Second,global brands and enterprises face increasingly fierce competition in smart phones,smart TVs and smart connected devices. Third,competitors from around the globe are exploring uncharted waters and pursuing diversified development by adopting a cross-industry perspective.

Self-motivated: Chinese CE Brands Emerge as Global Players

Numerous strong enterprises with a global reputation,such as Huawei,Hisense and Midea,have emerged in China thanks to the preferential industrial policies and the widespread application of the latest generation of IT including the Internet of Things (IoT),big data,cloud computing,5G,artificial intelligence and virtual reality (VR). Chinese CE brands are gradually aware of the fact that smart,diversified products will be the mainstream of the market as the global CE industry evolves rapidly and the domestic market in China expands constantly. As a result,innovative technologies keep surfacing due to technological innovations and product updates. Chinese CE products gain a competitive edge on the global market by getting smarter and increasingly connected,and thus are well received by global consumers.

Zhu Dongfang,President of IDG Asia,also shares his insights on the future development of Chinese CE brands. He says,"Chinese CE brands can be traced back to as early as the 1950s. Each period has its characteristic leading brands,which bear the footprints of the great changes that took place in China's economy and society. As technology develops by leaps and bounds,the market has a higher demand for high-quality domestic products. Therefore,Chinese brands have been laying greater emphasis on technological innovations and product updates to adapt to market developments and boost global competitiveness. The latest information technologies featuring big data,5G and AI are strong enablers for Chinese brands to reach the pinnacle of intelligence. More technologically advanced products are being launched in a short span. Moreover,domestic brands are frequent entrants and winners of the Global Top Brands contest. Haier,BOE and TCL are well-received by authoritative organizations and global consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to each industry,but the CE industry sees the emergency as a blessing in disguise. The rise of Otaku Culture and Otaku Economy has created brand new opportunities for the supply and demand chains. We believe that after the coronavirus outbreak,the CE market will welcome exponential growth,and Chinese brands inject new vitality into the global CE industry."

Smart and Intelligent: Chinese CE Brands Get Bigger and Stronger

Generations of technological advances and product updates have boosted the capabilities of Chinese CE brands to make innovations. Smart phones,smart home appliances and smart connected devices have been invented and introduced into the Chinese marketplace,where there is a greater variety of cutting-edge technologies and latest products than ever before. Consequently,Chinese brands now have a greater say in global competition.

As the best performer in general,smart phones are enjoying sound growth momentum in China. The widespread application of 5G and AI has enabled Chinese brands secure a stronger foothold on the global market. IDC statistics show that in the third quarter of 2020,84,800,000 smart phones were manufactured in China,among which 49,700,000 were 5G-enabled phones. Over 90% of the color TV brands have applied intelligent technologies to their products. As breakthroughs are constantly made in 8K,AI and 5G technologies,Chinese domestic brands will have greater core competitiveness and a larger global market share. IDC predicts that by 2023,49,380,000 smart TV sets will be brought to market,making China a real-world leader in production volumes. Furthermore,the evolution of IoT also promises an interconnected era,as domestic brands work to deliver all-scene and smart solutions to inter-connectivity by focusing on technology,network and industry.

Active in Exploration: Chinese CE Brands Seek Diversified Development

It is fair to say that Chinese CE brands have shocked their foreign rivals in terms of the variety and quality of smart phones,smart home appliances and smart connected devices. They have also explored the unfamiliar sectors to seek cross-industry and diversified development. In this year's Global Top Brands List,COSMOPlat and DJI were awarded the "Global Leading Industrial Internet Ecosystem Brand" and "Video-filming Ecosystem Technology Award",respectively. The award-winning enterprises showcase the enormous innovation capabilities of Chinese CE brands. COSMOPlat will continue to offer massive,tailormade solutions for every industry across the globe and deliver an enjoyable life experience for its clients by covering a wide spectrum of sectors including clothing,food,housing,transport,healthcare,old-age care,medical services and education. DJI will overcome technical problems and offer a complete ecosystem for video-filming,thus making Chinese innovations go global.

Chinese CE brands used to merely follow their foreign counterparts,but now they are marching together with many leading global brands. In the past,domestic brands always conjured up an image of cheap and shoddy goods,but now things are different: they are dynamic forces that drive the sustainable growth of the global CE industry. Though ravaged by the pandemic,the global CE industry still witnessed the release of the Global Top Brands List. The event will create precious opportunities for Chinese CE brands to lead the world and power all CE brands to perfect themselves. By driving forward technology and product innovations,it will help usher in a smart future for the CE industry.
