10: 00-Fengkou Research. Here comes Superman! Is the mobile Internet of Things about to explode?

Tik Tok’s Dream on! Jingjing ended strongly, and the micro-short drama market ushered in the "number one player"!

 

On the 25th of this month, Tik Tok, Didi, and Zhenledao jointly created a boutique miniseries "Dream on! Jingjing officially ushered in the end. As the first boutique miniseries produced by Tik Tok, Dream on! Jingjing was immediately sought after by users all over the network after it was launched. After only 48 hours of broadcasting, the number of related topics was over 100 million. By the end of the series, the number of main topics was 720 million, the number of feature films was over 110 million, and the total number of official shakes was over 290 million, making it the first phenomenon-level miniseries this year.

With the rise of online content and the popularity of users’ fragmented drama-chasing mode, since last year, various platforms have laid out mini-short drama tracks, and Tik Tok even called mini-short drama "tomorrow’s drama series". This time, with the help of "Dream! Jingjing’s entry into the mini-short drama market is not only a reflection of Tik Tok’s initiative to adapt to the needs of Internet users as a short video platform, but also an inevitable requirement for Tik Tok to move closer to upstream production from the middle and lower reaches after establishing a perfect entertainment marketing ecology. With "Dream on! Jingjing, Tik Tok will also launch 30+ S-class boutique miniseries this year to promote the development of the entire miniseries market with high-quality content.

"Dream on! Jingjing ended in high heat.

In the picture, Jingjing, who was dumped by her ex-boyfriend, is moping alone. At this time, the voice of live delivery in Li Jiaqi came from the mobile phone: this blind box of love can make lovelorn girls get an unprecedented love experience … This is Tik Tok’s online miniseries "Dream on! The first episode of Jingjing begins. As the first all-star love hilarious cross-screen miniseries in China, "Dream on! The popularity of Jingjing has soared since its launch, among which 20 male actors of # Jin Jing’s new drama once rose to the first place in the hot search list of Weibo. In Tik Tok Station, 19 topics accumulated on the hot list during the broadcast of the series, with a total of 24 days on the list. Among them, the challenge of boyfriend’s cross-dressing in # Gufeng Blind Box was linked with Chu Qi and many other top experts, and the number of topics played was as high as 2500w W.

In Dream on! After the close of Jingjing, fans from Tik Tok, Weibo, Douban and other platforms can’t wait to start looking forward to the second season. Some fans petition that the original cast can continue to play next season, and some viewers express the hope that the official can launch the same "blind box". In the comments on the closing episode of the twentieth episode, a Tik Tok user said that he happened to be in a lovelorn period just like Jingjing, the protagonist, while dreaming! Jingjing is short in length, but each episode can bring happiness to people. On Douban, after watching the question mark boyfriend played by Yu Jingtian in the last episode, some viewers admitted that "it’s so good to cry": my boyfriend may not be the most perfect, but a plain life can be very romantic.

As the first work of Tik Tok’s mini-drama market, Dream on! There are three important reasons why Jingjing can frequently go out of the circle and gain a double harvest of clicks and word of mouth after it is launched. First of all, it originated from the innovative story of the play, "Dream on! Jingjing revolves around Jingjing, a senior girl. Jingjing, who is in the mood for love, fell into the trough of her life because of lovelorn love. At this time, a "love blind box" with magical functions appeared. Through this product, Jingjing can experience the wonderful experience of falling in love with 20 different types of virtual blind box boyfriends in her dreams.

"Dream on! The plot of Jingjing seems to be unconstrained, but in fact it brings enlightenment to the current urban men and women with humorous style. For example, in the second episode, Jiro Wang, a popular actor, appeared as an "uncle boyfriend", and the handsome appearance of sunshine made Jingjing a "girl fan". However, just when the audience thought that the plot would continue to develop in the direction of "overbearing president fell in love with me", the screenwriter gave everyone a blow. The object of Jingjing’s dream of "uncle love" was actually a greasy and bald middle-aged man, which told the audience that the ideal was full and the reality was very skinny. For example, when she was in love with Hao Fushen, her boyfriend, Jingjing understood that the "little suckling dog" boyfriend she had missed so much actually had a naive side … It was by showing Jingjing’s love experience with different types of boyfriends, "Dream on! Jingjing explains the difference between reality and ideal to the audience, and also discusses various possibilities in urban love, thus gaining the emotional resonance of users and spontaneously joining the drama-chasing camp.

