Silmänräpäyksessä vuosi 2021 lähenee loppuaan ja vuosi 2022 lähestyy. Menneeseen vuoteen katsottuna siitä on tarkoitus tulla poikkeuksellinen vuosi, erityisesti lakaisurobottiteollisuudelle. Vuonna 2021 on sattunut monia suuria tapahtumia, joilla on syvällinen vaikutus toimialaan. Tänään arvioimme ja kommentoimme.
Teknologia muuttaa elämää, lakaisurobotit kokoontuvat CES2021:een
On January 11, CES 2021 officially opened. Affected by the epidemic, this year's CES exhibition will be conducted online and offline. Judging from the new product sweeping robots released by major manufacturers, there are still bright spots to be found. For example, Samsung's JetBot AI Plus robot vacuum cleaner, Bot Care personal assistant robot, and Bot Handy robot brought by Samsung at this year's CES show can clean up messy things and move things around the house; Roborock S7, the Roborock sweeping robot on display, Equipped with a large suction power of 2500 Pa and a large battery of 5200mAh, it can be used for up to 3 hours in the "quiet" mode and low water flow mop settings; Baole exhibited AI home sweeping robots and automatic dust collection base stations, these two new products are at the level of intelligence Excellent performance in cleaning and cleaning ability.
Kommentti: CSE-näyttelyä pidetään alan teknologisen kehityksen tuuliviirinä. Mobiilirobottien näyttelyissä LG on lakaisurobottien lisäksi tuonut markkinoille myös CLOi-ultraviolettidesinfiointirobotin, desinfiointirobotin Coro{0}}botin ja kumppanirobotin. On havaittavissa, että mobiilirobottien alalla siivousrobottien lisäksi ne ovat alkaneet jäädä kiinni tiettyihin esittelymuotoihin. Mobiilirobottien antennit ovat laajentuneet teollisuudesta kauppaan.
From the new products exhibited by Samsung, Rock and Baole, it can be seen that the sweeping robot has breakthroughs in cleaning power, intelligence and object recognition technology. Unfortunately, these brands did not "ignite" the market with new products this year. In the future, with the maturity of various technologies such as sensors, AI, big data, and 5G, the industrial chain of sweeping robots may explode with strong vitality.
iRobot julkaisee Roomba i -sarjan, pölynkeräimen lakaisukone kuumenee
On February 25th, the American home robot company iRobot released Roomba®i3 plus /i4 plus vacuum cleaners in China. The new product adopts intelligent planning and navigation, and is equipped with the Clean base™ automatic dust collection system that can dispose of garbage independently, bringing users a rich and personalized cleaning experience provided by the iRobot Genius™ home smart platform.
Comment: iRobot was a US military enterprise in its early years. In 2002, iRobot launched the Roomba sweeping robot, creating a new category of household cleaning robots. In 2021, iRobot will launch a dust collector sweeper in the Chinese market, which can be said to be an innovation of the company's products. But in the domestic sweeping robot industry, dust collector sweepers are no longer new at this time. Brands including Prosonic, Xiaomi, Stone, Zhuimi, Cobos and Midea have all launched such products.
In terms of technology, the automatic dust collector sweeper has a dual duct dust collection, a rear suction dust collection and a consumable dust collection bucket design. These products do not require consumers to dump the garbage in the dust box of the sweeping robot. Every time the user cleans the ground with the automatic dust collector and sweeper, the automatic dust collector charging base can automatically empty the dust in the dust box of the sweeping robot, without the user's manual cleaning intervention, which further liberates both hands. Regrettably, this year, even with iRobot blessing the track, this kind of products did not cause splashes in the market. They are in a state of "high product popularity but low sales".
Cobosin osakkeenomistajien likvidaatiotyyppinen vähennys, jonka takana on ajatuksia{0}}herättävä
On July 13, Cobos disclosed the shareholder reduction plan. The first shareholder Taiyike Electric Co., Ltd. intends to reduce its holdings by 10,279,616 shares through centralized bidding transactions and block transactions. It is expected that the reduction will not exceed 1.80 percent of the company's total share capital. Not long after the major shareholders liquidated their holdings, on July 23, Cobos opened for a dive, and within half an hour was tightly sealed on the limit. The market value evaporated 12.1 billion yuan from the previous day and 34.4 billion yuan from the highest point. Many people in the industry lament that as the original shareholder of Cobos, the reasons behind the continued reduction in holdings of Taiyikai are thought-provoking.
