Increased turnover in growth markets key to BSH’s success
In the growth market of the Region North America (USA/Canada), BSH increased its turnover by just under 3% and gained market share. The positive year-over-year performance is primarily attributable to the expansion of the portfolio to include products that are tailored to the local market, allowing BSH to reinforce its presence in the region and enhance its competitiveness.
Turnover in the Region Europe recorded a slight decline of -2%. The home market of Germany was also affected by the market-related decline. Here we countered the market trend and gained market share in the important built-in business. Turnover growth was also reported in countries such as the Netherlands, Austria, and the UK.
The Region Greater China recorded a moderate drop in turnover of -4.5% due to negative exchange rate effects and the significant weakening of the Chinese economy and consumer climate. Nevertheless, BSH remains the biggest non-Chinese home appliance manufacturer in China by far and is defending its strong market position.
The main success factor was strong turnover growth of almost 14% in the Region Emerging Markets, which includes Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the African continent. BSH generated significant growth in particular in Türkiye, the Middle East, Africa, and India.
Targeted investments with a view to actively shaping key markets
BSH has not only succeeded in generating momentum in key markets, but also in actively shaping them. This has been achieved thanks to an in-depth understanding of local consumer needs and through targeted investments in brand image, innovation, and local presence, also in the important growth markets of North America and Asia.
Thus, BSH continues to expand its network of Experience and Design Centers under the Bosch, Gaggenau and Thermador brands in the North American market. Following the opening of locations in Miami and Houston in 2024, additional centers will soon follow in Washington D.C. and Beverly Hills. BSH is thereby strengthening its market presence and continuing to invest in brand awareness.
In China, BSH celebrated the 30th anniversary of its market entry, setting strong accents with the opening of a global Research and Development Center and a Talent Center in Nanjing in June 2024. These centers promote innovation at a global level, investing in highly qualified experts and strengthening BSH’s market presence. At the same time, they underscore the technology leadership of BSH in the home appliance industry
