost manufacturing advantages, but this advantage is also facing fierce international competition.

2. The popularity of technology patent applications has declined

Technological innovation in the dishwasher industry is an important driving force for the market growth. However, from 2015 to 2023, the number of technology patent applications for dishwashers in China showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. From 2021 onwards, especially in 2022 and 2023, the number of patents published has decreased significantly. This trend reflects the need to strengthen technology investment and research and development in the industry, especially in the development of intelligent and low-carbon products.

3. Market consumption characteristics

At present, the main user groups of dishwashers in China are concentrated in first - and second-tier cities, and their consumers are mostly middle-class people who pursue high-quality life. Compared with price sensitivity, these customers value personalized and customized products and services. Therefore, enterprises need to pay more attention to user experience and personalized needs when designing and promoting dishwasher products.

In 2023, offline sales will still occupy the main market channel, reaching 56% of sales. These sales channels are not only reflected in large home appliance stores, but also cover more small home appliance retail stores and specialty stores, showing the diversified needs of consumers when choosing products.

Future trend: intelligent and multi-functional 1. Intelligent pursuit

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the future development of the dishwasher industry will increasingly move toward intelligence. Consumer demand for smart homes is increasing, and the intelligence of dishwashers will attract more users. For example, dishwashers with self-cleaning, remote control, automatic fault detection and smart washing modes will become the new darling of the market.

2. Low carbon environmental protection requirements

On a global scale, low-carbon environmental protection has become a policy outlet. Consumers are aware of the importance of environmental protection for sustainable development, so environmental factors such as the energy consumption and water consumption of dishwashers have also become important considerations in purchasing decisions. The industry needs to gradually introduce more low-carbon and environmentally friendly elements into the design and production process of dishwashers to enhance market acceptance.

3. Multi-functional design concept

The dishwasher of the future is not just a dishwashing tool, but a multi-functional home appliance. With the increasing diversification of kitchen functions, combining dishwashers with other appliances such as steam ovens to form an integrated solution may become a major trend in future product design. This not only enhances the user experience, but also optimizes the kitchen space to meet the needs of modern families for efficient use of resources.

Conclusion: Meet challenges and embrace new opportunities

To sum up, in 2024, China's dishwasher industry is facing a good prospect of continued market growth, but the lack of technological innovation and the decline of import and export scale are urgent problems for the industry to solve. In the face of challenges in domestic and foreign markets, industry practitioners should actively respond to them and pay attention to the docking of technology research and development and market demand. In the new stage of development, enterprises need to enhance innovation capabilities, while focusing on environmental protection, and promote intelligent and low-carbon transformation and upgrading.

Sublimation theme: Thinking about the future

The future of China's dishwasher industry contains both opportunities and challenges. The rapid development of science and technology and the renewal of consumption concepts will have a profound impact on this market. While consumers enjoy high-quality home life, they are also promoting the continuous change of the industry. We expect that in the coming days, the dishwasher industry will be able to break the technical difficulties and meet the growing market demand in a more environmentally friendly and smarter way.
