Market Report, "Irons in South Korea", published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon Jul 07 2014


Irons recorded stagnation with no new significant trends. Irons remained as an essential household item reaching an 89% penetration rate in 2013. However, the importance of irons is declining. Unlike some consumer appliances where consumers look for multi-function and new technology, irons is heading in a different direction. Simpler functions with shorter heating time are required in irons. By eliminating unnecessary functions, the product weight is lighter and smaller. In addition, manufacturers are focusing on reducing heating-up time as well as enhancing pressing pressure.

Competitive Landscape

Multinational brands dominates irons, as the top two multinational manufacturers hold 75% volume share combined as of 2013. Groupe SEB Korea Ltd leads irons with its Tefal brand. Another multinational player, Philips Korea Ltd follows Groupe SEB. However, the third ranking manufacturer, Haan Corp is a local company capturing standing steam generators. Haan Corp is popular for its steam iron but holds low share in irons at 9%, well below that of Philips Korea Ltd's volume share in 2013.

Industry Prospects

The penetration rate of irons is expected to decrease during the forecast period. The need for irons is falling as consumers outsource such time-consuming housework. In addition, an improvement in home laundry appliances is affecting irons up to some level. The effect is not severe as of 2013, but as the technology catches up the demand in the forecast period irons may see higher decrease. For instance, some front-loading washer dryers have a steam course which can smooth out small wrinkles in clothes, reducing the need for ironing.
