[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Due to the ongoing 'stay-at-home' trend caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, robot vacuum cleaners continue to maintain steady popularity this year.


According to Electronic Land on the 9th, sales of robot vacuum cleaners from January 1 to July 31 this year increased by 102% compared to the same period last year. During the same period last year, sales of robot vacuum cleaners increased by 45% compared to 2019.


The popularity of robot vacuum cleaners is analyzed to reflect consumer demand to reduce household chores as the stay-at-home trend has become the new normal.



An Electronic Land official said, "COVID-19 has created a new trend where products that manage hygiene and offer convenience sell well," adding, "The hygiene home appliance market is expected to continue expanding."
