Refurbishment – restoring used products to like-new condition for resale at lower prices – is transforming the consumer electronics and appliances market by addressing three consumer priorities: sustainability, affordability, and convenience. It particularly helps overcome concerns about pre-owned electronics and appliances quality.
Private label products – retailers’ alternatives to brands – tend to benefit from inflation. However, despite record inflation in France, Germany and the UK, the market share of private label in the three countries remained broadly stable across FMCGs in 2022. This is changing in 2023. This briefing analyses the reasons for the lukewarm performance of private label in 2022, how 2023 is different, and outlines key steps to capitalise on the positive tailwinds to win in private label going forward.
The third in a series that explores how hybrid working has impacted several industries across Western Europe. In this episode we turn our attention to what it means for industries like consumer electronics and appliances, home improvement & gardening, toys & video games, and hygiene. Euromonitor’s Alexandre Loeur is joined by Veronika Kandusova, Per Brandberg and Miles Agbanrin. They discuss how the music and sports industry turned to gaming to engage with consumers, how people transformed their homes into workspaces, gyms or entertainment hubs and assess if these changes are here to stay.
