Another year of decline

The domestic electrical appliances market experienced another year of current value decline in 2005, mainly brought about by a fall in value sales of large electrical appliances, and a lesser decline for small kitchen appliances. Overall, volume sales performed slightly better, up 1%. As during every year of the review period, small electrical appliances saw a further increase in their share of the total domestic electrical appliances market in 2005.

Built-in appliances gain further share

Built-in appliances outperformed freestanding free·stand·ing  
adj.
Standing or operating independently of anything else: a freestanding bell tower; a freestanding maternity clinic.
 appliances in 2005, with only a slight decline in volume terms. Contributing factors include declining demand for freestanding dishwashers and freestanding cookers, while from a low base, built-in microwaves were particularly dynamic during 2005. The most important exception was refrigeration appliances, where freestanding appliances performed slightly better than built-in units.

Adj. 1. lacklustre - lacking brilliance or vitality; "a dull lackluster life"; "a lusterless performance"
 market performance is due to continued spending restraints among German consumers as a result of macroeconomic mac·ro·ec·o·nom·ics

 uncertainty and high unemployment. As a result, consumers delay replacement purchases preventing growth in a context of market saturation In economics, "market saturation" is a term used to describe a situation in which a product has become diffused (distributed) within a market; the actual level of saturation can depend on consumer purchasing power; as well as competition, prices, and technology.  for most product types. In addition, value growth is hampered by intense price competition, both among manufacturers and retailers. Innovations in terms of design or added features often do not translate into additional value for manufacturers. However, some price increases were introduced in 2005 as a result of higher prices of raw materials and energy, and more are expected for 2006.

Competition intensifies as many leading players lose volume share

The majority of leading brands in the domestic electrical appliances market are traditional German brands, although not all are German-owned. Leading players in the large electrical appliances environment are Bosch-Siemens Hausgerate (BSH BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (Germany)
BSH Bausparkasse Schwaebisch Hall (German Building Society)
BSH Bourne Shell
BSH Bundesamt für Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie
), AEG AEG Aeger (Latin: Sick)
AEG Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft (Common Electricity Company)
AEG Aircraft Evaluation Group
AEG Association of Engineering Geologists
AEG Air Expeditionary Group
 Hausgerate, Bauknecht Hausgerate, Liebherr-Hausgerate and Miele & Cie led large kitchen appliances, while leading players in small electrical appliances are Groupe SEB Deutschland, Braun and Philips. Miele & Cie also is also a strong player in small electrical appliances, although its presence is limited to vacuum cleaners. Stronger competition from emerging brands such as Samsung, Daewoo or LG, as well as private label products and cheap imports, resulted in volume share losses for many of the leading brands in 2005, especially in the areas of freestanding large kitchen appliances and small electrical appliances.

Sales expected to improve over forecast period

Sales of domestic electrical appliances are expected to improve over the forecast period, although this depends on an improvement in consumer confidence leading to increased spending. Furthermore, as the stock of old appliances increases, more replacement purchases may simply become necessary, without the option to postpone post·pone
