Welcoming the implementation of new regulations for the New Year, the Energy Administration (Ministry of Economic Affairs) has announced the new “Energy Efficiency Criteria and Labeling Method for Dehumidifiers,” and the Ministry of Finance is pushing the “Amendment to the Commodity Tax Act on Beverages,” both of which will take effect simultaneously on January 1, 2026. Facing these two major policy adjustments regarding energy efficiency grading and beverage tax reform, coupled with the year-end demand for replacing old home appliances, PChome 24h Shopping has observed that search volume for “dehumidifiers” has grown by 10% compared to the previous week, while orders for sugar-free tea have seen a 36% annual increase.
Regarding the dehumidifier market, which faces imminent adjustments to energy efficiency grading, products meeting the “New Grade 1 Energy Efficiency” standard are expected to save up to 14% in electricity consumption compared to same-level models under the old system. Additionally, each unit is eligible for a tax refund of up to NT$1,200, making this the perfect time to replace old appliances!
PChome 24h Shopping has identified the Top 3 preferred consumer brands: HITACHI, Panasonic, and LG. Selected highlights include the current Grade 1 Energy Efficiency best-seller, the NWT 16L WiFi Smart Dehumidifier WDH-16EN (formerly WDH-16EF) at a discounted price of NT$6,490; and the AI ultra-inverter **HITACHI Grade 1 Energy Efficiency 19L Inverter High-Efficiency Dehumidifier RD-380VJ** at a discounted price of NT$18,309.
Furthermore, platform data indicates a 36% annual increase in sugar-free tea orders, while sales of sugary teas have shown a slowing trend. PChome 24h Shopping is offering price rewards on popular bulk-buy box combinations. The market staple [Yuancui] PET Bottle 580ml (24 bottles x 2 boxes) (Flavors Optional) is discounted to NT$799, featuring exclusive low-temperature extraction to preserve pure tea aroma, with multiple flavors to satisfy hydration needs for homes and offices. Also available is the only tea with 4 national certifications, **[Every Morning Health] Green Tea 650ml (24 bottles x 2 boxes)**, discounted to NT$1,020.
To reward consumers, from now until January 12, the platform is launching site-wide limited-time discounts and the “Welcome New Year Shopping Season” event with up to 21% in rewards. This allows the public to enjoy not only the price advantages of tax reductions but also limited-time promotional offers!
Dehumidifier Searches Up 10%: Japanese and Korean Brands Favored for Power-Saving Upgrades
Due to Taiwan’s humid climate year-round, dehumidifiers are essential appliances for every household. PChome 24h Shopping observes that due to year-end rainy weather and anticipatory psychology regarding the new policies, search volume for “dehumidifiers” has grown by about 10% in the past week. Notably, as old dehumidifiers age, they often suffer from decreased operating efficiency and significantly increased power consumption. The government continues to encourage the public to replace old units with new ones through subsidies, achieving the dual benefits of energy conservation/carbon reduction and saving on electricity bills.
The highlight of the amended “Energy Efficiency Criteria and Labeling Method for Dehumidifiers” is the raised threshold for Grade 1 Energy Efficiency, with stricter EF value standards to encourage manufacturers to develop better-performing and more energy-saving products. PChome 24h Shopping’s past sales trends reveal that consumers have high trust in Japanese brands for their quiet operation and durability, while Korean brands have also seen gradual sales growth in recent years. Consumers can look forward to new models next year or seize the opportunity before the year ends to purchase models that still qualify for the Ministry of Finance’s energy-saving appliance commodity tax refund, offering a subsidy of up to NT$1,200. It is the best choice for high CP value (cost-performance ratio) and an energy-saving lifestyle!
