Leading Chinese air conditioner manufacturers are working around the clock to keep pace with surging demand for portable split air conditioners, following record-breaking heatwaves that gripped Europe.
Europe has long maintained a low overall air-conditioning penetration rate due to factors such as building preservation considerations and high installation costs.
Beyond air conditioners, a wide range of Chinese-made cooling products—from fan-equipped sun hats and handheld fans to cooling blankets—are also gaining popularity across European markets.
These user-friendly products are helping to fill key gaps in the regional market, meeting the urgent needs of residents amid the extreme heat.
