Sales of so-called white goods such as air conditioners and refrigerators will continue to be strong due to demand for nesting, and it is predicted that the domestic shipment value for the new fiscal year will approach this year, which is the highest level in 24 years.
According to the Japan Electronics Industry Association, which is made by electronics manufacturers, the domestic shipment value of white goods this year is 2,524 billion yen, which is 2.8% higher than last year and is expected to be the highest level in 24 years since 1996. ..
It is believed that this is due to the growing demand for nesting to enhance the products and services used at home and the uniform payment of 100,000 yen in cash.
In addition, the domestic shipment value for the new fiscal year starting next month is 2,479.3 billion yen, which is 1.8% lower than the forecast for this fiscal year, but is expected to remain at a high level.
At a press conference, Yuji Hamasaki, Chairman of the Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association, said, "Even if the infection is resolved, work style reforms and lifestyle changes will continue, and consumers' needs for cleanliness-oriented and high-value-added products will continue. ".
