Domestic Appliances

This article looks at the likely future trends in home demand for four major electrical appliances—television sets, refrigerators, washing-machines and vacuum cleaners. The sales of all four have risen fast in the last decade (table 1, chart 1)—by an average of 16.5 per cent a year, taking all four together, compared with 2.2 per cent for total consumer demand.

Constant Prices

The original article was prepared during 1960 and published in November of that year; it dealt with the prospects, up to 1970, for sales of television sets, refrigerators, washing machines and vacuum cleaners. Its main conclusion was that “ the period of rapidly expanding sales is over for these four appliances. Taking them together, sales rose about 18 per cent a year (at constant prices) from 1950 to 1955, and 15 per cent a year from 1955 to 1959; the prospect for 1959 to 1965 is for a rise of 2½-5 per cent a year, with no acceleration likely in 1965-70. Output is likely to go up a little more slowly than sales, since supplies were rising well above sales in 1959 ”.
