Haier declared world’s
#1 brand
LAHORE (PR): Haier is not just a global brand in terms of its presence in markets around the world. It is a brand that has consistently outperformed all others in sales volume on a global scale. It has yet again been declared the world’s #1 brand, for an unprecedented 9th year running, a position it has made its own since 2009.
Figures for the year 2017, released by EuroMonitor, the world’s most authoritative market research institution, show that Haier enjoys a 10.5% share of the global market, a staggering 4.5% lead over the next best brand from Korea which has a global market share of only 6%.
Theoratically, this puts a Haier appliance in one out of every ten homes around the world, a phenomenal achievement for a brand that started as a washing machine manufacturer just 35 years ago.
According to EuroMonitor, Haier enjoys an unassailable lead in several categories of home appliances, and leads the world in refrigerators with a 17.3% share of world sales, 14.6% in washing machines, 13.5% in electric coolers, and a whopping 20.6% share in freezers.
In Pakistan, Haier’s steadily increasing market equity mimics the brand’s worldwide performance, giving Haier Pakistan an impressive 25% share of the home appliance market. Arguably this means that four out of every ten Pakistani buyers opt for a Haier appliance for their homes. Today, Haier leads the Pakistan market in major categories like air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators and freezers, and now has a steadily increasing share of electronics, particularly HD LED TV and Laptops.
