Half of washing machine is facing elimination

It is understood that this standard was approved by the relevant national authorities in June this year. The new energy efficiency standard will replace the “Energy Constrained Value and Energy Efficiency Rating of Electric Washing Machines” issued in 2004 and implemented on May 1, 2005. Although the new standard is still The implementation of five levels of energy efficiency, but has a significant increase in energy efficiency standards, and now the level of energy-efficient washing machines, can only become an entry-level product.

According to the statistics of Aowei, according to the current standards, most of the washing products currently sold on the market are above Class II. Among them, nearly 50% of Washing Machines are secondary energy efficiency products, while most of the products are primary products. However, because the new energy efficiency standard to be implemented and the original standard have been greatly modified in the definition of the standard, and some requirements such as rated capacity and water use efficiency grade have been increased, even if the drum washing machine is currently at the level of the first-level energy efficiency, there is still considerable Some products may not meet the new standards. Industry sources said that after the implementation of the new energy standard, this part of the products that did not meet the requirements will inevitably be included in the phase-out range. According to preliminary statistics, half of the Washing Machine Washers and about 60% of the Washing Machines are not able to meet the new standard requirements. Conditions that cannot be sold in the market.

Industry sources also said that in fact, in the fourth quarter of last year, the new energy efficiency standards are already in the process of formulation. For enterprises, there is a transitional period, and product layouts will be planned in advance. Products that do not meet the new energy efficiency standards will be cleared ahead of time, and are in compliance with the new The target product will immediately follow, so basically there will be no market interruption.

It is worth noting that the new standard has increased the energy-saving and water-saving efforts of washing machine products, not only can promote industrial upgrading, but also become a tool for industry reshuffling. At present, there are more than 100 washing machine companies in China. Compared with other large white electric appliances, the concentration of the washing machine industry is relatively low. The market share of the top three companies in the first half of this year was 46%, and there is room for industrial integration.