Secondly, Dream on! The reason why Jingjing can continue to be popular is also inseparable from the top production team and luxury card company of the series. This drama is the first self-made mini-short drama in Tik Tok, which is combined with Didi, Zhenledao and other head companies to integrate resources, aiming at creating the first S+ level boutique short drama in the whole network. At the same time, Dream on! Jingjing also invited Liu Ruifang, a 10 billion box-office producer who once created the series "People on a Embarrassed Road" and Dying to Survive, as the chief producer, and the joining of a popular actor such as Jin Jing, Michael Chen, Leon and Jiro Wang made this miniseries even more icing on the cake. Actors also show off their charms in the drama, such as Jiro Wang, who first appeared in the style of long trousers and baldness, Dylan, who showed the style of women’s clothing, and Henry, who appeared in a red Chinese-style chest covering, etc., all of which contributed a lot to the drama and became a hot topic of drama powder. In addition, in the casting, "Dream on! Jingjing also boldly launched KWIN, Yu Jingtian, Saixixi and other newcomers, and their subsequent performances in Youth with You 3 made the audience see more possibilities from them.

Finally, Dream on! The continuous fermentation of Jingjing’s popularity is also closely related to the innovative marketing game introduced by Tik Tok. The play started with the topic of "blind box", which is popular among young people at present, and successfully attracted the attention of the audience. In Dream on! During the launch of Jingjing, Tik Tok also pushed out the popular boyfriend heartbeat list in the station, calling on users to call for their idols, thus unlocking more exclusive tidbits. By the end of the campaign, more than 400w fans had voted, and KWIN ranked first in the heartbeat list with 814,200 votes. In this way, Tik Tok has fully aroused the enthusiasm of users for pursuing dramas. With the spontaneous participation of a large number of users, it has boosted the second fermentation of the reputation of dramas, thus attracting more "tap water" to join the drama-pursuing camp and continuously increasing the exposure for the dramas.

Why does Tik Tok enter the miniseries market?

After years of deep cultivation in the field of film and television publicity, Tik Tok entered the miniseries market for the first time as a newcomer, and launched the first boutique miniseries "Dream on! Jingjing has made a series of remarkable achievements, and Tik Tok chose to enter the miniseries market at this time, which, in my opinion, has four advantages.

First of all, it comes from users’ demand. According to the Research Report on the Development of Network Audiovisual in China in 2020, the number of short video users in China has reached 818 million, accounting for a rising proportion. According to the White Paper on Entertainment in Tik Tok in 2020, users’ demand for quality content is increasing, and women account for 59% of the users who pursue dramas in Tik Tok, becoming the main audience in the drama market in Tik Tok. On this basis, it is just the right time for Tik Tok to enter the miniseries. According to the list of the first batch of Tik Tok miniseries released by Tik Tok in 2021, it can be seen that these works mainly focus on love, sweet pets and other themes, which can accurately locate the users in the circle and also play an important role in laying the foundation for Tik Tok’s layout in the miniseries market.

Secondly, Tik Tok’s choice to enter the miniseries market actually coincides with the current development trend of content. Since 2012, various platforms have launched a series of short drama prototypes, such as "diors man" and "Best Lady", which have given birth to rich soil for the development of short dramas; With the popularity of short video platforms in recent years, users’ demand for high-quality mini-short plays is also increasing. At this time, entering the mini-short play market can be said to be the embodiment of Tik Tok’s compliance with the development trend of content. As the head short video platform in the industry, Tik Tok’s participation will also effectively boost the development of high-quality mini-short plays.

