Opportunity: Integration of new technologies, such as AI, with smart appliances

AI technologies make products think like humans. They help to understand how the human brain thinks, learns, decides, and works. AI has become very popular in today’s world. It has applications in different industries like healthcare, manufacturing, banking, and automotive. Smart appliances companies are working to in-build AI in products to make them more personalized and convenient for consumers.

AI will help to identify usage patterns, user preferences, and opportunities for additional technologies. It helps in identifying gaps in the usage and capabilities of smart appliances. This will give companies working in the field of smart appliances an opportunity to enhance their products to meet customer requirements in the future. For instance, LG Electronics (South Korea) introduced its new AI-enabled Proactive Customer Care for personalized support and alerts. On purchase of certain LG appliances, users get this complimentary Proactive Customer Care service through the LG ThinQ app. The app is available for both iOS and Android phones.

Challenge: High cost associated with installation of smart appliances

Smart appliances are relatively expensive as compared to conventional appliances. To connect all the appliances in the house, they must be connected via a common interface for communication. Installation costs can range from USD 50 to USD 1,000, depending upon the number of appliances and technology used. Although it is beneficial for the long run, attracting consumers at these costs can be a challenge for companies. Currently, smart appliances are installed in most American and European homes.

However, a significant percentage of the population in these regions still find high-end smart home appliances with advanced technologies unaffordable. In Asian countries such as India and China, a sizeable portion of the population cannot afford even basic home appliances. Thus, the high cost of purchase, as well as maintenance, can hinder the growth of this market at a global level. To overcome this, efforts could be taken to make customers aware of the long-term benefits of adopting smart appliances.
