欧洲今年遭遇热浪，对中国制冷气机的需求随之大幅上升 [1]。香港智库团结香港基金研究经理何文懿指出，"这次中国製冷气机在欧洲需求大增，说明欧洲对中国大陆产品有相应需求" [1]。分析人士预计，热浪过后欧洲的空调使用将进一步增加，建议中国大陆企业及早部署绿色高能效产品，同时呼吁港商参与其中 [1]。
中国制冷气机能够迅速满足欧洲市场需求，主要得益于珠江三角洲完整的产业链和物流优势 [1]。中欧班列运输仅需10至15天便可抵达欧洲，比传统海运快约20天 [1]。广东珠江三角洲的企业数年前已开始研究欧洲市场需求 [1]。欧洲非常重视环保，对产品的能源效益有严格要求 [1]。
A significant heat wave sweeping across Europe this year has triggered a sharp increase in demand for air conditioning units manufactured in China.[1] According to analysis from a Hong Kong think tank, the elevated temperatures are expected to sustain higher air conditioning consumption in Europe going forward, prompting experts to encourage mainland Chinese enterprises and Hong Kong businesses to capitalize on this market opportunity.[1]
He Wenyi, research manager at the Unity Hong Kong Foundation, observed that the surge in Chinese air conditioning demand in Europe demonstrates the continent's receptiveness to mainland Chinese products.[1] European markets place considerable emphasis on environmental protection and increasingly require energy-efficient green products.[1] Chinese manufacturers operating in the Pearl River Delta region have gained a competitive advantage through their concentrated industrial supply chains and logistics infrastructure, enabling them to rapidly supply large quantities to European markets.[1] The China-Europe freight train route delivers goods to Europe in just 10 to 15 days, approximately 20 days faster than maritime shipping.[1] Enterprises in the Guangdong Pearl River Delta began studying European market demands several years ago, positioning them well to meet current needs.[1]
