An informed source from the air-conditioning industry media also revealed that Sharp's air-conditioning production plant for the Chinese market has stopped production this year, and currently only produces some orders for export to overseas markets.
It is understood that Sharp has not formally announced its withdrawal from China, but only adopted a gradual strategy. While many air-conditioning industry insiders pointed out that choosing to withdraw from the store in the air conditioning sales season, and do not provide the market with a wealth of product models, Sharp air conditioning out of China is taking a "soft landing."

Japanese survival is difficult
In fact, Japanese companies represented by Sharp in recent years have had a difficult development in the Chinese air-conditioning market. Japan's air-conditioning companies represented by Panasonic, Hitachi, Daikin, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Sanyo, and Sharp have been crushed and challenged by local Chinese companies, and their market share has been declining. Statistics from the National Confidence Center show that the Japanese air conditioner companies' share in the frequency conversion market has dropped from 22.7% in 2009 to 7.5% in 2010, a drop of up to 15%.
The reporter noted that in the face of this trend in the Chinese air-conditioning market, many Japanese air-conditioning companies began to change their business ideas to sell key components such as control chips and compressors as new business growth points.
