What can we learn from a company growing at 20% in a stagnant market? 🚀

The small appliance industry has averaged 1% growth over the last 17 years. Yet, SharkNinja has been growing at a CAGR of 20%.

I was reading about their strategy today, and one story stuck with me:

Engineers went into consumers' homes and watched them vacuum. They saw people flipping their vacuums over and using scissors to cut tangled hair off the brush roll. Consumers thought this was "normal." SharkNinja saw it as an opportunity.

18 months later, the "Anti-Hair Wrap" vacuum was born. It became a best-seller.

💡 My takeaway as a manufacturing partner:

As a B2B supplier in the kitchen appliance sector, it's easy to get lost in specs, molds, and FOB prices. But the real value we bring to our clients isn't just "assembling parts."

It's about Obsessive Empathy.

At our facility, we are trying to shift our mindset from "Does it pass the durability test?" to "Does it solve the user's hidden struggle?"

Whether it's the angle of a blender handle or the noise level of an air fryer, we believe that manufacturing excellence starts with understanding the end-user.

We don't just want to build your products; we want to help you build products that consumers really love.

Let's discuss: How do you validate a new product idea before mass production? Do you rely more on data or direct observation? 👇
