Since last year, air purifiers have continued to break into the small home appliance sales rankings. Yesterday, Hu Jie, General Manager of Broad Air Quality, revealed to a Changjiang Business Daily reporter at Suning's "Smog Removal Experience Hall" in Wuhan that the new national standard for air purifiers will be implemented from the end of this year to the beginning of next year. However, he predicted that after 5 years, air purifiers will gradually disappear from the market. "PM2.5 inhalation amount is 1458.7 micrograms, the amount deposited in the alveoli and unable to be discharged is 972.5 micrograms, leading to an 8.4% increase in the risk of death from cardiopulmonary diseases, and an 12.3% increase in the risk of death from cancer..." To breathe clean air, citizens are purchasing health-related home appliances in large numbers.

Suning.com alone carries 305 air purifier brands, with as many as 2868 related products available, ranging from 59 yuan to over ten thousand yuan. The best-selling household air purifier is priced at 3288 yuan. In addition, data from JD.com shows that in 2013, JD.com's air purifier sales volume reached 10 billion yuan, with retail sales increasing by 420% year-on-year.

Hu Jie revealed to a Changjiang Business Daily reporter that the new national standard for air purifiers is expected to be implemented from the end of this year to the beginning of next year. While citizens are spending thousands of yuan to buy air purifiers, Hu Jie, who has been deeply involved in the air purifier market for ten years, stated: "In 5 years, air purifiers will gradually disappear."