In addition, this year, the competent authorities further clarified the production standard of "network miniseries", which means that the brutal growth of miniseries in the past is expected to change. On this basis, Tik Tok also actively responded to the management requirements of the competent authorities. After officially entering the boutique miniseries track this year, Tik Tok formulated and published a unified standard for miniseries that meets the requirements of the Tik Tok platform, including four indicators: single episode of 1-5 minutes, more than 12 episodes, vertical screen and comprehensive duration of more than 24 minutes. With the first miniseries "Dream on! With the launch and popularity of Jingjing, Tik Tok is also expected to assume the role of the founder, and promote the development of the mini-short drama market towards maturity and standardization.

Tik Tok platform has a natural advantage in entering the mini-short drama market. On the one hand, Tik Tok has a huge user group. At present, DAU in Tik Tok has exceeded 600 million. For a long time, the platform has accumulated a large number of drama-chasing groups, cultivated users’ drama-chasing habits, and has already possessed the soil for incubating miniseries; On the other hand, Tik Tok has been deeply involved in the field of film and television publicity for many years, and he can accurately grasp the user’s interest points. However, the miniseries are concise in plot and compact in rhythm, which is highly consistent with the consumer psychology of Tik Tok users. According to the "2020 Tik Tok Entertainment White Paper", the amount of story content submitted by Tik Tok Platform is as high as 5.9 billion, and the penetration rate of consumer users is 93%. Driven by the dual needs of users and the development of the industry, the development of boutique micro-short drama business in Tik Tok can be described as a natural thing.

30+S-level boutique miniseries throughout the year

What signals did Tik Tok release to the industry?

Dream on! Jingjing, Tik Tok has laid a solid foundation for entering the micro-short drama market. In this year, Tik Tok is expected to produce 30+ S-class quality mini-short plays. In its first batch of films, in addition to Dream! In addition to Jingjing, it also includes Don’t be afraid, fall in love! "Nanxiang Technical School", "The Moment of Stars" and "Why do you want to celebrate the New Year? ! There are 5 mini-short plays, etc., which meet the viewing needs of different audiences with various types of works. As a newcomer to the miniseries market, what kind of business logic is behind the layout of miniseries market in Tik Tok, and what signals are released, which are all the concerns of the whole industry.

After years of deep cultivation in the field of entertainment content, Tik Tok has accumulated rich experience. From the initial announcement and production of comprehensive film and television content to the self-made miniseries, after establishing a perfect entertainment marketing ecology, it is the general trend to move closer from the middle and lower reaches to the upstream production end, and entering the miniseries market can also promote the diversification of Tik Tok’s entertainment ecology. Dream on! Tik Tok will gradually become a co-creator of entertainment content, starting with fine miniseries such as Jingjing.

With the launch of more fine miniseries, Tik Tok will also promote the coordinated development of the whole industrial chain and achieve a win-win situation. According to the White Paper on Entertainment in Tik Tok in 2020, in the 30+ S-level boutique miniseries planned to be launched in 2021, Tik Tok will carry out in-depth cooperation with head film and television production companies such as Zhenledao, Huayi Chuangxing, Tangren Film and Television, and head brokerage companies such as Wow Wow, Lehua, and cooperate with IP parties such as tomato novels to push miniseries into a batch and systematic development mode. This signal released by Tik Tok means that the platform has been laid out in advance in terms of IP supply, content quality and star lineup, and by integrating the advantages of the platform and multi-party resources, copyright owners, content producers and platforms can achieve multi-win results.

In addition, in the era when content is king, fine miniseries are becoming the core driving force of Tik Tok’s content consumption. With the launch of more fine miniseries in the future, it can also feed back the development of the platform-on the one hand, it attracts more users with good content internally, improves the user retention rate and effectively helps the growth of platform users; On the other hand, fine miniseries are easier to get out of the circle, which in turn can increase the volume of the platform and enhance the brand image of Tik Tok.

With the launch of the next 30 +S quality mini-short plays, I believe Tik Tok will soon become an innovator and leader in the market, and be promoted from a newcomer to the "number one player" in the mini-short play market.

