Latin American Air Conditioner Market: Under Pressure in the Short Term, Promising in the Long Term. In the short term, regional inflation and exchange rate fluctuations suppress consumer purchasing power, compounded by previously high channel inventory, resulting in weak users’ willingness to stockpile proactively, and market demand is under temporary pressure; in the long term, the region has ample climate-driven rigid demand and a low market penetration rate. As the economy recovers and inventory is cleared, there will be considerable room for subsequent demand recovery.
