From 2018 to 2022, imports of electric storage heating radiators into China have been on a clear declining trend. Import volumes decreased significantly year-on-year: from 15.63 thousand kilograms in 2018 to 1.69 thousand kilograms by 2022. This represents an average annual decrease (CAGR) over the five-year period of approximately -35.2%. The data for 2023 is unavailable, but the prior trend suggests continued reduction in import levels.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of China’s increasing emphasis on renewable energy and sustainable technology, which may influence the demand for energy-efficient heating solutions.
Potential shifts in domestic manufacturing that could reduce reliance on imports as local production technologies improve.
Changes in consumer preferences and regulations regarding home energy use and efficiency that could alter import patterns.
