Covering the Past, Present, and Future of the Home Appliance Industry! New Book "Home Appliance Business" Released

Cross Media Publishing Co., Ltd. published the book "Home Appliance Business" on May 29, 2026. This book delves deep into the evolution of home appliances and manufacturers, providing a multi-faceted explanation of business trends such as technological innovation, global competition, business restructuring, and the rise of emerging manufacturers. It also touches on the latest technologies such as AI, robotics, and smart homes, making it a must-read for a comprehensive overview of the past, present, and future of the home appliance industry. Japanese home appliance manufacturers, which once grew with the "Three Sacred Treasures," were forced to restructure due to the waves of digitalization and globalization. On the other hand, "generic appliance" manufacturers using fabless models and "third-pole" manufacturers like Balmuda, which emphasize design and experience, are making great strides. The book argues that the shift from manufacturing to "experience creation" is the key to survival. It also looks ahead to the future of smart homes and AI-powered automatic cooking pots. The author is IT and home appliance journalist Yasushi Anzo. The price is 1,848 yen (including tax).
