Consumer durables major players like Whirlpool, LG, Electrolux, Samsung, BSH, etc. are looking to double their business in the built-in appliance space. Major players have tie-ups with real estate players like DLF, through which they are able to provide appliance solutions to their customers. As players such as Samsung expand into the built-in kitchen appliances market with Sempio, their collaboration tends to strengthen its built-in appliances business, with an eye on the rising demand for built-in kitchens in luxury mansions, premium apartments, and food businesses across the country. Furthermore, the market is segmented into two applications, including residential and commercial. Among them, commercial application is leading the market with more than 60% of the market in 2022.

Major players are positioned for future growth and increased sales to keep up with growing markets in the Middle East. Recently, a strong recovery in demand has been noted in Qatar and the UAE markets, with increased sales for built-in appliances. For instance, General Electric introduced a new range of built-in kitchen appliances across the Middle East in an effort to capitalize on the regional construction boom. The appliance range, consisting of ovens, cookers, and range hoods, was showcased to distributors and associated clients at the Hometech exhibition in Dubai. The products were first launched in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, GE Appliances’ two biggest markets in the Middle East.
