Dyson plans clean sweep in China

Dyson Ltd, the British home appliance technology company, says China could well become its biggest market within four years, fueled by ongoing air-quality concerns in the country.

Max Conze, its chief executive officer, said the company's turnover was $2.5 billion last year globally, with Asia accounting for over a third of that.

He said Dyson, which produces air purifiers, fans and vacuum cleaners, doubled its China sales last year and he expects it to triple its business this year in the market.
