02 "Robot +" may become the next trend in smart homes

In the current context of the booming global smart home market, profound changes are taking place in consumption trends.

On the one hand, user pain points remain prominent. Issues such as poor compatibility with multiple devices, fragmented systems, unstable Wi-Fi connections, and insufficient after-sales support have seriously affected user experience, leading to extremely low tolerance for product errors among consumers and an increase in return rates, which has hindered further market expansion.

On the other hand, product trends are moving towards whole-house intelligence, "seamless" intelligent interaction, and "robot +". The whole-house smart scenario is gradually replacing single smart products and becoming the first choice for consumers to build a smart home. Devices such as voice central control and smart panels are interconnected across brands through the Matter protocol. AI technology drives devices to upgrade from passive response to active perception, providing users with more humanized services.

Meanwhile, the "seamless" intelligent interaction, through highly integrated information, personalized decision-making and multi-point linkage, enables users to enjoy the convenience of technology while reducing its presence.

In addition, the "robot +" trend is also accelerating. Robot technology is reshaping the traditional form of household appliances. Ai-enabled home service robots can not only complete household chores but also achieve natural language interaction, injecting new vitality into the smart home market.

03 The Breakthrough and Opportunities for Smart Home Products going global

Against the background of the booming global smart home market, going overseas has become a key layout direction for Chinese enterprises.

In online channels, Amazon has become the core position of smart home brand sales by virtue of its strong platform advantages, with outstanding performance in categories such as smart cleaning, control accessories, security, etc., and higher brand concentration and cost-effective products are more popular; Walmart, eBay and TikTok Shop have also become important platforms for smart home overseas by virtue of their respective characteristics, of which Walmart focuses on the expansion of all categories of smart home. Walmart focuses on the expansion of the whole category of smart home, eBay ushered in growth driven by the epidemic, and TikTok Shop became an emerging growth engine with the dividends of social e-commerce.

In terms of offline channels, supermarkets, integrated retailers and brand stores have become an important layout direction for enterprises to enhance brand trust and user experience, and companies such as Stone Technology are expanding their markets through online and offline synergies.

Overseas opportunities and challenges co-exist, China as the world's largest home exporter, with the supply chain advantages, policy support and overseas market demand growth, for the smart home enterprises to go to sea has laid a solid foundation, but also facing supply chain and logistics bottlenecks, brand awareness is insufficient, compliance and regulatory barriers and many other challenges.

In terms of overseas trends, Chinese brands are reshaping the global market pattern through technology, ecology and scenario layout, and AI-enabled smart home products are upgraded from tools to intelligent lifeforms, providing users with a more intelligent and emotional experience, helping enterprises realize the leap from single-product competition to the output of the whole industry chain ecology in overseas markets.
