Verkkokauppa.com: Shop the best selection of fans before the summer heat hits
Press release, May 8, 2025
Demand for air conditioners and fans spikes every May as Finnish households prepare for the upcoming summer heat. Verkkokauppa.com predicts particularly strong growth in smart and easy-to-install cooling solutions.
Recent data from Finland's largest e-commerce retailer shows that demand for fans and portable air conditioners has surged by 150% compared to last year. In addition to a warm spring, recent years' heatwaves are reflected in the proactive buying behavior of Finns.
This year, cooling devices are especially popular among city dwellers and remote workers looking for effective and easy ways to improve indoor air and sleep quality.
According to Verkkokauppa.com, demand is focused on portable air conditioners and various fans that can be used immediately without any installation or permanent fixtures.
"We've noticed that customers no longer wait; they prepare for summer heatwaves well in advance. Once the sweltering weather hits, stock runs out quickly, delivery times get longer, and the selection narrows. If you still need a cooling device, now is the perfect time to act," says Verkkokauppa.com Sourcing Manager Petri Kavenius.
When it comes to cooling features, customers are increasingly focusing on energy consumption, noise levels, and automation.
“The most popular products include quiet and stylish devices that can be controlled via mobile apps as part of an existing smart home system,” Kavenius adds.
Verkkokauppa.com sells air conditioners, fans, air purifiers, air source heat pumps, and installation services online and in-store to improve home comfort.
