Domestic home appliance sales revenue grew 3.7% from the same period last year, which the company attributed to the success of its newest products, including its water purifiers, BEREX line and Smart Mattress products.

“Coway maintained stable sales revenue and operating profit throughout the first quarter,” said Soon Tae Kim, Coway Chief Financial Officer. “Despite the challenges posed by a global economic recession, we remain committed to achieving stable growth through market share expansion in the global market, innovative product launches, and strategic marketing efforts.”
