In 2023, the import volume of self-contained window or wall type air conditioners to China was higher than the projected 559,490 kilograms in 2024. The forecast indicates a significant year-on-year decline, with a decrease of approximately 15.2% in 2025, 17.7% in 2026, 21% in 2027, and 26% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is negative, highlighting a consistent downward trajectory in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include rapid technological advancements in HVAC systems, domestic production capacity, evolving energy efficiency standards, and China's increased emphasis on sustainability, all of which may continue influencing import dynamics negatively.
