V. Industry Leaders' Views
> “Life appliances have shifted from functional fulfillment to emotional resonance, and companies must seize the twin main lines of ‘self-pleasing consumption’ of Generation Z and ‘security dependence’ of the silver-haired.”
> -- Li Huagang, CEO, Haier Smart Home
> “2025 will be the first year of ‘home appliance servitization’, with hardware sales accounting for only 30% of the value chain, and the remaining 70% coming from data services, health management and other derivative ecologies.”
> -- Wang Qiang, CTO, Meitai Group
Future Outlook
- Policy-driven: Shanghai announced that the subsidy for R&D investment in smart home appliances has been raised to 25%, focusing on supporting areas such as sensors and energy management algorithms.
- Globalized competition: Chinese brands plan to build 10 new smart manufacturing bases in Indonesia and Mexico within 2025, with 60% localized capacity coverage.
