This table depicts an increase in the national average year-end ownership of major consumer durables per 100 households in the past decade in our country.The data indicate that the number of air conditioners owned per 100 households surged from 75.2 to 145.9.Similarly, washing machine ownership rose from 83.7 to 98.2, and refrigerator ownership increased from 85.5 to 103.4.

This upward trend can be attributed to several factors.Firstly, the sustained economic growth in our country has significantly boosted household incomes.The rise in disposable income has empowered more families to purchase these essential household appliances.Secondly, technological advancements have made these appliances more affordable and accessible.Innovations in manufacturing have led to more energy-efficient and cost-effective products, which made it easier for people to purchase and upgrade their home appliances.Additionally, government policies aimed at improving living standards and encouraging domestic consumption have also played a significant role.Policies that promote the purchase of energy-efficient appliances and provide subsidies have made it more attractive for people to buy these goods.

In conclusion, the rise in ownership of major durable consumer goods reflects our country's economic development, technological progress and supportive government policies.These factors have collectively contributed to improving the standard of living for many families.
