Company overview

Hana Kitchenware (China) Co., Ltd. was established in 1994 and is a professional kitchen and bathroom appliance manufacturer jointly invested and led by the Hana brand, a leading kitchen appliance brand in Taiwan. The company primarily produces a range of kitchen and bathroom products including range hoods, gas stoves, disinfection cabinets, and cleaning cabinets. Through continuous technological innovation and strict quality control, Hana Kitchenware has rapidly built a strong brand image upon entering the Chinese mainland market. For many years, Hna Kitchenware has adhered to a 'user-centered' product philosophy, committed to enhancing the kitchen living experience for Chinese families, and has become a key driving force in the domestic kitchen appliance industry…

Research background

In the context of increasingly intense competition in the kitchen appliance market and diversifying consumer demands, Hana Kitchenware aims to conduct systematic user research to deeply understand the lifestyles, kitchen appliance usage habits, and product pain points of different urban consumer groups. This research will serve as a foundation for refining product development strategies to more accurately align with market trends and user needs. Particularly during a new wave of product iteration and upgrades, the company urgently requires first-hand consumer insights to ensure that new product designs achieve genuine breakthroughs in functionality and user experience.

Research scope

In June 2016, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Hana Kitchenware (China) Co., Ltd. to conduct a specialized study on consumer behavior and product demand, covering nine representative cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. The research employed a combination of questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, collecting foundational data on consumer demographics, household structure, kitchen space conditions, usage frequency, purchase motivations, and channel preferences. Additionally, the study focused on identifying user dissatisfaction and unmet needs during the use of key product categories such as range hoods, gas stoves, and disinfection cabinets, exploring critical pain points in current product design, functional practicality, smart features, and maintenance requirements, providing structured user feedback for future product development.

Expected outcomes

This research will provide Hana Kitchenware with a detailed profile of its target consumer groups and an in-depth analysis of market demand trends for kitchen appliances. The findings will help the company accurately define the functional development directions and user value priorities for future product launches. The research outcomes will offer data support across multiple dimensions including product design concepts, functional innovation, ease of use, smart integration, and aesthetic design, enabling the company to achieve differentiated positioning in a fiercely competitive kitchen appliance market and enhance brand loyalty and user retention.
