Wholesale-Electrical Appliances, Tv & Radio Sets

This industry, classified under SIC 5064, comprises wholesalers distributing major and small electrical appliances, televisions, radio sets, and related consumer electronics to big-box retailers, specialty chains, e‑commerce marketplaces, installers, and institutional buyers such as hotels and property managers. Core offerings range from refrigerators, washers, HVAC units, and microwaves to smart TVs, audio systems, antennas, and emerging connected-home devices, often bundled with logistics, financing, and post-sale support services. Operators manage complex global supply chains and must comply with product safety and labeling rules, energy-efficiency and e-waste regulations, import tariffs, and increasingly strict cybersecurity expectations for internet-enabled devices. Key risks include demand swings tied to consumer confidence, fast technology obsolescence, margin pressure from online price transparency, and concentration in a few dominant brands and retailers. Current 2024–2025 trends center on energy-efficient and ESG-friendly product lines, omnichannel fulfillment, and data-driven inventory management.
