[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Electronic Land announced on the 28th that sales of massage chairs and health devices increased this fall due to growing interest in health management during the changing seasons.


According to Electronic Land's home appliance sales survey, from the 1st to the 20th of last month, sales of massage chairs and health devices increased by 26% and 19%, respectively, compared to the same period last year.


Electronic Land analyzed that this fall's temperature patterns differed from previous years, leading to an increase in consumers paying more attention to health management. In October, the weather became rapidly colder, while in November, daytime temperatures were warmer than usual with large temperature differences between day and night, increasing the demand for health management among consumers sensitive to environmental changes.


Massage chairs and health devices help relieve tension and maintain good condition, attracting consumers who want to manage their health during the changing seasons. Major home appliance manufacturers continue to release new products with enhanced convenience features such as dual massage modules, body composition measurement, Bluetooth speakers, and voice recognition.



An Electronic Land official stated, “The number of customers pursuing enjoyable health management is increasing, and health appliances that help easily recharge condition at home are gaining attention,” adding, “One reason is that consumers have started to rely on appliances to fulfill their values.”
