Overall, the market looked negative in July compared to the same period last year, with a decrease of -5%. Almost all sectors showed negative market figures in July.<\/p>\n
The MDA sector did not have such a good month in July compared to last year, especially in freestanding groups. Cookers recorded the biggest drop in units sold with -26%, followed by coolers with -22%, freezers -7% and washing machines -7%. In terms of sales value, only two categories recorded negative results – cookers with -22% and coolers with -5%. The biggest growth was recorded by tumble dryers with +51% and dishwashers with +21%.<\/p>\n
The SDA sector has not changed drastically compared to recent months; it continues to decline steadily. Hot beverage makers and vacuum cleaners continue to be the main cause of the decline, and demand for these categories has almost come to a complete standstill. Only shavers and the dental care category saw growth, but these categories will not change the entire sector.<\/p>\n
The TV sector is no exception in July compared to the rest of the year. Sales units fell to -13% and sales value fell to -14%. This negative trend is expected to continue through the end of the year.<\/p>\n
July was not the best month for the SMP sector in terms of units sold at -7%, but sales value was up 13%. The result is not special compared to the previous months, but it is believed that the SMP sector will perform the best this year.<\/p>\n
The IT sector has not had such a poor result since March. Units sold fell -20% compared to last year. The biggest declines were in media tablets (-34%) and monitors (-21%). Only printers saw growth of +15%. The sales value increased only for notebooks by 16% and for printers by 29%. Hopefully, this will change with the start of the school season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
