Anyone who thought that the corona was behind us will find that the habits we acquired during the closures (in Israel most of the traffic restrictions were removed as early as March 2021), are still with us, for example in the field of home investment. Perhaps this long stay in homes during the months in 2020 and early 2021, and perhaps is the fact that despite the gradual release of the restrictions, overseas did not become available as an option - not only for most Israelis, but for the entire world population.

In any case, whatever the reason may be, Data from research firm GfK reveals that there was a 21% increase in sales of small appliances and a 31% increase in sales of large (white) appliances compared to 2020.

GfK expects that by the end of the year, total sales of home appliances will reach $ 362 billion This is an 8% increase compared to 2020, which reflects a new record in global sales volumes.The reason for the large increase in home appliance sales is the prolonged stay in homes due to closures and the fear of contracting the virus.

The long stay at home has created a high demand for better appliances that will satisfy the consumers who increased during this period the use of ovens and machines and dryers, washed more dishes using the dishwasher and preferred larger refrigerators that would store all the food stored in the home.

Due to the convergence into the home, consumers preferred high-quality, technological devices and products that maintain hygiene.

The data indicate a 36% increase in the purchase of side-by-side refrigerators and a 33% jump in the purchase of refrigerators with more than four doors.

In addition, washing machines with a steam function were sold almost twice as much as the previous year.
