Samsung home appliances are becoming increasingly popular with young people, particularly those interested in smart technology and luxury. This trend is driven by the desire for convenience, efficiency, and a touch of sophistication in their daily lives. **Detailed Text:**
The allure of Samsung home appliances is undeniable, particularly among the younger generation.
The rise of home appliances has been a gradual process, with its roots in the Industrial Revolution. The first home appliances were simple, basic tools, like the washing machine and the vacuum cleaner. These early models were often bulky and expensive, making them inaccessible to most households. However, the 20th century saw a dramatic shift in the home appliance landscape.

This preference for luxury appliances is particularly pronounced among Gen Z, who are more likely to be influenced by social media trends and aspirational lifestyles. This trend is further fueled by the desire for status and exclusivity, a desire that is amplified by the generation’s early exposure to the internet and social media. The internet has created a culture of instant gratification and constant connectivity, leading to a heightened sense of urgency and a desire for the latest and greatest.

“Our Samsung Australians @ Home Report: 2024 Smart Living Edition reveals Millennials and Gen Z are leading the charge in redefining what it means to own and showcase home appliances,” said Jeremy Senior, Vice President – Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Australia. “These insights demonstrate a clear generational divide. While energy savings are crucial for everyone, younger generations prioritise sleek design and smart AI functionality.” Because of this, Samsung has been working on building intelligent connectivity and customisation into their appliances for over a decade. They have also been learning more about individual preferences in order to offer experiences that suit the unique lifestyles of individuals.
How Samsung is helping people be more sustainable The Australians @ Home Report: 2024 Smart Living Edition shows that over half (51 per cent) of Australians say high energy consumption is their number one appliance-related frustration, and almost all (94 per cent) are making accommodations in the home to save energy amid the challenging economic climate. [7] Samsung’s SmartThings app bridges the gap between aesthetics and practicality by seamlessly connecting users to their appliances and allowing appliances to interact with each other. The app, alongside features like SmartThings Energy [9], helps balance style and efficiency and makes it easier for people to commit to sustainable practices in their modern homes.
These appliances are designed to be highly efficient, using cutting-edge technology to minimize energy waste. The Bespoke AI Heat Pump combo, for instance, utilizes a smart thermostat and AI-powered algorithms to optimize heating and cooling based on individual needs and preferences. This intelligent system learns from user behavior and adjusts the system accordingly, ensuring optimal energy efficiency.
This generation is making significant efforts to reduce energy consumption. They are actively engaging in practices that minimize their environmental impact.
“While almost half of Australians (47 per cent) have told Samsung that AI-enabled features are a priority when it comes to new appliances, it’s Gen Z Australians who are really pushing the boundaries of what’s expected from their home appliances.” [13] “This generation can see the potential for appliances with AI technologies to empower them to take control of things that matter most to them, such as energy management and food waste reduction. Samsung is invigorated by Australian consumers’ appetite for stylish, connected and customisable appliances, and looks forward to continuing to provide solutions that can reshape industry standards”, Jeremy Senior says.
