Cixi City, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province is one of the production bases of heaters in my country, and its export volume accounts for 30% of the country's total. In previous years, the peak season for export heater production ended around mid-September. This year, due to factors such as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the energy crisis, the use of natural gas in many European countries has been restricted, and the demand for various heaters has continued to increase. Many importers have temporarily added orders, bringing about a round of "order replenishment".
