    Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Panasonic Marketing Middle East & Africa (PMMAF) today revealed that it is all geared up for another year of exceptional growth and expansion, building on an impressive business performance in 2023.  The company unveiled its action plan for the new fiscal year highlighting targeted investments to expand market presence through strategic partnerships, product diversification, sustainability and genuine customer-centricity. Aligned with its unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, Panasonic is also moving into its next transformative chapter with key promotions in its senior leadership team, further expanding its capabilities to meet the rapidly growing demand for cutting-edge technologies across the MEA region.

    Japan Excellence

    With its rich heritage of developing long-lasting, reliable products that stand the test of time, the brand’s legacy ensures that Panasonic remains a trusted name, synonymous with durability and excellence in every product it creates, embodying ‘Japan Excellence’.

    To meet the specific needs of customers in the region, Panasonic concentrates on four key pillars of Japan Excellence: Food & Health, Hygiene & Cleanliness, Natural Beauty, and Craftsmanship. 

    • Celebrating Japan’s food culture and prioritizing innovative solutions that promote healthy living and enhance culinary experiences, the brand ensures that its kitchen supports a nutritious lifestyle and elevates the joy of cooking. 
    • Committing to enhanced hygiene & cleanliness with tough-style vacuum cleaners, washer dryers and front-load washing machines that help customers uphold high standards of cleanliness effortlessly.
    • Maintaining natural beauty is reflected through self-care promoted through personal care and garment care products with advanced technologies. 
    • Rooted in a tradition of meticulous craftsmanship, Panasonic ensures that every product embodies the quality for which Japan is renowned, evident in its precision blade shavers and high picture quality televisions. This dedication to craftsmanship guarantees that customers receive durable, high-quality products that offer exceptional performance and longevity.

    Through these four pillars, Panasonic aims to deliver tailored solutions that address the unique preferences and requirements of its regional customers, upholding the esteemed values of ‘Japan Excellence.’

    Record Results For 2023

    Panasonic presented its competitiveness strategy at its annual regional convention held in Dubai, which also saw the global electronics giant reveal its business performance for FY2023.  Last year marked a significant milestone for Panasonic, with growth recorded across product segments. Leading the top-performing products last year are men’s grooming devices Multishape and the premium Lamdash Shaver, which yielded 168% growth over last year’s sales.  The “Nutri Tafreez” refrigerator series, which preserves food hygienically with its quick-freezing feature, meanwhile, registered an impressive 140% annual growth.

    FY2024 At A Glance

    While PMMAF saw a successful year FY2023 in business, insights into the company’s FY2024 trajectory shows that the best is yet to come. Laying out the framework for another double-digit target this year, the company affirms its commitment to the MEA region, citing the Middle East and Africa as a high-growth market.  Its 2024 strategy hinges on four primary pillars: market expansion through strategic partnerships, product diversification, sustainability initiatives and enriched customer experience.

    To further drive the company’s growth expectations for the region and to respond to both market and customer demands faster, a couple of significant changes have been made in PMMAF’s senior leadership team.  It will see, Mr. Hiroyuki Shibutani, take a new position of CEO, and Mr. John Hardy, move to the role of COO, which is a newly created position. This development mirrors Panasonic’s core principle of embracing positive change and reinvention to drive the business forward and thrive in an evolving landscape.

    Mr. Shibutani, commenting on the sidelines of the event, said:  “We are delighted with the momentum that we have seen over the past years and we are genuinely pleased that we have come this far by staying true to our values and fulfilling our main objectives. Panasonic’s ability to navigate through the needs of the changing times, while adhering to our core business philosophy – that is to help our customers live better and healthier lives – is at the heart of everything we have achieved in this region.”

    Mr. Hardy, asserted: “Our prospects for 2024 and beyond for the Middle East and Africa remain positive.  It brings us further optimism to stay committed to serving the regional market as we continue to align our strategies and offer cutting-edge technologies keeping the needs of our customers in mind.  We at PMMAF have a renewed drive to lead the future, and as we carry out our growth plans, we will build on our over a century of market-leading innovations to position our business and our brand for our next era of growth.  Equally important, we are placing an even sharper focus on our sustainability goals.  Our commitment is clearer than ever – create added value for our customers, partners, stakeholders and society.”

    With sustainability as a fundamental pillar of Panasonic’s growth strategy, the company will accelerate further its already strong stance supporting positive initiatives that champion environmental protection and the optimum wellbeing of current and future generations.  The company was founded over 100 years ago with a vision focused on overall social good and prosperity. To this day, sustainability remains a core tenet of Panasonic’s philosophy.  Its brand action slogan, “Create Today.
