China Online Cleaning Appliance Sales Rise 5% during 618
AVC recorded CNY 8 billion in sales across the measured promotion period.
News date:
China's online cleaning-appliance sales rose during the 2026 618 promotion, but unit growth outpaced the increase in spending. AVC monitoring put retail sales at CNY 8 billion, up 5% year on year, and volume at 4.54 million units, up 10%, for May 11–June 21.
Robot vacuums remained the largest category in the report, generating CNY 4.35 billion, an increase of 7.1%. Wet floor cleaners contributed CNY 2.71 billion, up 8.2%. Conventional vacuum-cleaner sales fell 19.1%, while window-cleaning robots also recorded a decline.
The category detail showed that growth did not necessarily bring stronger pricing. AVC reported a 15% fall in the average selling price of wet floor cleaners. At the same time, smaller segments such as fabric cleaners expanded, adding demand outside the two main floorcare categories.
The June 30 market review covers a defined online promotion window. It complements AVC's first-quarter market report, which showed a small decline across cleaning appliances overall. The figures describe Chinese retail purchases, rather than worldwide manufacturer revenue, and illustrate why promotion-period value, volume and category mix need to be read together.
