Haier SmartHome released its annual report for 2022 fiscal year, reporting growth of 7.2% year-on-year, with sales revenue of 32.6 billion €.
Despite challenging market environment, Haier Smart Home’s overseas business continue to grow, recording a 10.3% increase in turnover compared to last year.
In the European market, we continued to be the fastest growing Company, recording a double-digit revenue growth of approximately 20% year-over-year, achieving sales of 3.2 billion €.

THE ITALIAN BRAND ACQUIRED BY HAIER HAS CONQUERED THE LEADERSHIP IN ITALY IN THE WASHING SEGMENT WITH A VOLUME SHARE OF 12.4%
Candy in 2022 was the most important brand in Italy in the washing segment with a volume share of 12.4%. The company acquired by the Haier group in 2019 thus consolidates its position in the Italian home appliance market, in which it has been an iconic brand for over seventy years.
2023 for Haier Europe begins with two new names at the top of the commercial and marketing area. Sabrina Zara, former marketing director for Italy, is the new Haier sales director while Atena Manca, formerly Haier and IoT brand manager, will lead the marketing division as Marketing Leader Italy.
Both will report directly to Emiliano Garofalo, Italy country manager, and will be in charge of sales and marketing strategies, respectively, for the three brands Candy, Hoover and Haier with particular attention to the development of IoT ecosystems and the concept of ‘zero distance to consumer’.
The decision to focus on two managers already in the team – explains a note – underlines the commitment of the Italian branch in supporting the consolidation of internal growth paths.

The new dishwater plant is located within Haier’s New Green Field Production Campus in Turkey where the company has been investing massively in the last two years, lately with the opening of a platform for all standard-sized tumble dryers in 2021. The extension of the washing platforms plays a pivotal role in the go-to-market and customer centricity strategy as the company will continue to invest into new best-in-class energy innovations and launch patented Haier Europe technologies.

As of August, Candy Hoover Hungary , which is considered one of the leading domestic appliance distributors, will be managed by a new managing director, Márton Rózsa , who previously headed Samsung Electronics Hungary’s consumer electronics business. The company’s first man set a very dynamic development path for the company. This is a prominent stop for the number one player in the American and Asian premium home appliance market,This is a very important period in the life of Candy Hoover Hungary, as we are laying the important pillars of long-term growth. This is a serious motivation for me, because I have always loved challenges where development and construction were the focus. Brand introduction is a rare task in the life of most companies, which is why it is a very important task. The economic situation is also challenging, so it is particularly important how we prepare and do this. Of course, we also want to support the parent company’s efforts to make the Haier brand among the Top 3 in the premium segment in Europe within the foreseeable future,” emphasized Márton Rózsa .
