• Chinese consumers are increasingly familiar with the term 'smart home' as many smart devices flood the market, and brands emphasize 'smartness' in their home appliances. Leveraging public-private partnerships and targeted technological innovations, China has successfully rolled out smart city infrastructure in many major metropolises, extending its reach into the residential sector.
• Shifting from an export-driven to a consumption-centric economy, China is pivoting toward energy efficiency while not facing notably high energy costs. The government, recognizing the significance of energy and water conservation, is actively promoting smart home technologies that optimize resource usage.
• Advancements in sensor technology have led to innovations like sensor-embedded insulation and 'smart mirrors' capable of monitoring skin conditions. Beyond the novelty, the ability of these new sensors to process data locally is poised to hasten the widespread adoption of smart home technologies.
• While Western smart cities often adopt a grassroots approach, China's strategy is predominantly top-down, with the central government leading. A notable example is the joint issuance of guidelines at the beginning of 2022 by 16 government departments, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Public Security. These guidelines laid out policies, systems, and standards for digital homes.
• China's tech behemoths, including Alibaba, Tencent, Didi Chuxing, Baidu, and Huawei, are pivotal in the nation's drive to modernize its city infrastructures. Their concerted efforts align with China's overarching ambition of smart city development, further bolstering the prospects of the smart home market in China.
• Furthermore, in June 2023, Xiaomi announced a new MIJIA smart home appliance in the Chinese market. The new MIJIA Intelligent Multipurpose Oven with a steamer is built to offer multiple cooking methods in a single package.
