After Years Away From Shelves, The Japanese Brand Aiwa Is Back In Brazil With A Line Of Modern Products. The Former Reference Of Sound Devices From The 1990s Now Manufactures Smart TVs, Sound Boxes, And Headphones. The Relaunch Is Done In Partnership With The MK Group, Owner Of Mondial, With National Production In The Free Trade Zone Of Manaus.

Those Who Lived In The 1990s Listened To Music With An Aiwa Device At Home, In The Car, Or On Headphones. The Brand Became Synonymous With Powerful Sound And Modern Design. Now, The Japanese Brand Aiwa Is Betting On The Strength Of This Affective Memory To Return To The Brazilian Market With Full Force — But With A Focus On Much More Than Sound.

The New Phase Of Aiwa Brings A Revamped Portfolio, With Smart TVs Produced In Brazil, In Addition To New Audio Products, Such As Car Radios, Bluetooth Speakers, And Wireless Headphones. All This Under The Command Of The MK Group, Which Also Manages The Mondial Brand And Has A Strong Presence In The Consumer Electronics Sector.

TVs And Audio: The New Products Of The Japanese Brand Aiwa

The Main Bet Of Aiwa’s Return Lies In Smart TVs With A Linux Operating System, Connectivity To Streaming Apps, And Models Ranging From 32 To 55 Inches. All Devices Are Produced In The Free Trade Zone Of Manaus, Focusing On Affordable Cost And Image Quality.

In Addition To TVs, Aiwa Has Also Resumed The Production Of A Complete Line Of Audio Equipment. The Idea Is To Keep The Essence Of The Brand Alive, Which Became Famous For Its “3 In 1” And Mini Systems, But Adapted For Current Times. The New Products Include:

  • Car Radios With Bluetooth And USB Input
  • Wireless Headphones With Noise Cancellation
  • Portable Bluetooth Speakers With Long-Lasting Battery

The Forecast Is That All These Products Will Be Available At Major Retailers And National Marketplaces, With Competitive Prices. The Brand Also Bets On Retro Design And Packaging That Evokes The 1990s, To Reinforce The Feeling Of Nostalgia.

Strategy And National Production

The Return Of The Japanese Brand Aiwa To Brazil Was Made Possible Thanks To A Partnership With The MK Group, Which Handles Production, Distribution, And Technical Support. The Company Installed A Specific Assembly Line Inside Its Factory In Manaus, Which Reduces Logistics Costs And Allows For Rapid Adaptation Of Products To The Demands Of The Brazilian Market.

The Initial Investment In The Project Was Kept Secret, But The Group Expects To Capture Between 5% And 8% Market Share In The Audio And TV Market By 2026. With This, Aiwa Aims To Compete Directly With Brands Such As LG, Samsung, TCL, And Philco, Betting On The Brand’s Emotional Differentiator And Good Cost-Effectiveness.

Nostalgia As A Market Strategy

Reinforcing Affective Memory Is An Essential Part Of The Strategy. To This End, The Japanese Brand Aiwa Is Developing Advertising Campaigns That Mix Scenes From Past Decades With Current Innovations. The Target Audience Is Consumers Aged Between 30 And 50, Who Grew Up Listening To CDs And Cassette Tapes On The Brand’s Old Devices.

According To The CEO Of The MK Group, Brazil Is One Of The Markets Where The Brand Has The Highest Spontaneous Recognition. The Return Of Aiwa Was Already Anticipated By Fans And Collectors, And The Reception On Social Media Since The First Announcements Has Been Extremely Positive.
