The development of the Chinese household appliance industry in the past 40 years “wasn’t all plain sailing,” said Zhipu Yu, senior trade commissioner of CCCME.
Currently China has the world’s largest capacity in refrigerators, television sets, microwave ovens, air conditioners, mobile phones and some small household electrical appliances, while China has become the largest market for household appliances, he added.
According to Jens Heithecker, executive director of IFA, more than 150 exhibitors from China would present their latest products at this year’s IFA.
“It’s not only about the number of exhibitors, the number of the companies. It’s about the quality of products, quality of brand communication that these chinese companies are doing,” he said.
According to staff at China Brand Show, products of the highest level of today’s Chinese electronic home appliances research and development, design, engineering and manufacture can be seen at this IFA fair.
