According to the total data pushed by AVC, the retail volume of the integrated stove Market in 2021 was 3.04 million units and the retail volume was 25.6 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 28% and 41% respectively.

As the leading enterprise in the integrated stove industry, the company increased R & D investment and rapidly promoted new products during the reporting period; Improve the construction of three-dimensional channels and strengthen brand publicity. Product channels were diversified and optimized, and the sales of integrated stoves of the company increased rapidly.

According to the data of a single quarter, the gross profit margin of Q4 was 44%, a year-on-year decrease of 4.5pp; The net interest rate was 12.8%, down 7.5pp year-on-year.
