[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Due to the impact of COVID-19, the number of people preparing meals at home has increased, leading to a significant rise in demand for food waste disposers.


According to Electronic Land on the 19th, sales of food waste disposers from May to the 15th of this month increased by 257% compared to the same period last year. It is analyzed that the prolonged rainy season and heat waves this year, along with more time spent at home due to COVID-19, have led to an increase in consumers wanting to maintain a pleasant kitchen environment.



An Electronic Land official said, “The trend of consumers opening their wallets generously if it brings convenience to their lives is becoming increasingly clear,” adding, “The scope of essential home appliances is now expected to gradually expand to include air purifiers, dishwashers, dryers, clothing care devices, and food waste disposers.”