RCEP market welcomes "China Pineapple"! The annual output value soared to 2.5 billion yuan, and Xuwen pineapple unlocked the "sales password"

  (CCTV Finance "Economic Half-hour")In the last five years, a southern fruit has created a sales miracle. In five years, from the lowest purchase price of 0.3 yuan to the highest price of 3 yuan, this fruit, which creates a sales miracle, is Xuwen pineapple produced in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. As the hometown of pineapple in China, xuwen county has planted one third of the country’s pineapples. As the "vanguard" of Lingnan Jiaguo’s listing, at present, Xuwen pineapple is about to be listed on a large scale, and the local government, enterprises and farmers are actively preparing for it.

  Fresh-cut fruits have sprung up everywhere.

  Small pineapple fruits are favored.

  At the end of February, xuwen county, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province gradually ushered in the "sweet" pineapple harvest season.

  Affected by climate, light, soil fertility, planting methods and other factors, some pineapples can only grow into small fruits of 4 to 9 taels. Although there is no difference in taste with conventional pineapples, they were not favored by buyers in the past and could only rot in the ground, causing huge waste.

  What has changed this phenomenon is a group of fresh-cut pineapple processing enterprises that have appeared in Xuwen in recent years. They specialize in purchasing small pineapple fruits. After the small pineapple enters the factory, it becomes a fresh-cut fruit preserved in cold storage. Enterprises are then transported by cold chain and sold to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and other provincial markets through e-commerce and other channels.

  Li Taiji’s processing plant was built in 2020. Last year, the sales of fresh-cut pineapples reached more than 3.1 million Jin. In order to cope with the upcoming order peak in March, we are now expanding employment.

  Xue Junnan is the general manager of the supply chain of a fresh chain brand. Seeing that Xuwen pineapple is about to be listed on a large scale, he came to the enterprise. In addition to routinely checking the production workshop and checking the quality of supply, he also brought this year’s procurement plan.

  Xue Junnan, general manager of a fresh chain supply chain:This is an emerging consumer industry that is very in line with the "lazy economy". On our platform alone, the sales volume of a single fresh fruit pineapple last year was around 13 million yuan. This year, we also hope to make great efforts to bring about 20% to 30% growth.

  The government acts as a salesman.

  You buy pineapples, I’ll stay free.

  Xuwen pineapple is the "vanguard" of Lingnan Jiaguo listed every year, and its sales are directly related to the livelihood of 150,000 pineapple farmers in xuwen county for one year. When the company is fully preparing for the pineapple harvest season, Yang Fanfan, deputy secretary of the Party Group of Xuwen Agricultural and Rural Bureau, is also busy inspecting the hotel. Since 2020, the government has taken the lead in establishing a buyer alliance, and provided free hotel accommodation for foreign buyers, with a total investment of about 1 million yuan.

  Xuwen county is the largest pineapple production base in China, and three out of every 10 pineapples in China are produced here. The unique geographical and climatic conditions make the pineapple produced here big, juicy, crisp, sweet and fragrant, and become a protected product of geographical indications in China.

  Qujiae Town in the east of xuwen county is the township with the largest pineapple production in Xuwen, with a pineapple planting area of 130,000 mu and an annual output of more than 260,000 tons. It is a veritable "pineapple sea". Although March-May is the peak of Xuwen pineapple listing, in late February, Luo Fei, a large planter in Qujie Town, sent tens of thousands of kilograms of early-maturing fruits to the pineapple trading center here. Tens of thousands of pounds of pineapples can be sold at any time, which was something he couldn’t even think about a few years ago.

  Luo Fei still clearly remembers that Xuwen pineapple had a bumper harvest in 2018, but the minimum purchase price fell to 0.3 yuan per kilogram, far below the cost price, and fruit farmers suffered heavy losses.

  In a normal year, at the latest in early May, the pineapple sales in Guangdong will come to an end. However, at that time, we waited until the midsummer of June. In the largest pineapple trading market in xuwen county, fruit farmers were still waiting for the arrival of buyers, selling pineapples for several hundred yuan a car.

