China's home appliance industry is booming. The China Household Electrical Appliance Association is a witness, a participant, and a promoter. Thirty years ago, due to the institutional reform of the state organs and the need for industry management, the China Household Electrical Appliances Association came into being. This was one of the earliest established industry associations from the government management to the industry management. The China Household Electrical Appliance Association is at the right time and shoulders the heavy responsibility. Since then, the China Household Electrical Appliance Association has taken on the responsibility of industry management, and has grown up with the Chinese household appliance industry.

In the past 30 years, the China Household Electrical Appliance Association has always stood at the forefront of the industry, actively promoting and guiding the role with a global perspective, giving play to the role of bridges and the tie between the government and enterprise, maintaining fair competition among the market, reflecting industry demands and improving China's home appliance manufacturing. Comprehensive competitiveness and international competitiveness have made outstanding contributions to the healthy development of the industry. Jiang Feng, chairman of the China Household Electrical Appliance Association, said: 'Since its establishment, the China Household Electrical Appliance Association has insisted on guiding the healthy development of the industry, persisting in promoting technology innovation, adhering to the interests of the industry, adhering to the service of member companies, and strengthening the association's own construction.' Growing up, the China Household Electrical Appliance Association itself has also developed and become a 5A-level community organization with member satisfaction, government recognition, and social demands.

In the 1990s, under the background of the rapid development of reform and opening and the home appliance industry, under the guidance of the policy level, the China Household Electrical Appliance Association led enterprises to use various opportunities to actively explore the development trend of the industry, and in this process the home appliance industry urgently needs to raise awareness and technical level of energy conservation and environmental protection, and adopt specific work such as environmentally friendly refrigerants and energy efficiency rating system, and the results have been remarkable under the concerted efforts of the industry. Thanks to this, when China joined the WTO, when the global home appliance manufacturing industry further developed, China's home appliance industry set off a banner to undertake the transfer of the global home appliance manufacturing industry. Entering the 'Twelfth Five-Year Plan' period, under the leadership of the association, the industry has offered to pursue the goal of 'home appliance big country' to 'home appliance powerful country'. With the advent of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and the era of big data, the Association has built a framework for “intelligent home appliance interconnection standards”. In recent years, the Association has actively carried out group standards construction, established technical conferences, technical committees, and professional committees for sub-products to actively promote technical exchanges and progress in the industry. During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the association also created a world-class exhibition platform such as AWE Appliance& Electronics World Expo, one of the three major home appliances exhibitions in the world.

Since the reform and opening up, China's home appliances have grown from scratch, from small to large, from domestic to international, and are developing from fat to strong. Minister Li Yizhong, former Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and President of the China Federation of Industrial Economics, said in his speech that the 40-year development path of China's household electrical appliance industry is difficult, but the scale, quality and efficiency have achieved excellent results. For example, the quality of Chinese household appliances has generally reached an international level. It can be said that the home appliance industry has become a bright national business card with international competitiveness in China and is a model for China's advanced manufacturing industry.

When talking about the journey of China's home appliance industry since the reform and opening up, Minister Li Yizhong said: 'First, it is full market competition and established a mature market mechanism. The government released the light industry and home appliance industry earlier. The Light Industry Federation, The China Household Electrical Appliances Association has fully played the role of bridges, ties, and platforms, and has played an important role in the industry platform and industry self-discipline. Second, it is to open the country, expand opening, and enhance international competitiveness. Third, how do we face problems? The gaps and severe challenges require scientific research and planning. We are also subject to human beings in core technologies and key technologies. There are still a lot of imbalances and inadequate problems in development.'
