In recent years, affected by smog, the sales of air purifiers in China have been increasing year by year

According to the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce, in December 2016, the two hotlines "12315" and "96315" received a total of 60 consumer disputes related to the purchase of air purifiers.

Lack of technology and supervision

Speaking of the above issues, Dai Zizhu, a professor at the Environmental Institute of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said: First, consumers currently have a certain cognitive bias towards air purification equipment

According to the different core components of air purification equipment, there are two main types of core components in 80% of air purifiers on the market.

Third, the pricing system is chaotic and the cost of filter replacement is high

The prices of products with similar purification effects may vary several times, but consumers do not understand the situation and are likely to be misled by products with high prices and big gimmicks

It is necessary to correctly guide consumers to select and use air purifiers, and promote the standardization and rationalization of the market

Finally, companies must invest in scientific research and improve technology

Dai Zizhu believes that to improve the level of product technology is to improve the core competitiveness of an enterprise
.
With the release and implementation of the new "Air Purifier" national standard on March 1, 2016, and the release of the first Chinese environmental labeling standard for air purifiers in January this year, the future market will become more and more standardized, but only companies that master core technologies In order to truly stand tall
