Now that 100 percent of the country has electricity coverage, alongside a recent increase in the standard of living in certain segments of the customer base, the refrigerator market has begun to notice significant growth. In the current scenario, the key for any refrigerator brand to perform well in the Bangladesh market is to have advanced technology and smart features at competitive prices.

SINGER is focused on becoming the lifestyle partner of the 'aspirational consumers', who are looking for innovative home appliance solutions.

Mohammad Mubarak Hossain General Manager (Sales & Marketing), Electra International.

Our target is to capture the mid-range consumers through quality products, attractive design, durability, and smart features that are environmentally friendly.

The current situation in the Bangladesh refrigerator market is quite good. And we expect that it will be experiencing accelerated growth in the near future, as the entire country now has electricity coverage. This has been possible due to the right decisions made by the government. I would like to thank the government in this regard, since government policy has facilitated the rise of the refrigerator industry in Bangladesh.

Nurul Afser  Deputy Managing Director, Electro Mart

Our main moto is to expand our refrigerator business by meeting the demands and expectations of our customers. We have a plan to invest BDT 5,000 crore by 2030 and make our business threefold during this period. Our target is to export our refrigerators and freezers by 2025. The existing scenario of the refrigerator market is great. At present around 3 million units are being sold yearly and the refrigerator industry is growing on an average of 30-35 percent year-on-year. This growth of the refrigerator market has only been possible because of the government's effort to ensure 100 percent electricity coverage of rural areas, increased per capita income and increased urbanization.

At the same time, we must have a clear long-term vision and policies from our government to encourage and keep motivating local investors to invest in the refrigerator industry, as the government did for pharmaceuticals and RMG industry.
