Granular Revenue Intelligence to Guide Smart Appliance Strategy

Client Background 

The client is a leading diversified electronics conglomerate with a fast-growing smart home portfolio across Asia and the Middle East. Their offerings span premium and mass-market connected appliances, including AI-enabled refrigerators and intelligent HVAC systems. 

Client’s Challenge 

The client sought granular revenue forecasts for multiple smart appliance segments, including AI-integrated refrigerators and intelligent HVAC systems across distinct markets in Asia and the Middle East. These regions presented varied challenges such as inconsistent connectivity infrastructure, diverse income brackets, and evolving energy-efficiency regulations. The client needed projections that could help validate internal investment plans, align R&D efforts, and support upcoming product launch strategies. A key requirement was to understand revenue variability under different economic and regulatory scenarios. 

How Mordor Intelligence Helped
