Home-Use Dehumidifier Market in Rainy Season

摘要

While the arrival of the rainy season in Japan marks the high point of the sales season for residential-use dehumidifiers, an unseasonably rainy early spring this year has also provided an initial boost to retail sales. Besides the weather, changing lifestyles are making dehumidifiers more attractive to consumers. The main function of dehumidifiers may be to alleviate discomfort and inhibit the proliferation of mold from cool humid air, but in recent years more consumers are also using dehumidifiers to help dry laundry indoors. In turn, manufacturers are concentrating on developing products that offer a wider range of applications in an effort to generate higher demand.