Comment: In fact, it is not the first time that Taiyike has reduced its shareholding in Cobos. In 2019, Taiyike has begun to gradually reduce its holdings. This reduction has caused too much movement and attracted the attention of many stakeholders. Under normal circumstances, there may be two reasons for major shareholders to reduce their holdings. One is the need for funds, and the other is their lack of confidence in the company's future development, and they hope to cash out and stop losses. In the A-share environment, the reduction of long positions is also regarded by some investors as "cutting leeks." According to the announcement, the reason for Taiyike's plan to reduce its holdings is "own capital needs", but "funding needs" and "profit-taking" are not contradictory.
Judging from the several reductions by Cobos shareholders, it is not ruled out that it is due to financial considerations. After all, Cobos' stock price has risen from an early ten billion to a market value of more than 100 billion. Shareholders want to cash out. Judging from the recent financial report released by Cobos, its investment in marketing costs is higher than that in research and development. Many people in the industry complain that Cobos' RD investment does not meet the title of a technology company, and its RD investment accounts for only the lowest line of internationally accepted standards.
Viime vuosina Cobos on tehnyt joukon muutoksia, mukaan lukien asteittainen vetäytyminen alkuperäisestä palvelurobottivalimoliiketoiminnasta ja kotimaisten halpa{0}}lakaisurobottien markkinoilta. Tämä on jossain määrin vaikuttanut sen liikevaihdon ja nettotuloksen kasvuun.
Cobos's clean small household appliances, in addition to sweeping robots, window cleaners (so far, they have not contributed to the company's profits), there are also washing machines (sub-brand Timke). In the first half of 2021, the Tianke brand achieved sales revenue of 2.037 billion yuan, accounting for 38.01 percent of Cobos' total revenue; net profit of 410 million yuan, accounting for 48 percent of Cobos' total profit. During the 618 e-commerce festival, Timco achieved sales of 900 million yuan, and the two-year-old Tianyi became famous and became a strong support force for Cobos' profitability.
In the foreign robot vacuum market, Cobos's road to sea has not been smooth sailing. For example, in the North American market, according to public statistics, although Cobos strives to catch up with brands such as iRobot and Shark, there is still a gap compared with Shark's share; and in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market, Roborock Voss made an earlier layout, and Covos's market share is behind.
Cobos has also introduced many new sweepers in recent years, but no explosive products have appeared. The establishment of the Tianke sub-brand appears to be expanding into a new category (floor scrubber), but in fact it is also a necessary means for Cobos to cope with the slowdown of the sweeper growth and seek new profits. In the author's opinion, cleaning small household appliances is a new track, product update iterations are very fast, and more and more entrants. Stone Technology, Cloud Whale Intelligence, Xiaomi and Chaimi are all "braves" in this track. Only if Cobos is constantly at the forefront of the industry, can it cope with the challenges brought about by changes in demand. In the next three years, if Cobos fails to make a breakthrough in the field of sweeping robots, its lack of corporate growth will soon be highlighted, and it is only a matter of time before it is caught up by other brands.
Yunjing julkaisee uuden tuotteen J2, joka johtaa jälleen markkinoiden uutta suuntausta
Syyskuun 25. päivänä Cloud Whalen toinen sukupolvi julkistettiin Tmall-suorassa lähetyksessä. Virallisen esittelyn mukaan toisen -sukupolven Cloud Whalessa on toimintoja, kuten automaattinen kastelu, automaattinen puhdistusnesteen lisäys, mopin automaattinen vastapesu, mopin automaattinen lämpökuivaus ja tutka 360- asteen matalaprofiilinen-kiinnijäämisenesto. Niistä teollisuudelle automaattinen kastelutoiminto on jälleen kerran murtanut automaattisen lakaisukoneteollisuuden teknologisen innovaation ja johtanut alan uutta kehitystä.
Comment: After two years, Yunjing released the second product J2 based on the original product, which has functions such as automatic water supply and automatic addition of cleaning fluid. Compared with the automation of sweeping functions, the realization of mopping automation is more complicated. The highlight of Yunjing J2 is the addition of the optional "up and down" module. This time users don't even need to change the water, and will never stop the robot work because of forgetting to change the water tank. The addition of the "up and down module" allows the sweeping and mopping robot to be further automated, and at the same time, it lowers the threshold for users to use, and completely realizes the full automation of the mopping function. Yunjing uses innovative technology to refresh users' original knowledge of sweeping and dragging robots, enhance user experience, and once again lead the new development of the industry.
