In 2025, sales of built-in appliances declined by 7.3% in value, compared with a 2.8% decline for freestanding appliances (Gifam). And built-in appliances aren’t typically purchased individually: in 80% of kitchen renovations, an average of two large appliances are purchased. However, many retailers price each appliance based on the previous day’s rates and then offer a project discount decided on the spot, without knowing which appliance the discount applies to or what it costs in terms of profit margin.
