In the five years to 2012, revenue for the Home Appliance Store industry in China has been increasing at an annualized rate of 10.1% to $140.9 billion. Rising incomes, the expansion of chain enterprises, greater retail power over suppliers, wider product ranges, and government assistance have all supported the growth of the industry.

Profit levels vary significantly among different product segments – kitchen and bathroom appliances are the most profitable, electronics the least. However, increased industry competition in recent years has resulted in overall profit declines as companies reduced prices to increase market share. The four largest companies operating in this industry, including GOME and Suning, account for just under a quarter of total revenue, which indicates a low market share concentration level. In many large cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, the industry concentration level is much higher, with major companies forming oligopolies.

Home Appliance Stores in China are struggling though a demand slump in 2012 due to the expiration of the government's 2009 stimulus package. Moreover, employment and logistics costs are on the rise. Future revenue growth will be slow, says IBISWorld, driven by the expansion of the industry into China's less developed rural areas.
