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.
