Top 5 Appliance Technology Trends for 2024

Introduction

The global home appliance market is projected to exceed $1.2 trillion by 2024 (Statista), accelerated by these critical technological shifts. As an electronics component supplier, Briltech identifies five key trends reshaping hardware requirements – each demanding innovations in PCBs, power modules, and sensor technologies.

Trend 1: Whole-Home Smart System Integration

Key Developments

• Matter protocol adoption (300% growth expected in compatible devices)
• Distributed edge computing replacing centralized hubs
• Multi-protocol SoC designs

Component Implications

▶ High-Frequency RF Modules

• Wi-Fi 6/6E modules now require:
  • Improved impedance matching (50Ω ±5%)
  • Shielding effectiveness >60dB at 5GHz
• Case Study: Our dual-band antenna design increased signal penetration by 35% in smart refrigerators

▶ Protocol Comparison Table

Tech Tip: Prioritize FCC/CE-certified modules with harmonic distortion <-40dBc for interference-free operation.

Trend 2: Energy Efficiency Regulations Drive Innovation

Global Standards Update

• EU ERP 2024: Standby power ≤0.3W (from 0.5W)
• U.S. DOE mandates inverter technology in 92% of new AC units

Component Breakthroughs

▶ GaN Power Devices

• Vs. Silicon MOSFETs:
  • 60% lower switching losses
  • 3x faster switching speed
• Thermal management solution: Our AlN substrates enable 15% better heat dissipation

▶ Dynamic Voltage Scaling

• Field data from our smart power modules:
