In the current residential air conditioning market, traditional split systems remain the **mainstay. A representative from Chongqing Gree Air Conditioning stated that traditional wall-mounted and floor-standing units account for more than 80% of their residential air conditioning sales, while the sales share of ducted units, multi-split systems, and other products is less than 20%, although the growth trend is evident. Data from Chongqing Midea Central Air Conditioning shows that last year's annual sales of ducted units were 37000 units, and sales in just the first half of this year have already approached this figure.

Home appliance chain stores, which previously focused on traditional residential air conditioners, are now also pushing into residential central air conditioning. Xu Yongkui, Manager of the Air Conditioning Division at Chongqing Suning, introduced that they began introducing ducted units, multi-split systems, and other products last year, and have successively established strategic partnerships with brands such as Midea, Haier, and Chigo. This year's sales have more than doubled compared to last year.
