Summary

The history of vacuum cleaners in China can be traced back to the late 20th century, when the country was undergoing rapid economic development and opening up to the world. Early vacuum cleaners in China were imported from other countries, such as the United States and Europe, and were primarily used in commercial settings, such as hotels and offices. In the decades that followed, the Chinese economy continued to grow, and vacuum cleaners became more widely available and affordable for the general public. This led to an increase in their popularity, and by the early 21st century, vacuum cleaners had become a common household appliance in China. Today, the vacuum cleaner market in China is highly competitive, with a wide range of products available to suit different needs and budgets. The industry is dominated by several major international manufacturers, including Dyson, Bissell, and Shark, as well as several local Chinese brands, such as Xiaomi and Roborock that offer competitively priced vacuum cleaners.

According to the research report "China Vacuum Cleaner Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to add USD 1.63 billion by 2028. With the rise in population and urbanisation, there has been an increase in demand for appliances that save time and make housecleaning easier and more comfortable. A sustainable lifestyle causes a shift in consumption patterns and an increase in household appliance expenses. As a result, for the vacuum industry to grow, there is a need for customary development and innovation, with the understanding that these innovations must adhere to efficiency and environmental-friendly provisions. Newer technology will also address battery life issues, causing demand for vacuum cleaners to rise. Vacuum cleaners are in high demand due to their cost-effectiveness, safety, efficiency, high accessibility to small areas, and automation in cleaning. The rise in disposable income and increase in the working population, combined with high purchasing power and the ease of operation of vacuum cleaners, are expected to drive demand for vacuum cleaners even further.

By application type, the vacuum cleaner market is segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial. The rising number of allergy and asthma cases caused by dust and dirt in residential settings, combined with the need to keep homes disease-free, are expected to drive demand for residential vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, the increasing availability of advanced products that can efficiently capture the smallest of impurities is driving the market in residential applications.

By product type, the market is segmented into canister, robotic, upright, dry, wet, central, and others. Currently, canister vacuum cleaners are dominating the market because they work well on all types of flooring; they dominate the vacuum cleaner market in China. Generally, canister vacuum cleaners also offer more suction and greater airflow. During the forecasted period, demand for robotic vacuum cleaners is expected to rise. In response to COVID-19, new cleaning requirements and demands have emerged in order to free up the human workforce for other duties, particularly in hospitals. As a result of such demands, the commercial sector has been forced to adopt autonomous or robotic vacuum cleaners. Automatic charging, the smart home trend, and voice-activated commands powered by digital voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant are all enticing residential clients and end-users. Furthermore, advanced features like navigation technology, voice control, and remote control enable these devices to save users time and reduce the need for human assistance.
By Corde type, the vacuum cleaner market is segmented into cordless vacuum cleaners and corded vacuum cleaners. Cordless vacuum cleaners, also known as stick vacuums, are free from the frustrating faff of cords. They're lightweight, easy on the back, and run on rechargeable batteries. Corded vacuums are plugged into the mains power, so they generally have stronger suction power and give better results, particularly on carpets. Currently the market is dominated by corded vacuum cleaners, but during the forecast period the market is expected to be dominated by cordless vacuum cleaners due to the fact that cordless vacuum cleaners work on batteries and offer better portability and convenience when compared with corded vacuum cleaners. Moreover, battery-powered or cordless vacuum cleaners tend to be safer than vacuum cleaners with cords and provide more flexibility, making them extremely agile.

The market is segmented by distribution channel into online and offline; currently, the offline segment dominates the market for vacuum cleaners in China, but during the forecast period, the online segment is expected to dominate the market for vacuum cleaners in China due to an increase in internet penetration, the rise of use of smart phones, and ease of booking and ease of delivery, which are some of the factors expected to drive the online distribution channel. Some online portals are also used for the distribution of vacuum cleaners in China, including Alibaba.com, Made-in-China.com, DHgate.com, Aliexpress.com, and ChinaBrands.com
Some of the main manufacturing bases for vacuum cleaners in China include Suzhou, Jiangsu, Ningbo, Zhejiang, Jinhua, Zhejiang, Shenzhen, Guangdong, Guangzhou, and Guangdong. These are some of the main manufacturing bases of vacuum cleaners in China, and there are some online portals also for distribution of vacuum cleaners in China, including Alibaba.com, Made-in-China.com, DHgate.com, GlobalSources.com, Aliexpress.com, and ChinaBrands.com.

The growing awareness of the advantages of vacuum cleaners, such as time efficiency, energy savings, and convenience, promotes the demand for vacuum cleaners. Along with this rapid urbanization, an increase in disposable income, an improved standard of living, a rise in the population of working women, and a surge in dependence on technology boost the demand for vacuum cleaners.
Vacuum cleaners are hefty, bulky machines that are usually hard to move around the home. Regardless, in the case of an upright vacuum cleaner, it is almost impossible to move up and down stairs. The vacuum cleaner was manufactured in a fairly large size, although it was not heavy. Moving and keeping the device will require a large space.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Xiaomi launched its first corded vacuum cleaner, aptly named the MIJIA Vacuum Cleaner, in November 2020. The product arrived with a decent 199-yuan price tag. Almost two years later, the Chinese tech giant has now launched a replacement model known as the MIJIA Vacuum Cleaner 2. The new model retains the 199 yuan ($27) price tag of its predecessor while coming with a number of new features. The MIJIA Vacuum Cleaner 2 also comes with an upgraded cyclone suction duct equipped with a 600W high-performance motor. It adopts a new structure that optimises the suction duct as well as the dust-removing cyclone tower to achieve a hurricane suction of up to 16 kPa.

Some of the main manufacturers of vacuum cleaners in China include Suzhou AZA Clean Electric Technology Co., Ltd., Dongguan VILLO Technology Inc., Kingclean Electric Co., Ltd., Ningbo Baofumei Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong BONA Robot Co., Ltd., Xiamen Amtidy Intelligent Household Appliance Co., Ltd., Shaoxing Shangyu Saige Motor Co., Ltd., and Hangzhou Behelder Technology Co., Ltd.

COVID 19 IMPACT
The COVID-19 outbreak has boosted the overall growth of the vacuum cleaner market. During the lockdown, people chose to replace their old appliances with smart and advanced ones. Furthermore, as the number of COVID-19 cases increased, people were compelled to stay at home, so they actively spent on household appliances to gain more comfort. As a result, COVID-19 has had a positive impact on the overall growth of the vacuum cleaner market.
