KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

A smart refrigerator is an internet-connected refrigerator that can connect through the internet or Wi-Fi to provide numerous features. It operates through a touchscreen interface and provides the user to operate through a smartphone or tablet from a remote location. Smart fridges provide flexible user-controlled cooling operations and are attached with cameras and sensors that can scan the storage of food items and essentials inside. Consumers in developing countries are increasingly shifting toward smart home appliances to benefit from internet connectivity features and diminish power consumption. 


The rising number of smart homes and the idea of connecting smart appliances to the internet of things (IoT) for efficiency and convenience are paving lucrative growth opportunities for the smart refrigerator market.

Lack of monitoring and timely usage of food items leads to wastage which is a common problem for the end-users, and smart fridges support the management and storage of food items without spoilage. For instance, The United Nations Development Program stated that there is increased food spoilage across residential and commercials in India. According to the survey, nearly 40% of the food was wasted, and 20 % of the food items were discarded. The need for timely and effective food management in residential and commercial sectors is expected to increase the demand for smart refrigerators. Also, the growing adoption of smart homes and smart kitchens are fueling the demand for the product.

Smart refrigerators have high-tech features such as a hands-free door, touchscreen interface, built-in sensors and are generally more expensive than ordinary ones. There is a high amount of repair cost involved with which the consumers have to spend more on certain specific parts that are difficult to locate. The spare parts often find unavailability due to shortage, which hinders the growth in the global market.
