The dehumidifier market is plagued by chaos and rampant counterfeiting

The dehumidifier industry has developed in recent years, mainly concentrated in Guangdong and Zhejiang, and the industrial chain has gradually formed. However, the phenomenon of development is worrying. Many companies have deviated from the normal track, and the industry has been led astray by counterfeiting and trafficking. The falsification of dehumidification volume is a common phenomenon, and most consumers are unaware that they have purchased shrunk dehumidifiers. Many consumers still have a limited understanding of the concept of dehumidifiers at the level of water discharge technology, and have little knowledge of the technical quality of the products.

In recent years, small and medium-sized enterprises for dehumidifiers in China have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Currently, there are about a hundred licensed production enterprises and countless brands in China. Most marketing channels and sales methods are mainly concentrated on electronic networks. There are fifty or sixty dehumidifier brands available for sale on Taobao alone. It can be said that most dehumidifiers have false labels for their dehumidification capacity. For more severe cases, the dehumidification capacity is almost less than 50%, and even only about 20% of the dehumidification capacity. Some even shout and catch thieves, accusing others of falsely labeling their own dehumidification capacity. Taobao has become a arena for selling and buying fake products. The government's regulation of the internet is also blank, and it is a shortcoming.

In this free grazing environment, most small and medium-sized factories focus on imitation, lack core technology, and have many manual workshops, resulting in uneven product quality. People are accustomed to the method of "drawing gourds and ladles" for production. In order to save costs, the core components of the dehumidifier are designed to be reduced, such as using iron plates for the motor to reduce the amount of copper wire used; Remove the copper tube from the evaporator condenser, and some may even cut it in half; Reduce the power of the compressor and so on.

Some companies hype up the concept of dehumidifiers, using the characteristics of consumers who are not familiar with the industry and do not know, to exaggerate the promotion, such as the purification function. The biggest point of dehumidifiers is dehumidification. If the air purification function is really added, the air volume will decrease, and dehumidification will be greatly discounted. Due to air obstruction, the dehumidification amount may be reduced to no moisture to remove. In addition, the water tank has been reduced to a smaller size, which appears to be frequently full and has a good dehumidification effect. The aluminum sheet of the evaporator is coated with a soil yellow film, which is called titanium gold, but in fact, it has the same effect as a blue hydrophilic film. Some companies do not have a factory production line, but instead copy someone else's factory production line, and even download similar equipment online for modification and promotion. Some companies may seem to produce everything, but in reality, they are pitifully small. This fearless situation is the result of the market not being effectively regulated.

Now mandatory safety certification, also known as "CCC" certification, is implemented for dehumidifiers. CCC certification only certifies the safety performance of products, and cannot certify the dehumidification capacity and product service life. This creates a loophole for manufacturers who lack integrity. The quality inspection by the quality supervision department only focuses on whether the manufacturer has CCC certification, and in reality, there is no need to go to the factory for inspection. It can be verified online. Many small factories are separated from their registered locations, and even regulation cannot be traced,

Unable to find. Some marketing agencies are located in Guangdong and their production locations are in Zhejiang, which can only be seen online. Some manufacturers only have one or two products that have CCC certification, and they do not do anything else. Instead, they are selling them online, not in the mall, not in the market, and cannot be checked. Therefore, strengthening online supervision is crucial.

Due to the fact that the dehumidifier industry is in its early stages, the unhealthy production methods in the industry will limit and hinder the development of dehumidifiers, making it difficult to achieve a qualitative leap.
