“Integration of Voice-Controlled and AI-Enabled Features in SDA”
- The small domestic appliances (SDA) market is experiencing a rapid shift toward smart home integration, with growing demand for AI-powered and voice-controlled functionalities across kitchen, floor care, and garment care appliances
- Consumers are increasingly adopting SDA products that support platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and proprietary AI systems, enabling hands-free operation, personalized routines, and remote diagnostics
- These technologies enhance user convenience, energy efficiency, and real-time data tracking, allowing appliances to learn preferences, automate repetitive tasks, and improve long-term performance
- For instance, in January 2024, Whirlpool Corporation launched a new range of AI-enabled washing machines and refrigerators that respond to voice commands and auto-adjust settings based on user behaviour
- As smart living becomes the norm, the SDA market is set to benefit from rising AI adoption, propelling innovation in connected appliances that elevate user experience through automation and predictive capabilities
