            Competitive Landscape Brief

            Demand is driven by growth in consumer income and by home sales. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and effective marketing. Large companies have economies of scale in production, marketing, and distribution. Small companies can compete effectively by producing specialty products, subcontracting to the larger manufacturers, or producing name brand goods under contract. Imports, primarily from Mexico and China, are a major source of competition for US household appliance manufacturers, accounting for about 45 percent of the US market. US exports of household appliances are relatively small and go mainly to Canada and Mexico.The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $310,000.