  In Qujie, the surplus money of fruit farmers after selling fruits is used to being deposited in the postal savings bank of the town. In the bumper harvest year of 2018, the annual deposits here decreased by 12.3% compared with the previous year.

  In order to get rid of the curse of "high yield but no harvest" of agricultural products, in 2019, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs sent a working group to Xuwen before the pineapple was listed. Members of the working group include experts from e-commerce platforms and media.

  They showed their magic power, invited more than 300 professional buyers from all over the country and held the first pineapple production and marketing matchmaking meeting in Xuwen history. However, the staff in the agricultural sector work part-time as waiters in the production and marketing of agricultural products, thus opening the curtain of building a "12221" market system in Guangdong Province.

  A series of marketing measures made Xuwen pineapple bottom out in 2019. This year, the postal savings bank, which was once deserted in Qujie town, saw a booming business, with an annual deposit increase of more than 20%.

  Nowadays, the "12221" market system has already become the password for increasing income of Guangdong’s rural characteristic industries, and Xu Wen has also continued to explore the upgraded version of 2.0. Hundreds of local anchors have been invited to the fields to guide fruit farmers to bring goods live. Let the once unsalable pineapple gradually get out of the predicament. The annual output value of Xuwen pineapple soared from 980 million yuan in 2018 to 2.5 billion yuan in 2022.

  Closely following the "1" objectives of "12221" market system, such as brand building, sales promotion, market guidance, variety improvement, and farmers becoming rich, Zhanjiang pineapple production operation center, which just started operation in 2022, is open to all pineapple farmers and buyers. The equipment in the operation center can detect the sugar content, Shui Xin and black heart of pineapples, which improves the overall quality of listed pineapples. With the matchmaking and quality control of the operation center, both parties are very worry-free in trading.

  In 2022, the operation center and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) pineapple international trading center were listed at the same time. With the help of e-commerce platform, the first national pineapple standard center, price center, merchant information collection center and pineapple big data center were built.

  In 2022, Xuwen pineapple was exported to Singapore by RCEP, which indicated that Xuwen pineapple officially entered the market of RCEP member countries as "China pineapple".

  Yang Fanfan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Group of xuwen county Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau:Up to now, the number of local small pineapple processing enterprises has reached 17, which has greatly promoted the sales of small pineapples.

  Good varieties bring good benefits.

  Golden diamond pineapple doesn’t need salt water.

  With convenient sales channels and expanding processing capacity, farmers no longer have to worry about selling. In order to make pineapple truly become a high-value fruit, it is necessary to practice hard and improve its quality.

  Chen Ruyue, a pineapple grower in xuwen county, Guangdong:Introduce some excellent varieties, fundamentally change our pineapple industry and realize industrial upgrading.

  In 2017, Chen Ruru began to introduce the planted "Golden Diamond" pineapple, which is also the most popular variety at present. Standardized and refined cultivation of golden diamond pineapple and common pineapple not only have obvious differences in appearance, but also have shallow fruit eyes without digging out or soaking in salt water, which is more convenient to eat.

  The sugar content of common pineapple is about 15%, while the sugar content of golden diamond pineapple is about 19%, which has obvious advantages.

  After several years of careful cultivation, Golden Diamond Pineapple has won market recognition with high quality. Its land purchase price is two to three times that of ordinary pineapple, and its planting area has tripled in the past three years, and it is still sold out every year.

  Fusion of Golden Pomfret and Pineapple.

  Pineapple prefabricated dishes are very popular

  In order to better develop the pineapple market and explore new consumption hotspots, in 2022, Xuwen, Guangdong Province also invited dozens of famous chefs to compete with each other and held a pineapple cooking competition.

  When the new pineapple dishes make local diners feast, the pineapple prefabricated dishes are also fragrant all the way to the foreign table. Zhanjiang has the title of "Golden Pomfret Capital of China". Local enterprises integrated golden pomfret and pineapple, and launched "pineapple golden pomfret".

