(Bloomberg) -- The energy crisis engulfing Europe is making consumers turn to a solution thousands of miles away: electric blankets from China.

Export data points to a surge that’s buoyed the fortunes of companies like Shenzhen-based UTK Technology Ltd., a producer and seller of the blankets on e-commerce website Alibaba, which confirms demand has reached an unprecedented level this month.
