In order to further promote the update and upgrade of key consumer goods, smooth the recycling of resources, and promote the formation of a strong domestic market, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Update and Upgrading of Key Consumer Goods and Unblocked Resource Recycling" on June 6 ( 2019-2020)", which involves promoting the R&D and industrialization of green smart home appliances and supporting the development of energy-saving and smart home appliances.
 
 
At present, the penetration rate of home appliances in my country is already very high, and the number of home appliances per 100 households in urban households tends to be saturated, but there is still room for updating and upgrading, such as green and energy-saving smart home appliances. With the gradual formation of the concept of green life among Chinese residents, green, energy saving, environmental protection, intelligence, etc. have inevitably become factors that affect consumers' purchase of household appliances, and primary and secondary energy efficiency products have become the protagonists of the household appliance market.
 
 
It seems that the transformation of small household appliances in my country has not kept pace with the pace of consumption upgrading, and the development of green and energy-saving household appliances is uneven. Most of the green and energy-saving smart home appliances on the market are major home appliances, such as washing machines, air conditioners, color TVs, refrigerators, etc. Major home appliance companies have successively launched their own green, energy-saving and intelligent products with new technologies and new processes. After all, the cost of research and development of energy-efficient products Higher, the overall price is generally higher. As for the small household appliances involved, due to the low unit price and high replacement frequency, with the development of intelligence, most users will choose to keep pace with the times and add some smart small household appliances to their families, bringing some substantial experience to life. Green energy saving is often ignored, and small home appliance businesses also ignore energy efficiency in consideration of profits.
In fact, the energy consumption of some small appliances is not low, especially those with more intelligent functions. Consumers do not pay much attention to the energy efficiency level of small household appliances when purchasing, but they do not know that small household appliances with a relatively high penetration rate such as rice cookers consume no less power than large household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. For example, an electric rice cooker with a power of 500 watts consumes 0.5 kWh of electricity for 1 hour; a water dispenser with heating and cooling functions consumes more than 1 kWh of electricity per day, while an energy-saving refrigerator with first-class energy efficiency consumes 0.5 kWh of electricity per day. The average power consumption is only about 0.4 degrees. In the wave of environmental protection consumption of household appliances, the power consumption of small household appliances is often ignored by everyone.
 
 
In our daily life, of course, we cannot do without these "power-consuming" small household appliances. It is actually necessary to promote energy-saving and green development of small household appliances. However, they are also "energy-saving, green, and environmentally friendly" home appliances. Large home appliances are generally concerned by consumers. When buying large home appliances, you must look at the energy efficiency labels above. Energy saving and power saving are important criteria for consumers to buy, but small home appliances Not so. Although small home appliance companies have also launched many energy-saving and environmentally friendly products, such as water dispensers that can automatically turn off power to keep warm, energy-saving rice cookers, and induction cookers. In addition, more and more small household appliances such as automatic rice cookers and AC fans are included in the implementation of energy efficiency labels, but consumers are not interested in these high-priced green and energy-saving small household appliances, and their attention has not been high.
 
 
Beginning on February 1 this year, Beijing officially implemented a new round of three-year energy conservation and emission reduction policies to promote consumption. The product categories of this round of policies are based on the 12 categories of TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, water heaters, microwave ovens, range hoods, household gas stoves, toilets, showers, air purifiers, bicycles, etc. stipulated in the previous round of policies. Three categories of commodities, including rice cookers, household induction cooktops and household electric fans, have been added, totaling 15 categories. It can be seen that under the current social consumption transformation trend of comprehensively deepening the concept of environmental protection and energy saving, the environmental protection, energy saving and green low-carbon issues of small household appliances have begun to be paid attention to.
 
 
However, the development of green energy-saving products cannot rely on policy subsidies alone, and requires joint efforts of many parties. For merchants, they can’t just look at immediate benefits, and for consumers, they can’t just look at temporary cheapness. The state encourages more energy-saving technology research and development, and strives to promote the research and development and industrialization of green smart home appliances. It is also to make green and energy-saving home appliances more, better, and more affordable. This is beneficial to enterprises, consumers, the entire home appliance market, and even Is the ecological environment, are meaningful.