Yunjing Intelligent was established in 2016. After three years of research and development, it has developed a sweeping and dragging integrated robot J1 with "mop self-cleaning" function. The product was officially launched on the domestic market on Double 11 in 2019. Ten thousand sales, became famous in the first world war. Since the launch of Yunjing J1, many robot vacuum brands have been interested in the "base station plus robot" model. Brands including Roborock, Xiaomi, Cobos and Zhimi are all following up with sweeping and dragging robots in the "base station plus robot" model.
Tämän vuoden 618 jakson aikana Cloud Whale J1 saavutti yli 100 miljoonan myynnin 9 minuutissa myyntipäivänä; tämän vuoden syyskuun lopussa julkaistua uutta tuotetta J2 on myyty yli 70,000 kuukaudessa; Double 11:n aikana Cloud Whale suoritti saman ajanjakson viime vuonna hyvässä alussa. 150 kertaa myynti. Kuluttajamarkkinoiden suosion lisäksi Yunjing Smartia suosivat myös pääomamarkkinat. Tällä hetkellä se on saanut päätökseen C-sarjan rahoituksen. Sijoittajia ovat Source Code Capital, ByteDance ja Sequoia Capital.
Why does the cloud whale sweeping and mopping robot attract the attention of consumers? The main reason is that it mopping the floor is clean and does not require the user to wash the mop by hand. After mopping the floor, it can automatically return to the base station to clean the mop. Free the user from the "semi-automatic" mopping state, so that the sweeping and mopping robot can mop the floor automatically. Yunjing took the lead in realizing the self-cleaning function of mops, redefining the consumer market's perception of sweeping robots, and bringing a new development direction to the industry.
The author found that in addition to making good products, Yunjing Smart also began to pay attention to webcast marketing. At present, it has formed a live broadcast matrix of "Brand self-broadcast plus Daren live broadcast plus Tmall official live broadcast", attracting audiences through live broadcast display and detailed explanation of products, increasing the exposure of brands and products, and gradually boosting sales.
Lakaisurobottien markkinat ovat yli 100 miljardia 3,6 miljardin yuanin rahoituksen saamiseksi.
On October 20, Chase Technology announced that it had received 3.6 billion yuan in Series C financing. This round of investment was led by Huaxing New Economy Fund, CPE Yuanfeng, Country Garden Venture Capital's strategic investment, Yunfeng Fund, Panze Assets and other co-investments, and old shareholders Xiaomi Group, Shunwei Capital, IDG Capital and additional investment. After this round of financing, at the technical level, Chaimu Technology will continue to invest in the two major aspects of high-speed digital motors and AI algorithms. On the product side, Chaimu has begun to further explore more high-speed motor applications.
Comment: For high-tech companies, the integration of essential technology and life is the path that companies should take. As a smart and clean home appliance company, Chaimi Technology has raised 3.6 billion yuan in Series C financing, becoming the largest financing in the field of small home appliances since 2021. Half of Chaimi's RD teams come from universities of science and engineering such as Tsinghua University. The work of these people is characterized by quantification and precision. Therefore, we see that Chaimu's products rotate very fast. In the process of using the product, the user experience effect is good and the product reputation is driven.
At present, Chaimi sweepers and other products are gaining momentum in China, but most of its products are sold overseas, including the United States, France, Russia, Japan and South Korea, etc. The overseas market has become Chaimi's second leg.
Olipa kyse jälkimarkkinoilla tai ensimarkkinoilla, se osoittaa, että sijoittajat ovat optimistisia lakaisurobottien suhteen. Vuonna 2021 robottipölynimuriyritysten rahoitusta on ollut yli 10 ja lähes jokaisella brändillä on kymmenien miljoonien rahoitus. Toukokuun 26. päivänä lakaisurobottimerkki Wali ilmoitti saaneensa päätökseen kymmenien miljoonien yuanin A-rahoituksen; 15. kesäkuuta Lesheng Intelligent ilmoitti saaneensa päätökseen kymmenien miljoonien juanien rahoituskierros; 19. heinäkuuta, Yuli valmistunut 50 miljoonaa Rahoituskierros; Syyskuun 21. päivänä Trifo sai päätökseen satoja miljoonia yuaneja C1-rahoituskierroksella; lokakuussa Chau Mi Technology valmistui 3,6 miljardia yuania C-rahoituskierroksella, mikä teki uuden alan rahoitusennätyksen; marraskuussa Beetle Intelligence ilmoitti saaneensa kaksi rahoituskierrosta päätökseen, kokonaisrahoitusmäärä yli 100 miljoonaa.
