At the same time, Fujitsu expand air conditioner business in India by increasing sales channels with opening stores under direct operation and the development of new distributors including commercial segments.
The air conditioner market in India is growing rapidly at an annual rate of 10% or more and it is expected to continue in the future. Fujitsu General considers India as one of the top priority markets in mid-term management plan for which FY2022 will serve as the fiscal year of achievement.
"We will work to further improve our strong brand power in India by strengthening sales promotions, advertising and publicity, and after-sales services under our leadership. Furthermore, we will revise our sales channels fundamentally by launching retail stores with our direct operation, adding to developing new dealers and distributors.
We will also look to strengthen our sales structure for commercial use air conditioners (e.g., packaged air conditioners for buildings). Adding to it, we will aim to expand our air conditioning solutions business by making proactive proposals to the customers of ABS Aircon Engineers Private Limited, a company which we turned into a consolidated subsidiary in December 2018, which designs, executes projects and provides service maintenance for air conditioning systems, for replacing demand of commercial use air conditioners.
Moreover, we will introduce new models in inverter air conditioners line-up, that meet local needs, in February. As energy-saving regulations have become even stricter in India since January of this year we expect the expansion of the demand of inverter air conditioners which is our strong point. New products are the models for the great demand segment, which we have not offered in our line-up so far. The new models have specifications such as withstanding unstable voltage conditions and severe outside temperature environments – in addition to the high energy saving performance. We expect to increase our sales in the inverter air conditioners market with the new models," - said in Fujitsu.
