With the arrival of the high incidence period of respiratory diseases in autumn and winter, as well as the increasing awareness of public health management, the home atomizer market is experiencing a sales boom. According to data from major e-commerce platforms, the search volume for the keyword "atomizer" has skyrocketed by 200% year-on-year in the past month, and some popular brand models have even experienced stock shortages.
Behind this consumption boom, there are multiple factors driving it together. Firstly, infants, young children, and the elderly are susceptible to respiratory diseases. Many families choose to purchase their own equipment for convenience and peace of mind, avoiding the risk of cross infection from frequent trips to the hospital. Secondly, the affordable pricing and simplified operation of the product have gradually transformed it from a professional medical device to a "household spare part".
However, the booming market has also brought new consumer anxieties and hidden concerns. Faced with various products on the market ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan, consumers often feel confused: how to choose between mesh, compression, and ultrasonic? What is the difference between the brand names of medical devices and household appliances?
Experts remind that purchasing a nebulizer is not necessarily the more expensive the better, but rather depends on whether the core parameters (such as particle size) are suitable for treatment needs. Particles with a diameter of 1-5 μ m can effectively deposit in the respiratory tract and lungs, and particles with a diameter that is too large or too small can affect the therapeutic effect. More importantly, nebulized inhalation drugs are prescription drugs that must be used under the guidance of a doctor. Consumers should not self diagnose or purchase drugs to avoid delaying the condition or causing adverse reactions. The prosperity of the market calls for stricter regulation and more professional consumer education.
