Household Appliances Pilot Database

The Household Appliances pilot database provides annual data on stock, diffusion and penetration of selected household appliances, including air conditioners, clothes dryers, clothes washers, dish washers, freezers, refrigerator/freezer combinations, refrigerators, and televisions. Data availability is uneven across countries, with gaps in time series and, in some cases, only a limited number of observations available for specific appliances or years.

The dataset aims to offer global coverage where data are available integrating information from the IEA Energy end-uses and efficiency indicators database with additional sources obtained via desk research. It enables cross-country comparisons and tracking of trends in the uptake of key household appliances.

Users are encouraged to provide feedback on data quality and to suggest additional data sources that could help improve coverage and robustness of the database over time.
