India emerges as one of Samsung's fastest-growing markets for AI appliances
Samsung says India is one of its fastest-growing markets for AI home appliances. Newly connected devices rose from 82,000 in 2022 to 7,32,000 last year, a nine-fold jump. Over half of the appliances Samsung sells in India now have AI features, and younger buyers are driving demand. Samsung plans to bring AI to mid-range and entry-level models too.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Newly connected Samsung appliances in India grew from 82,000 in 2022 to 7,32,000 last year.
- More than 50 per cent of the appliances Samsung currently sells in India are AI-enabled, according to JB Park, President and CEO, Samsung Southwest Asia.
- 71 per cent of active SmartThings users in India and Southwest Asia are in their twenties and thirties, compared with a global average of 48 per cent.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are shopping for home appliances, compare the AI and non-AI models on the features you will actually use, and read the app and data-sharing terms before you decide. Treat AI features as a choice, not a must-have.
