Technology innovation contributes to the diversified development of brands.
Consumer Electronics brands around the world are under great pressure in the shadow of the pandemic. On the one hand, simple adding-on of traditional technologies and products are failing to meet the daily demands of work and life; on the other hand, with the rise of the new generation of consumers, all the players in the Consumer Electronics world must face up to an industrial upgrade. With the consumer demands for diversified products, it becomes inevitable for companies to ride the trend of the time – a technological consensus and transformation direction of brands globally. The one steps ahead in technological innovation will gain greater advantages in the competition of the multi-dimensional development.
Zhu Dongfang, President of Asia Digital Group, commented that consumer electronics is the industry with the fastest technology update and product iteration. Under the trend of smart, connected and personalized products, it becomes essential for Consumer Electronics brands to seek a multi-dimensional path. The driving factor behind is technology innovation, which presents both challenges and opportunities. From the GTB this year, it is clear that the Consumer Electronics industry in China has already been at the forefront of the world’s industrial transformation, establishing an icon with Chinese characteristics. The award-winning Chinese companies demonstrated that technologies are contributing to the multi-dimensional development of brands. This has proved that it is the path for development through continuous technological innovation to enrich product functions, expand existing product lines, and drive the diversified growth of brands.
Chinese Consumer Electronics companies take technology innovation to facilitate the diversified development of brands, which has led to an overall increase in market share for the China Consumer Electronics industry. Data shows that the annual output value of the upstream and downstream of the Consumer Electronics industrial chain in China has reached 6 trillion yuan and end products manufacture accounts for more than 70% of the world. It has also developed into the frontier consumer market for global Consumer Electronics products. The consumer electronics market is expected to reach 1.11 trillion US dollars by 2023, and the compound annual growth rate is estimated to exceed 7% by 2026.
Comprehensive innovation and brand diversification have become the main trend in the development of global consumer electronics brands. An increasing number of Consumer Electronics brands have integrated the concept of technological innovation from as early stages as technology R&D and product roadmap to the end of the production process. This has driven Chinese consumer electronics brands to update products and diversify product lines, leading a fresh trend in the Consumer Electronics industry and exploring new territory for growth. All the collective efforts pushed forward the upgrading and transformation of China’s consumer electronics industry to a brand-new level.
