With the continuous acceleration of my country's economic development and the continuous improvement of the consumption structure, purchasing smart homes has become a new consumption trend. In the smart home market, smart locks have won the favor of many consumers with their high-quality performance.
In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, high-tech smart home products produced using emerging technologies are widely used in many fields. In the smart home market, smart locks are eye-catching, attracting many companies to conduct R&D and production. At the same time, the development of smart locks is vast, which may cause a new round of investment climax.
Broad room for development of smart locks
As early as 2014, the concept of smart home was widely proposed. However, because the industry faces a series of development bottlenecks, the smart home industry has been in the "weak intelligence" stage for a long time, and there are problems in many aspects such as product, server, and user. After a period of development, the smart home industry system has been gradually improved, and the corresponding performance of smart home products has also been improved. Up to now, the smart home industry is developing rapidly, and has now entered a new stage of "smart interconnection".
According to a report released by the research organization International Data Report (IDC), global smart home equipment will be loaded to 549.5 million units this year, an increase of 26.8% year-on-year. This indicates that this year's smart home equipment will be widely used and enter millions of households. Among the multiple product categories of smart homes, smart locks have ushered in a new period of development.
According to a report released by the market research company AlliedMarketResearch, the global smart lock market was worth US$416 million in 2016 and will reach US$1.175 billion by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.4%. The rising security awareness of modern households, the increase of smart devices, the growth of consumer disposable income, and the further development of the Internet and the Internet of Things are the main factors driving the continuous expansion of the smart lock market.
Such a huge market space for smart locks is gradually emerging, and people inside and outside the industry are rushing into the smart lock market, hoping to show their skills and make a lot of money in the field of smart locks. With the entry of many companies, technologies related to smart locks have developed rapidly, and smart lock R&D companies have accelerated the pace of research and development of related technologies.
Smart lock products are favored by users
Classified by end users, smart lock users are mainly divided into commercial users (enterprises, government agencies, research laboratories) and residential users. With the improvement of people's safety awareness, smart locks have become a must-have for many families. Smart locks are welcomed by many families, one of the main reasons is that smart lock technology continues to mature.
From the perspective of the overall application technology of smart locks in my country, smart locks have evolved from the early one-way instruction input era to today's era of the Internet of Things.
Specifically, in terms of security technology applications, the smart lock industry generally uses fingerprint recognition, electronic passwords, mobile APP and other higher-level unlocking methods in the process of reproduction; in the way of connecting smart locks and platforms, smart locks are also It is transitioning from Bluetooth connection and WIFI connection to the NB-IOT IoT technology era; in terms of intelligence and humanization, most products in the smart lock industry can have a certain interconnection with the user’s device, providing users with alarm reminders, Anti-pry reminder, family reminder and other functions.
For now, fingerprint locks have become the mainstream of smart locks. In terms of the technology used, it can be specifically divided into optical fingerprint modules and semiconductor fingerprint modules. Among them, the optical fingerprint module has the advantages of low cost, large collection area, and good wet finger adaptability; while the semiconductor fingerprint module has the advantages of small size, good image acquisition effect, and good dry finger adaptability. These advantages have made a variety of smart locks, including fingerprint locks, widely acclaimed in the sales market.
Smart locks trigger the layout of many enterprises
Based on many features of smart locks, such as exquisite design, simple operation and easy learning, many users have obtained comfortable and warm product experience. Therefore, they praised the smart locks. With the continuous increase in sales of smart locks, many companies have set up special R&D institutions to promote the maturity of smart lock technology and the forward development of the entire industry.
In the context of such rapid development of smart locks, companies such as Haier and Xiaomi have joined the ranks of smart locks. For example, at the 9th China (Yongkang) International Gate Expo held in May this year, Haier’s smart “cloud lock†attracted many people to stop by. "When the smart lock is accidentally and forcibly destroyed, the community will immediately receive an alert, receive information such as the user's address, and call the police in time." Haier Product Director Miao Lufeng said that the lock will build a cloud security and community service ecosystem. This shows that smart locks are very important to the safe construction of communities and families.
Recently, Liu Jiangfeng, the founder and CEO of Merit Technology, said that Merit smart locks will be sold on May 1, and the revenue is now 30 million, and the sales target for this year is 100 million. In the next step, Merit Technology plans to deploy more than 10,000 outlets across the country to increase consumer experience opportunities.
In short, the diversified applications of businesses and homes, the uniqueness and ease of use of smart lock technology, the improvement of living standards, and the accumulation of R&D investment all contribute to the further explosion of the smart lock market. The increasing popularity of smart homes and smart technologies is expected to inject new growth opportunities into the market. In the future, smart locks will enter the homes of users across China, presenting an intelligent "doorway"!
