Smart home show in 2022 will be held in Shanghai New International Expo Center from March 17 to 20, 2022. It provides a precious opportunity for domestic and foreign enterprises of home appliances and consumer electronics to communicate with each other on the supply side and the demand side. It is a platform to show innovation results to consumers and capture their needs and pain points.

Among smart home products, smart home appliances, smart locks, smart speakers and smart cameras are the most frequently used, accounting for 19.6%, 18.1% and 17.7%, respectively. In addition, the use of smart cameras also reached 12.5 percent. In the development process of smart home, wireless protocol and product iteration and upgrade are fully integrated, while showing different trends, one is the fusion of a variety of wireless protocols, the other is the introduction of new protocols into the market.

1, wireless technology fusion power smart home cross-scene linkage.

Throughout the development of smart home, the early intelligent products are mainly single product intelligence, now the product category from single product intelligence to whole house intelligence, user experience from single point control to scene fusion, at the same time human-computer interaction is also to AI voice and vision direction of rapid evolution. The most obvious change in recent years is the fusion of a variety of wireless protocols to achieve cross-scene linkage of smart home. In order to comply with the development trend, many domestic intelligent home upstream and downstream industry chain players have already had a new layout. The coexistence of multiple protocols realizes the complementary advantages of wireless technologies. For equipment vendors, one product can realize most application scenarios of end-to-end connection of smart home, which can more flexibly and efficiently meet users' demands for high-speed network and bring the best application services.

2. Users don't pay? There are challenges to further penetration of Wi-Fi 6.

In recent years, routers and TVS, set-top boxes, PCS and other scenarios have increased the demand for data transmission speed, and Wi-Fi 6 technology has made a big splash in the smart home field. Starting in 2019, mainstream vendors at home and abroad began to enter the Wi-Fi 6 market, which is expected to reach $470 million in China this year, according to IDC.

From the speed of development, Wi-Fi 6 technology into smart home has become a general trend. However, in the context of global core shortage, the outbreak of market demand, and brought a new round of price rises. What segments of smart home are Wi-Fi 6 technologies mainly used in? As things stand, routers are the "pathfinder" for Wi-Fi 6 technology to enter the smart home. Wi-fi 6 penetration in smart homes is increasing, but that doesn't mean wi-fi 4/5 has been abandoned.

3, summary

The development of intelligent household can be regarded as quantitative change to qualitative change process. After the immersion period or "shuffling period" in the first two years, smart home is now advancing in the field of Internet of Things by creating ecological integration. In the future, with the integration of communication technology and smart home products, real user interaction will be realized, and a new window for the development of smart home industry will be opened.

Smart home show in 2022 adhering to the purpose of bold innovation and excellence, to promote the development of the industry, the exhibition will present more fresh and new highlights, gather global wisdom technology, create a better life.