Earlier, many research institutions stated that the robot vacuum market is a market of 100 billion yuan. UBS's forecast also indicates that by 2025, the global and China sweeping robot markets will reach 13 billion and 5 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. According to the report of CITIC Securities "Sweeping Robot Industry Special in Machinery Industry", the current penetration rate of domestic sweeping robots in urban households is still less than 8 percent , which means that the sweeping robot market is a "gold mine" that has yet to be tapped.
The author thinks that when the sweeping robot can truly replace humans to complete the cleaning work, the sweeping robot will become a household necessity like a washing machine. Household robot companies need to "understand people" in order to serve people. The essence of understanding requires technology accumulation, and opportunities often arise from variables. Previously, Roborock had won the recognition of consumers and the market with its self-developed laser navigation technology, and Yunjing Intelligent had also used its "mop self-cleaning" technology to break out of the siege, and its market value has increased more than ten times. Robot sweeping is a fiercely competitive track, but as long as companies can grasp one of the pain points in sweeping and mopping to make a breakthrough, it means that there is a great opportunity to seize the traffic code and monetize through new products.
Kaksinkertainen 11 puhdistuslaitetta osoittavat suurta kasvua, ja kokonaismyynti oli 5,53 miljardia yuania
AVC:n online-seurantatiedot osoittavat, että Double 11 -jakson aikana siivouslaitteiden kokonaismyynti oli 5,53 miljardia yuania, mikä on 35,7 prosentin vuosikasvu-verrattuna-vuotta ja vähittäismyynti oli 3,152 miljoonaa yksikköä. , vuosi-laskua-2,5 prosenttia edellisvuoteen verrattuna. Markkinasegmenteillä katsottuna lakaisuroboteista ja pesureista on tullut kaksoismoottoreita, jotka ajavat siivouslaitteiden kasvua. Niistä itsepuhdistuvilla{13}}lakaisurobotilla on nopea kasvuvauhti. Double 11 muodostaa 75 prosenttia kaikista lakaisuroboteista. Lattianpesurit suoritettu Double 11:n aikana. Ei paha.
Comment: In addition to the health factors brought about by the epidemic, the rise of clean small home appliances is also a crucial factor in driving the rapid growth of the industry, as well as the substantial improvement of industry technology and the upgrading of consumers' quality of life. In the past two years, the increase in product functions and technical upgrades of sweeping robots have stimulated consumer demand to a certain extent. Such as the self-cleaning mop function, after mopping the floor, the sweeping and mopping robot does not need the consumer to manually wash the mop. The sweeping and mopping robot can clean the mop by itself when it returns to the base station, freeing the user's hands. Another example is AI recognition, which solves the obstacle avoidance problem of sweeping robots for small objects, allowing products to better complete cleaning tasks in complex home environments.
The rise of clean small appliances is inseparable from the "home economy" and "lazy economy". For young consumers, they are willing to pay for a convenient life. For most young people, doing housework is a waste of life. Using sweeping and mopping robots to sweep and mop the floor can free up more time for them to enjoy life.
Tällä hetkellä kaikki markkinoiden{0}}huippuluokan lakaisu- ja moppausrobotit voivat toteuttaa itse-puhdistuvia moppeja tai automaattisia pölynkeräystoimintoja, mikä tuo käyttäjille mukavan elämäntavan. Juuri näiden tehokkaiden toimintojen ansiosta lakaisurobottikategoria on kasvanut voimakkaasti, ja siitä on tullut alan yleinen trendi. Julkisten tietojen mukaan yli 3000 plus -segmentin tuotteen vähittäismyynti pölynimurimarkkinoilla Double 11:n aikana on kasvanut. Itsepuhdistuvien-tuotteiden keskihinta on 4 289 yuania, ja ei--itsepuhdistuvien-tuotteiden keskihinta on vain 1 745 yuania. Itsepuhdistus Double 11:n aikana Lakaisurobottien myynnin osuus oli 75 prosenttia, mikä on 59 prosenttia enemmän kuin viime vuoden vastaavana aikana.
Tietojen näkökulmasta kotimainen lakaisurobottiteollisuus on läpikäymässä laadullisia muutoksia, ja yritykset pyrkivät saavuttamaan huippuluokan-markkinat. Kahden viime vuoden aikana robottipölynimuriyritykset ovat tuoneet markkinoille korkealaatuisia-tuotteita ja huippuluokan tuotteita{2}
