Introduction: The Increasingly Severe “Abnormal Heat”
“This summer is really hot”—
you are certainly not the only one who feels this way.
This phrase has already become something we say almost every year.
Extreme heat is no longer a temporary phenomenon. It should be understood as part of the abnormal weather patterns occurring within the broader trend of global warming.
The Background of Rising Temperatures: How Global Warming Works and the Current Situation
Global warming refers to the phenomenon in which greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane increase in the atmosphere, causing the Earth’s average temperature to rise.
Since the Industrial Revolution in particular, human activities—such as the use of fossil fuels and deforestation—have increased rapidly, and CO₂ emissions have grown explosively over the past 200 years.
As a result, the frequency and intensity of abnormal weather events such as extreme heat, torrential rainfall, and droughts have increased worldwide in recent years.
The relationship between these phenomena and global warming has been clearly pointed out by international organizations such as the IPCC.
In addition, urban areas are experiencing an intensified heat island effect, where asphalt and dense clusters of buildings trap heat, further increasing the perceived temperature.
The increased use of air conditioning leads to higher electricity consumption, which in turn promotes additional CO₂ emissions through thermal power generation, creating a vicious cycle in which heat generates even more heat.
Heat Countermeasures Anyone Can Take: Personal Preparedness Saves Lives
Climate change is a global issue, but its impact is felt most directly in the daily lives of each individual.
One particularly serious consequence is the growing health risk caused by extreme heat.
In fact, the number of people transported by ambulance due to heatstroke increases every year, and it has become clear that elderly people and young children face a higher risk of severe illness.
Heat is no longer seen as merely “uncomfortable weather,” but rather as a life-threatening disaster.
As a result, taking measures against heat at home, in the workplace, and while outside is no longer a choice—it is rapidly becoming an essential part of daily life.
For example, the following measures are especially important:
Frequent intake of water and salt
Wearing breathable clothing
Scheduling activities to avoid going out under direct sunlight
Adjusting indoor temperatures by combining air conditioners with cooling products
These actions are no longer just “heat countermeasures,” but are increasingly recognized across society as preparations to protect lives.
What Heat-Relief Products Are Really Selling Well Right Now?
Due to consecutive days of extreme heat, demand for heat-relief products is rising rapidly.
These products are no longer viewed merely as “comfort items,” but rather as essential daily necessities that help prevent heatstroke and protect lives, gaining attention in homes and workplaces alike.
Particularly popular items include:
Neck coolers (wearable cooling devices)
Electronic devices that efficiently cool the neck using cooling plates. They are highly useful for outdoor work, commuting, and school attendance.
Cooling towels and cool scarves
Simply wet and shake to enjoy long-lasting coolness. Reusable and widely used for sports, events, and construction sites.
Handheld fans (portable fans)
Compact, USB-rechargeable devices, including bladeless quiet models and neck-worn types, designed for ease of use.
Cooling sprays and cooling gels
Easy to apply directly to clothing or skin. Containing menthol, they provide a refreshing sensation and are popular essentials when going out.
Heat-shielding curtains and insulation sheets
Energy-saving products that suppress indoor temperature increases and improve air conditioner efficiency, increasingly adopted in homes and offices.
These items tend to sell explosively in a short period, especially right after heatwave news or heatstroke alerts, making this a category where the speed of procurement has a major impact on sales.
Most Heat-Relief Products Are Made in China—How Can You Source Them Effectively?
In fact, many of the heat-relief products introduced here are manufactured in Chinese factories.
This means there is an opportunity to source products of the same quality at overwhelmingly lower prices than domestic retail prices.
For example, by using China’s largest wholesale platform, 1688.com, it is not uncommon to find neck coolers or handheld fans that sell domestically for over ¥2,000 at wholesale prices of only ¥100–¥200.
However, sourcing from overseas involves several challenges:
Communication and price negotiations in Chinese
Unclear quality control systems at factories
Complex international shipping, customs duties, and clearance procedures
Difficulty with small-lot orders or sample procurement
These concerns and burdens are addressed by ee-supply, an agency service specializing in imports from China.
Main Support Services Provided by ee-supply
Product search, negotiation, and purchasing on wholesale platforms such as 1688
Factory and supplier selection, product inspection, photography, and careful packaging
Arrangement of international shipping and customs clearance
Support for Amazon FBA deliveries and direct shipping to domestic warehouses
Flexible handling of small-lot and sample orders
All processes are supported in the customer’s language, allowing even beginners to confidently take on sourcing from China.
For those who think, “I’m interested but worried about communication,” or “I don’t know where to start,” a partner like ee-supply can be a great source of support.
The Key to Successful Sourcing Is “Quality” and “Trust”—Don’t Choose Based on Price Alone
The greatest appeal of sourcing from China lies in the ability to handle high-performance products at low prices.
However, choosing suppliers based solely on low prices can pose significant risks.
Even if products look identical, there may be differences in cooling performance, durability, and material safety, which can result in defective goods or excess inventory and missed sales opportunities.
Because heat-relief products are items that directly protect health, assessing quality is especially critical.
By using ee-supply to select reliable factories, obtain actual samples, and conduct inspections before shipment, many of these issues can be prevented in advance.
Securing not only low prices but also quality that can be sold with confidence—this is the most important factor for making Chinese sourcing a sustainable business.
Conclusion: A Time to Balance Global Warming Countermeasures and Business
In the face of global climate change, what each of us can do is far from insignificant.
One such action is supporting efforts to protect people’s health and lives through the sale of heat-relief products.
“Delivering high-quality products at fair prices to those who need them.”
This simple yet essential approach is now creating social value while also functioning as a sustainable business model.
To achieve this, reliable sourcing routes and trustworthy partners are indispensable.
From product selection and quality control to customs clearance and delivery, ee-supply, which provides end-to-end support, is truly a sourcing partner that walks alongside your business.
Now is the time to respond to an era in which being prepared itself has value.
Why not take a step forward—together with ee-supply—by facing the reality of global warming and building a business that supports society and the future?
