China's washing machine drying standard is expected to be introduced this year

In the past year, as a representative of high-end washing machines, the emergence of washing and drying machines stirred the market and attracted Chinese and foreign manufacturers of washing machines to enter the field. In 2006, with the introduction of the national drying standard, the dryer integrated dryer may actually usher in market eruptions.

The national standard is expected to be introduced during the year

If successful, national standards for washing machine drying are expected to be introduced this year.

According to experts from the China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute, the hospital has already begun to organize relevant experts to demonstrate that the promulgation and implementation of washing machine drying standards have been put on the agenda, and the fastest is expected to be introduced within this year.

According to the competition situation in the market and the analysis of experts, the future drying standards may redefine and regulate the two major issues in the industry.

The first is the drying time. According to reports, most of the current drying washing machines in the market use the timer drying principle. It is also necessary to manually adjust the drying time. Once set, they must be operated according to a fixed time mode. This can easily lead to sometimes baking and sometimes drying of clothes. Consumers need to perform real-time hand measurements in order to check the progress of clothes drying. This pattern obviously does not meet the consumer's need to “wash and wear” the dryer. "pursue.

The drying temperature is also expected to appear in this national standard. Some experts explained that traditional dryers use mechanical constant temperature timers for drying. The drying principle is to use constant temperature drying technology. No matter how dry or wet the clothes, they are all at a fixed temperature. Clothing can easily damage fibers, discolor, and bake. The more you dry, the faster your clothing is damaged. In addition, this type of dryer has only one drying mode. The drying temperature is 80°C/120°C. Due to the limitation of the drying temperature, the cotton and chemical fiber must be separately dried, which is very troublesome.

Market will step into the watershed

Analysis of the industry, drying the introduction of national standards will undoubtedly play a huge role in the promotion of washing machine market. In particular, after the trial launch in 2005, the washing and drying machine market is expected to usher in a new round of market eruption this year.

In 2005, Haier, LG, Samsung, Electrolux and other manufacturers launched a variety of products to seize market opportunities. At the same time, some domestic manufacturers of washing and drying machine production base have also been put into production, washing machine market began to enter the era of scale expansion.

Just as the washing machine began to bid farewell to the market introduction period in 2003 and entered the blow-out development phase in one fell swoop, in 2006, it would be a watershed for the washing and drying machine. After the exploratory product launched in 2005, it was washed out in 2006. One machine will truly usher in the dual peaks of market production and sales.

According to reports, in the international market, drying drum washing machines have become the mainstream of consumption, and the penetration rate in Canada is as high as 80%. In Japan, the market share of drying drums has risen from 3% two years ago to 18%, but sales The amount has risen to 55%, and sales in 2004 increased by 124% from the previous year. In the Chinese market, the washing and drying machine is also a new product. According to the latest survey, 60.7% of consumers expect the drum washing machine to have a drying function, but sales figures from mainstream home appliance stores indicate that the ratio of washing and drying machine to drum sales has reached four major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. 15%, but only 8% in other cities.
