Royal Philips announced to review options for future ownership of its domestic appliances business. Philips will create a separate legal structure for this business within the Philips Group, expected to be completed in 12 to 18 months.

In 2019, the domestic appliances business achieved sales of €2.3 billion in kitchen appliances, coffee, garment care, and home care appliances.

We have significantly improved the performance of the Domestic Appliances business over the years, which has made a very important contribution to Philips, however, this business is not a strategic fit for our future as a health technology leader. We are committed to finding a good home for this business to continue to thrive and grow over time, as we expand and invest in our consumer health and professional healthcare-related businesses
Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips

At the same time, Philips’ €3.5 billion personal health businesses will keep on playing an important role in the company’s integrated approach to support the health and well-being of its customers.
