About electric blankets

cpc code 44813 covers the production and distribution of electric blankets, a vital household item that has become an essential part of many people's lives. Electric blankets provide warmth and comfort during the colder months, making them a popular choice for homes, hotels, and other residential settings. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and home goods sectors, contributing to the overall comfort and well-being of consumers.

Production process

The production of electric blankets involves a multi-step process. First, the base fabric, typically made from materials like cotton or polyester, is woven or knitted. Electrical wiring is then carefully embedded into the fabric, ensuring even heat distribution. The wiring is connected to a control unit, which allows users to adjust the temperature and heat settings. Finally, the blanket is finished with additional features such as automatic shut-off mechanisms and machine-washable designs.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric blankets include the base fabric, electrical wiring, control units, and various other components such as 42192 Electrical components, 31211 Textile fibers, and 33451 Electrical equipment. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery and equipment to efficiently assemble and test the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 44813 is the electric blanket itself, which is then distributed to 47630 Household appliance stores, 47591 Furniture stores, and other retail outlets catering to the home goods and textile markets. Electric blankets may also be used as inputs for 94120 Hospital activities and 55100 Hotels and similar accommodation to provide warmth and comfort to their guests and patients.
