logo Growth Drivers

  • Growing demand for cost-effective bedding products to propel market growth

The global electric blankets market is projected to grow owing to the growing demand amongst the consumer group for cost-effective bedding products. Electric blankets are designed so that they can provide warmth to the consumer by using lesser energy as compared to traditional heating measures The growing focus on energy conservation and achieving energy efficiency, the demand for electric blankets is surging rapidly, especially in regions that suffer from extremely low temperatures and areas that do not have proper infrastructure that allows them to use traditional methods of heating a room. This has led to an overall increase in energy and cost-efficient bedding products like electric blankets. Furthermore, the changing lifestyles of the users allow them to experiment with the day-to-day products and since electric blankets are significantly new, they are currently attracting a lot of attention.

logo Restraints

  • Safety concerns to restrict market expansion

Electric blankets are powered by electricity. In case they are not used properly or precautionary measures are not followed, they can be harmful especially if they are being used by children or elderly citizens. Although modern electric blankets are designed to minimize any risk of electric shock, there are other factors that can impact the blanket's performance. For instance, overheating and the absence of ground fault protection. The growing concerns over the safety of the blankets are projected to restrict market expansion.

logo Opportunities

  • Product innovation and differentiation to provide growth opportunities

One of the leading characteristics of the global industry is the constant effort toward product innovation and differentiation. This trend has given rise to intense competition in the market, the result of which are improvements in product deliverables. This aspect provides market players with an opportunity to enhance product quality by adding new features, designs, and safety protocols. For instance, manufacturers can make use of wireless connectivity to regulate the heating process in such blankets.

logo Challenges

  • Competition from alternatives to challenge market growth

Electric blankets are relatively new in the bedding industry and along with internal competition, they also faced opposition from the availability of other alternatives like comforters, traditional blankets, space heaters, and other devices that can provide heat. These alternatives may be cheaper and still provide the same result as electric blankets. Furthermore, certain segments of the consumer group may believe electric blankets as just fancy products without any actual use. It is difficult to change the perception and is time-consuming.
