Weekly report of household appliance industry: household appliance consumption was slightly weak in April, and domestic sales of air conditioners increased slightly year-on-year

Core view

Special topic of this week: 1) the epidemic affected the decline of demand in April, and the consumption of household appliances was slightly weak. According to the social zero data released by the National Bureau of statistics in April, the retail sales of household appliances and audio equipment in China in April was 59.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 8.1%, and the decline expanded month on month (the growth rate in March was – 4.3%). We believe that the reason is that the epidemic has been repeated in some parts of China since late March, and the offline consumer demand has been restrained. In addition, the epidemic has delayed the delivery of online goods and impeded the logistics and distribution in many places, It has also exacerbated the retail pressure on China’s online consumer goods market. 2) In April, the production of household air conditioners at the shipping end decreased slightly, and the overall sales volume increased slightly. We believe that the main reason is that the repeated epidemic has led to the poor operation of the supply chain, the production rhythm of air conditioner manufacturers has been disrupted, and some enterprises have failed to produce; However, due to the upcoming peak sales season of traditional air conditioners and the increase of high-temperature weather, the sales volume at the supply side still maintained a positive growth.

Investment strategy in 2022: clear the clouds and see the end of the day. Sometimes, the willow is dark and the flowers are bright and the spring is coming.
