According to customs data, China’s heat pump exports to 21 European countries reached 1.028 billion yuan (US$153.9 million) in September, marking a 214.9 percent year-on-year increase, with growth accelerating by 125.3 percentage points from August.據海關數據顯示，9月中國對21個歐洲國家的熱泵出口額達10.28億元人民幣（合1.539億美元），同比增長214.9%，較8月增速加快125.3個百分點。

Complete units constituted the primary driver, soaring 259.3 percent year-on-year to 842 million yuan, indicating strong demand for new installations and restocking rather than mere maintenance.成套設備成爲主要增長動力，同比飆升259.3%至8.42億元，這表明市場對新裝機和補貨的需求旺盛，而非單純的維護需求。
Trade continued to concentrate in key markets, with the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France, and Germany accounting for 70 percent of the European total. Meanwhile, exports to the United States and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) doubled, growing 279.9 percent and 102.1 percent, respectively, in September, while African markets saw steady growth.貿易繼續集中於關鍵市場，荷蘭、意大利、西班牙、法國和德國佔歐洲貿易總額的70%。與此同時，對美國和東南亞國家聯盟（東盟）的出口實現翻倍，9月分別增長279.9%和102.1%，而非洲市場則保持穩步增長。
Analysts note that this export boom reflects a structural shift in Europe’s energy landscape rather than a short-term inventory rebound.分析師指出，此次出口熱潮反映的是歐洲能源格局的結構性轉變，而非短期的庫存反彈。
Amid geopolitical uncertainties and high heating costs, European consumers are accelerating the adoption of heat pumps supported by policy drivers.在地緣政治不確定性和高昂供暖成本的背景下，在政策推動因素的助力下，歐洲消費者正加快普及熱泵的使用。

However, industry experts emphasize that low-price competition is rapidly phasing out. To secure long-term orders, Chinese manufacturers must upgrade compliance with European Union energy efficiency certifications, manage refrigerant transitions, and establish robust local after-sales networks.不過，行業專家強調，低價競爭正迅速淡出。爲獲得長期訂單，中國製造商必須提升歐盟能效認證合規性、管理製冷劑更新工作，並建立完善的本地售後網路。
