Success in China for the scrapping of household appliances

An average incentive of 160 euros (20% of the average market price) led to a 45% growth in sales of refrigerators and washing machines From August to the end of September, 5.1 million families received incentives worth 6.4 billion yuan (830 million euros), according to data from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce reported by the state agency Xinhua,sales of household appliances in China rose to 33.5 billion yuan (4.34 billion euros). The incentive was therefore worth 19% of the average list price of the goods purchased.

Growth compared to the same months of last year was 45% in the categories involved (mainly air conditioners, washing machines and refrigerators).

It should be noted that some local governments such as Hubei Province and the cities of Shanghai and Chongqing have participated in the program by expanding the categories covered at their own expense and incorporating dishwashers, water purifiers and floor cleaning robots.
