In China, February and March are usually off-peak sales months seasons. However, price increases were recently seen for many household electrical appliances. According to a report from China Central Television (CCTV) Financial Channel, a salesperson in one household electrical appliance shopping mall in Shanghai stated that many air conditioners have increased in price, or were about to raise their prices. Another salesperson in a household electrical appliance shopping mall remarked that air conditioners have seen the largest scale of price increases, followed by washing machines and refrigerators. And there is also the possibility of continuous future price increases. Industry insiders verified that the main reason behind increased household electrical appliance prices is the rapid increase in costs of raw materials, such as copper, aluminum, and plastics. In addition, labor and logistics costs have also risen.
