Cixi City is one of the heater production bases in China, and the export volume accounts for 30% of the country. In previous years, the peak season for the production of heaters for export ended around mid-September. This year, affected by the international situation, energy crisis and other factors, the use of natural gas in many European countries has been limited, and the demand for various heaters has continued to increase.
In Guanhaiwei Town, Cixi City, a high-tech enterprise is working overtime to produce a batch of portable household heaters. According to the person in charge of the company, the customer of this batch of products is from Germany, and the order of 1 million US dollars signed at the beginning of the year has been shipped, but in August this year, the customer asked for an additional order of 330,000 US dollars.
It is understood that the company exported a total of 1.5 million heaters last year, worth about 17.8 million US dollars. In the first eight months of this year, the company has exported 2 million heaters, worth about 22.8 million US dollars, an increase of nearly 30%.
A similar phenomenon also occurs in other heater export enterprises, a company in Xinpu Town, Cixi City, exported about 160 million yuan of heaters last year, and is expected to exceed 200 million yuan this year, of which more than 20 million yuan of new orders from customers. Xu Songlie, general manager of an electrical appliance company in Cixi, Zhejiang: The European and American markets are our main markets, and the European market accounts for a relatively large amount, accounting for about 70%-80%.
At present, there are more than 100 heater manufacturers in Cixi, and the export volume accounts for 30% of the country. According to customs statistics, in the first eight months of this year, the export of heaters increased significantly, of which exports to the European Union increased by more than 50%.
Cen Na, chief of the first inspection section of Cixi Customs, which belongs to Ningbo Customs, said that from January to August, Cixi heater exports were 3.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.3%, of which 1.53 billion yuan were exported to the European Union, a year-on-year increase of 55.2%.
