According to data from AVCloud, the growth rate of white goods sales has improved significantly since September 2024 due to policy factors, and cumulative data from 2025 indicates that offline channels are driving larger growth.
Tianfeng released a research report stating that, according to data from Oviyun, the growth rate of white goods sales has improved significantly since September 24, driven by policies. Cumulative data for 25 shows that offline channels have a larger impact on sales. In terms of exports, from January to February, exports to Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia markets have shown good growth. The United States market has seen a slight decline in orders due to tariffs, but demand still exists. Currently, exports are mainly routed through Southeast Asia to avoid higher tariffs. In terms of black goods, for exports to the US, short-term tariffs can be avoided by using Vietnamese factories for shipments; in the medium to long term, top brands have a first-mover and scale advantage in global capacity repositioning.
