Australia Refrigerator Market Synopsis

The Australia Refrigerator Market is positioned for steady growth, supported by expanding household formation and stronger regulatory pull toward high-efficiency models. Lone-person households increased in 2024, expanding the number of independent dwellings requiring standalone refrigeration. Family households also rose from 2021, adding further first-purchase and replacement demand across compact, mid-size, and multi-door segments.

At the same time, tightening energy standards and rising electricity costs are accelerating the shift toward high-efficiency refrigerators. Updated MEPS regulations are phasing out low-efficiency units, while older refrigerators make upgrades economically compelling. Newer four- and five-star models use nearly half the energy, making running-cost savings more visible and driving faster replacement of old units. Together, demographic expansion and regulatory pressure reinforce a stable growth trajectory for Australia’s refrigerator market.

According to 6Wresearch, Australia Refrigerators Market revenues is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% and volume at CAGR 5.2% respectively during 2025-2031. The expanding residential and hospitality sectors are driving growth in the Australia refrigerator market. As of June 2025, some dwellings are under construction, including new houses, alongside a Build-to-Rent pipeline of apartments and federal programs delivering completed homes with some more underway, ensuring sustained household formation and steady demand for essential kitchen appliances.

Simultaneously, the hospitality sector is recovering, with national hotel occupancy reaching more in December 2024, international arrivals at pre-pandemic levels, and airline seat capacity rising YoY in 2025. The addition of new hotel rooms and some under construction intensifies back-of-house and in-room equipment needs, further reinforcing refrigerator market growth.

Market Segmentation By Door Type

French-door refrigerators are set to record the highest growth rate by 2031 because they align with Australia’s clear premiumisation trend: households are shifting toward larger formats, smart features, and high-efficiency designs. As income levels rise and kitchens modernize, consumers increasingly prefer spacious, feature-rich models, making French-door units the fastest-expanding segment.

Market Segmentation By Freezer Location

Bottom-freezer refrigerators are expected to post the highest growth rate by 2031 because they align perfectly with Australia’s long-term shift toward mid-premium, convenience-centric appliances. Rising adoption of energy-efficient designs, increasing upgrades from basic top-mount units, and broader availability of smart, flexible-capacity variants position bottom-freezer formats as the preferred choice for households.

Market Segmentation By Distribution Channel

Online channels are expected to post the highest growth rate by 2031 because Australian consumers are increasingly shifting toward digital-first appliance purchasing, driven by transparent price comparison, wider SKU availability, and faster delivery options. Growing adoption of mobile commerce, deeper discounting during major sale events, and the rise of omnichannel models from retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, and The Good Guys further accelerate online conversions.
