Solar water heaters are devices that use solar energy to heat water for domestic, commercial, and industrial purposes. They utilize solar collectors to absorb solar energy and convert it into heat energy, which is then transferred to water through a heat exchanger. Solar water heaters typically consist of collectors, storage tanks, pipes, and control systems, among other components.

Solar energy is a renewable and clean source of energy, and using solar water heaters can reduce reliance on traditional energy sources and decrease carbon emissions. Although solar water heaters have higher installation costs, they have lower operating costs and can save on gas or electricity expenses. They are typically constructed using durable materials and have a long lifespan. Solar water heaters are suitable for various climate conditions and can meet the hot water demands of different scales, making them applicable for households, hotels, swimming pools, and other locations.

The demand for solar water heaters is growing in the international market. Many countries and regions are promoting renewable energy and environmentally friendly technologies, and solar water heaters, as clean energy devices, have significant development potential. China is one of the major producers and exporters of solar water heaters, and its products enjoy certain competitive advantages in the international market.

Notes：Annual Summary

According to customs data, the total export volume of solar water heaters from China in 2022 was 1.0875 million units, which decreased by 15.61% compared to the previous year. As of April 2023, the cumulative export volume reached 0.4338 million units, with a growth of 29.62% during the same period. The data shows that the export value and quantity of solar water heaters have shown different trends in recent years. In 2018, both the value and quantity reached a relatively high level. They slightly declined in 2019 and 2020 but remained at a relatively stable level. However, in 2021 and 2022, both the value and quantity showed growth, indicating a certain level of recovery.

Notes：Market share

Currently, China's solar water heaters are mainly exported to markets such as Mexico, Romania, Germany, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Yemen, South Africa, Poland, France, and Peru. However, the market demand and adoption level of solar water heaters vary in different regions. In Europe, Asia, and Australia, there is a high demand for solar water heaters, and relatively mature markets have been established. In some developing countries and emerging markets, the penetration rate of solar water heaters may be relatively low. However, with increasing focus on energy utilization and environmental protection, the demand for solar water heaters is gradually increasing in these regions.

With the increasing demand for renewable energy and environmentally friendly technologies, more and more countries and regions are adopting solar water heaters to meet their hot water needs. China's solar water heaters have a competitive advantage in terms of price, quality, and technology, making them attractive in the international market.

In summary, solar water heaters have a promising market outlook worldwide. However, market conditions may vary in different countries and regions. To obtain a more accurate understanding, in-depth research and analysis are needed, including examining customs data and other relevant information specific to each market.
