New Delhi, May 17, 2019: Every year as the mercury soars up it also takes it is also the time to see the sales peak for a plethora of summer products be it electrical appliances, retail garments or accessories. This time the early onset of the summer season may be a brunt for many but its positive impact on the market is making the retailers smile.
Summer vacation is synonymous with travel, trips, hobby classes for adventurous souls while others like the comfy indoor environs. In either case, the rise in demand for products to beat the heat shoots up. Here is a roundup of seven B2B e-commerce trends that are brewing since the beginning of this season:
- Air conditioners and refrigerators
The season seems promising for the cooling appliances segment. The demand for ACs usually results in high sales between the months of April and June. However, this summer, the demand has amplified from as early as April and it is increasing simultaneously with the soaring heat. In fact, the sale of ACs of brands like LG, Hitachi, Daikin, Voltas, O General, and even portable room air conditioners have shown a growth of almost 3.5 times since winters. A similar trend has been observed in the refrigerators category with the sales witnessing double-digit growth within the mid of March compared to its sales during the winters. Car refrigerator, portable refrigerator, double door/single refrigerators, mini refrigerator, glass door refrigerators are some of the products that are selling out like hotcakes this season.
- Dehumidifiers
Battling the heat is just half the problem being faced during the summer months. During the hours when homes or office spaces have no active cooling, there is also no active dehumidification. As a result, the relative humidity indoors rises. The sopping, humid weather needs dehumidifiers. No wonder, the searches for dehumidifiers on B2B platforms like ExportersIndia.com have grown by 20% since last year while, in comparison to winter months, it has doubled at the onset of summers. Goa leads while Andaman is at the second place in terms of searches for dehumidifiers on the online platform with the demand coming more in coastal areas.
- Swimsuits

The warm weather months are reason enough to buy those swimsuits either for an upcoming vacation to a beach destination or simply spend some quality lounge chair time near the pool to beat the heat. This year, ExportersIndia.com has witnessed an upswing in its swimsuits category by almost 4 times since last year.

Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement in summers. They also protect the eyes from UVA and UVB rays along with eye infections caused by bacteria and fungus.
