In the perception of Chinese consumers, dehumidifiers are still a relatively niche household appliance. According to survey data, in the global market, especially in developed countries in Europe and America, dehumidifiers are basically essential for mid to high end households, and the popularity rate of household dehumidifiers has already exceeded 30%. In Asia, the penetration rate of Japan and South Korea is 28%, and that of Taiwan, China is 68%, while that of mainland China is only 2.4%.

In traditional concepts, dehumidifiers have always been considered only for drying air and solving moisture problems. But in fact, the functions of dehumidifiers are not limited to this:

1. It can effectively reduce indoor humidity, make the human body feel comfortable, and reduce the occurrence of diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia, bronchitis, asthma, etc;
2. Dehumidifiers can effectively reduce the growth of mold and other bacteria. High humidity environments are a breeding ground for various bacteria to rapidly reproduce. If the humidity is below 60%, bacteria and harmful microorganisms will be significantly reduced;
3. The dehumidification function effectively protects furniture, food, medicine, books from mold and spoilage, and protects household appliances, computers, cameras, instruments and equipment from moisture damage;
4. The dehumidifier can effectively and quickly dry clothes. When the dehumidifier is turned on in humid weather, the clothes will dry overnight.

Starting from the 21st century, the country's main enterprises producing dehumidifiers have exported a total of over 200000 units. In the following five years, it rapidly increased to 2.05 million units. Back then, the total sales volume in China was 2.5 million units, of which nearly 96% were used for exports. It has to be said that China has taken a new step up the ladder in the past five years.

The Chinese market has a history of several decades, but dehumidifiers have always been in their initial state, with various brands of varying quality. In the increasingly fierce competition in the dehumidifier industry, many small and medium-sized enterprises, whether in terms of funding or technological level, are inferior to large-scale factories. Some have suffered heavy losses, and in order to survive and develop, they often resort to the dangerous act of using fake numbers, leading to the phenomenon of shoddy products being used as good ones on the market, causing consumers to suffer greatly. The inaction of law enforcement agencies not only leaves consumers with no way to complain, but also hinders the development of China's dehumidifier industry.
