The role of sustainability in the purchase intention of small kitchen appliances : the Benelux case

Abstract

Small kitchen appliances are integral parts of our households, and many businesses started to introduce kitchen appliances in the market with sustainable features. This is why more and more consumers want their households to be sustainable in terms of consumptions and they care about the materials of the appliances standing for instance. However, there are few studies on the purchase intention of sustainable small kitchen appliances. For this reason, this dissertation aims at understanding what are the main drivers, barriers, and potential user profiles when it comes to the adoption of sustainable small kitchen appliances for Benelux consumers. After an overview on the market dynamics and a brief competitive benchmark analysis, a literature review has been conducted, then a research framework has been built. Interviews have been used to develop hypotheses as a way of answering to the research questions of this dissertation while an online questionnaire has been created to collect data to be subsequently analyzed. The results show that brand image, energy efficient features and price considerations are key for Benelux consumers. Also, relevant considerations are done based on consumers’ gender, age, and education. Finally, some managerial implications are highlighted for small kitchen appliance companies. Os pequenos eletrodomésticos de cozinha são partes integrantes das todas as casas, e muitas empresas já começaram a introduzir no mercado eletrodomésticos de cozinha sustentáveis. Consequentemente, cada vez mais consumidores querem garantir que as suas casa aparentam um carácter sustentável e ganham preocupação com os materiais dos eletrodomésticos, por exemplo. No entanto, existem poucos estudos sobre a intenção de compra de pequenos eletrodomésticos de cozinha sustentáveis. Por essa razão, este estudo pretende perceber quais são os principais impulsionadores, barreiras e potenciais perfis de utilizadores no que se trata à adoção de pequenos eletrodomésticos de cozinha sustentáveis pelos consumidores de Benelux. Após analisar a visão geral sobre a dinâmica do mercado e uma breve análise comparativa da concorrência, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura e consequentes perguntas para a pesquisa. Entrevistas qualitativas foram utilizadas para desenvolver hipóteses para responder às perguntas de pesquisa, enquanto um questionário online quantitativo recolheu dados que mais tarde foram analisados. Os resultados mostram que a imagem da marca, as características de eficiência energética e as considerações de preço são fundamentais para os consumidores do Benelux. Além disso, são feitas considerações relevantes com base no género, idade e educação dos consumidores. Concluindo, são destacadas algumas implicações para gestão para as empresas de pequenos eletrodomésticos de cozinha.
