In Europe, the basic every family should keep a maximum number of household appliances, such as washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, that they will be equipped with some electrical appliances.

From the sales point of view, close to one-third of the global electronics market sales come from Western Europe, mainly due to selection of home appliances in Western Europe most of the family is a very high-end. For the Asia-Pacific market, in addition to expanding sales of household electrical appliances, how to make sales to grow should be the more critical challenge.
