On the one hand, the home appliance industry is accelerating the internal construction of smart manufacturing.

According to relevant statistics, the sales volume of industrial robots in the 3C home appliance industry reached 20,700 units in 2016, a year-on-year increase of 47.9%. In 2017, sales are expected to exceed 28,000 units. The traditional home appliance industry is a labor-intensive industry, and the emerging wave of machine replacement has brought opportunities to the robot industry.

As manufacturing costs in the home appliance industry rise and market competition intensifies, improving the informatization, digitalization, and automation levels of home appliance process equipment and realizing lean production management have become a focus of the industry.

On the other hand, home appliance companies are seeking to develop smart manufacturing business sectors such as robots.

As a potential market for robots, people are flocking to it. "Suddenly, like a spring breeze coming overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom." Since 2015, major electrical appliance companies have begun to blow up a "robot" whirlwind. The reasons for this are probably nothing more than two points: First, as labor costs increase and the demand for intelligent upgrades increases, home appliance manufacturers need a large number of robots. Secondly, the home appliance industry is currently entering a downturn. Against the background of business diversification needs, companies are catching up with the trend of industrial upgrading.
