- Wavelength: 5-15 microns
- Energy efficiency: 85-92%
Conductive Heating
- Direct contact transfer
- Faster surface heating (30-45 seconds)
- Requires thermal paste for even distribution
Industry Trends: What Buyers Want in 2024
European markets now demand RoHS-compliant lithium batteries (94% of German imports), while US buyers prioritize FDA-cleared devices (up 67% YoY per FDA database). Southeast Asia shows 140% growth in portable heat massagers under $80.
