Q1 online and offline sales of range hoods in China were – 14% / – 6.6% year-on-year respectively, and online and offline sales of range hoods for gas stoves were – 12.5% / – 4.6% year-on-year respectively. In terms of the overall retail sales of kitchen appliances, emerging kitchen appliances such as dishwashers, integrated stoves and embedded compound machines have played a certain role in boosting the overall performance of kitchen appliances, and the third and fourth tier cities that are relatively less affected by the epidemic generally perform better than the first and second tier markets. According to ovicloud, the retail sales of the new kitchen electric appliance 2022q1 reached 8.02 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%. Although the penetration rate of integrated stoves has gradually increased, especially in 2021 with the continuous emergence of new products and the gradual penetration of consumer education, under the condition of weak market incremental power, there is a certain competitive relationship between integrated stoves and split smoke stoves and other products in the stock market.
