Fifty metres behind the two billboards sits Darty, the high-end channel with the largest market share in France. Darty has more than 300 stores in France, bringing together high-end home appliance brands from all over the world, and has strict barriers to entry for the products that enter.
From the Beaugrenelle shopping center to enter the Darty channel located on the negative floor, one can see the brand display wall of Haier Wisdom and the hot sale of Haier refrigerators and Lanjing X11 series washing machines. It is understood that in this channel, the price of Haier multi-door refrigerator is not only far more than other Chinese household appliance brands, but also super Korean brands.

The performance in the Darty channel is the result of Haier Zhijia's insistence on localization and high-end brand creation. Since entering the French market, Haier Zhijia has dug deep into the needs of users, from the aspects of localized research and development, localized marketing, etc., with high-end differentiated products and perfect service guarantee, optimize the user experience, and realize the brand truly into the hearts of French users.
In terms of product research and development, Haier France has successively launched differentiated products such as wine cabinets comparable to professional wine cellars and Lanjing X11 series washing machines which save 50% energy than the European A-level standard to strengthen its competitiveness in the high-end market. Among them, considering that France is the home of red wine, and the storage of wine often troubles locals, for this reason, Haier France innovatively launched smart wine cabinet products, which can not only perfectly simulate the light of the wine cellar, isolate the heat, but also automatically adjust the temperature to meet the storage conditions of different regions and different types of wine.

Among them, Hale brand multi-door refrigerator occupies the first share in many European countries, Candy brand occupies the first share of connected home appliances,Hoover brand washing machine market share increased year-on-year, sales first.
