Samsung Electronics Co., South Korea’s top electronics company, said Monday that it has posted a firm gain in the North American home appliance market in 2013 on the back of its premium line-ups.

The Asian tech giant said its sales in the home appliances sector have jumped 14 percent on-year since 2008 in the North American market. The company, however, did not give details on the exact sales figures.

Samsung attributed the year’s strong performance to its premium home appliances line-ups such as refrigerators and ovens aimed at consumers there.

Among its top line-ups, the company said its 36-inch-wide T9000 refrigerator gained popularity among North American consumers with its broad storage space for large-sized groceries.

Samsung also said its has sold around 1,000 units of its four-door refrigerator with sparkling water dispenser every month since its launch in the North American market in February. (Yonhap News)
