日本家電長期以創新技術、耐用度以及精細的人性化設計,在全球市場享有相當高的聲譽,即使價格往往不低,許多消費者仍願意接受「一分錢一分貨」,把家電視為可以使用多年的長期投資。不過,近年日本市場卻出現另一種不同路線,一家品牌商的家電價格只要其他競爭對手的一半,滾筒洗衣機和冰箱售價都壓在10萬日圓以下,背後究竟靠什麼做到,也成為外界關注焦點。

日媒報導,近年Nitori在家電市場快速提高存在感,其低價秘密並不只是削減功能,而是從開發、物流到銷售方式,都與傳統家電業者不同。

據悉,日本大型家電價格動輒20萬、30萬日圓(約新台幣4-6萬元),但家具家居品牌Nitori推出的10公斤滾筒洗脫烘衣機售價不到10萬日圓(約新台幣2萬元),大容量冰箱同樣壓在10萬日圓以下,55吋Mini LED電視甚至只要7萬9900日圓(約新台幣近1.6萬元)。

Nitori Holdings執行董事、家電商品部總經理奧田哲也指出,日本家電市場長期存在製造商與量販店過多、產品差異不明顯的問題,價格競爭甚至可能讓商品上市一年後售價接近腰斬。Nitori則採取「製造、物流、IT、零售」一體化模式,自己參與商品開發,也透過集團物流體系配送與安裝,讓物流成本下降後能直接反映到售價。

2022年起,Nitori在大阪設立家電開發中心,目前整個家電團隊約80人,其中近50人在大阪,從單純向供應商採購商品,進一步轉向共同開發。奧田表示,公司並不是看到市場價格後跟著訂價,而是先決定要以什麼價格讓更多消費者能買得起,再反推產品設計。

以滾筒洗衣機為例,一般市場價格約30萬日圓,Nitori則希望壓到10萬日圓以下,但並非單純為了便宜而刪除基本性能,而是在保留必要功能的前提下,找出不需要的功能並移除。此外,商品尺寸也與成本直接相關。

Nitori的滾筒洗衣機除了便宜,機身也較小,能降低配送成本。由於配送同樣由集團體系負責,節省下來的成本可直接反映在商品售價上。

另一款寬75公分、容量410公升的四門冰箱,開發初期甚至有人認為尺寸太大、難以搬入住家,無法商品化。但開發團隊與負責配送安裝的集團物流公司合作,利用住宅格局圖與等比例模型驗證搬運方式,最後成功推出市場。

Nitori目前家電品項約700至800種,背後採取無自有工廠的Fabless模式,並與約150至200家海外供應商合作。公司認為,真正的優勢並非單純「價格破壞」,而是把商品企劃、供應鏈、物流、門市與售後服務串在一起,藉此降低成本,同時建立與傳統家電廠不同的開發模式。

AI "carrying goods" debuts, global trade evolves

In the first half of 2026, the trade volume of AI-related goods increased by 67% year-on-year, contributing 47% to the growth of global trade in goods. The WTO raised its forecast for the growth rate of global trade in goods in 2026 from 1.9% to 3.9%. Experts point out that AI not only creates an increase in trade, but also changes the division of labor in the industrial chain, trade patterns and cross-border transactions, and brings new challenges such as the digital divide and trade rules.