  Bobby Chen, Director of R&D Center of an aquatic product enterprise in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province:The products listed last year have been sent to all of China. Last year, our first cabinet was sent to RCEP countries. At present, the traditional distribution channels and online new retail platforms are synchronized.

  At present, the company’s order for pineapple prefabricated dishes has been arranged for six months, and with the large-scale listing of Xuwen pineapple this year, they will also launch 10 pineapple prefabricated dishes online, hoping to achieve the goal of consuming 1000 tons of pineapple annually this year.

The reason for the popularity of village BA turned out to be …

Why is village BA so hot?

? Through my personal participation in the preparation of the games, I found that under the background of the country’s implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the accelerated integration of the cultural and sports tourism industry, the village BA is a starting point and cultural symbol for promoting rural infrastructure construction, integrating the cultural reconstruction of village communities, stimulating traditional folk sports and cultural tourism, and promoting young people in the new era to return home to start businesses.

?The Northeast Division of the National and American Country Basketball Competition (Village BA) was held in Guojiagou Village, 4A scenic spot in Tianjin. The scenic spot itself is also a model of the transformation and upgrading of the new countryside by cultural tourism. The competition intermittently arranged various farmers’ cultural performances such as cross talk, guzheng, martial arts and drums. This time, a total of 16 teams from eight provinces of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Luheji, Liaosu participated in the competition (all of them are the top two teams in the village BA scores of all provinces), and almost every team is actively promoting famous agricultural products and tourist attractions in their counties and townships by using jerseys, media interviews and other means.

?Villagers play village BA games together, and even travel with jerseys to compete in home and away games everywhere, which not only promotes the development of cultural tourism industry, but also promotes the cohesion and pride of many villagers in their areas, and successfully enhances the younger generation’s sense of identity with China rural clan culture. In this sense, village BA is not only a basketball match, but also an innovative way of rural grassroots governance in the new era.

?When crosstalk meets basketball, the Northeast Division of Village BA is destined to be extremely popular in Tianjin. Subsequently, we will go to Taipan, Guizhou, the birthplace of Village BA, and hold the regional competition of Southwest Division of Village BA. When the champion teams of the four regions are born, the national village BA finals will be held in the end. With the popularity of village BA in the whole country, basketball has become an important carrier and cultural symbol for rural revitalization and deep integration of cultural and sports tourism industry in China.

36Kr Going to Sea Insight | Can China mowing robot cut a new world when it goes to sea?

– Mar

. 09, 2023 –

China enterprises, gearing up, are collectively targeting overseas mowing business.

On a sunny day, a "new species" that looks like a sweeping robot is busy in an orderly way on the lawn in front of the house, leaving a beautiful lawn in the past. The owner standing in the distance showed a satisfied smile, and planned to recommend this "mowing expert" to relatives and friends … This may be the dream picture of many mowing robot enterprises at present.

With the maturity of artificial intelligence, computer vision, energy storage and other technologies, people’s demand for robots has long been not limited to B-end application scenarios, and a series of intelligent robots have entered the daily lives of consumers around the world.

Following the popular industries such as sweeping robots and smart pet products, in the past two years, the "mowing robot" track, which has no sense of existence in China and focuses on lawn care, has become the new darling of overseas enterprises. In addition to the traditional enterprises such as Bao Shide and Daye Co., Ltd., which have been engaged in grass cutting business for many years, companies such as No.9 Company (Weilan Mainland), Shenlan Technology, Cobos, which are involved in robots and intelligence, and new players such as Laifei Smart, Ruichi Smart and Hesenberg, who are aiming at the grass cutting robot track, also ran into the stadium.

For a time, in the eyes of entrepreneurs and capital, the development prospect of mowing robot track is bright. However, it can’t be ignored that the intelligent mowing robot is still in the embryonic stage of industry development, especially for China enterprises which started late.

Right now,

Most enterprises in China are still in the stage of preparing for going to sea or testing products.

New and old players are gearing up to create a lively scene of mowing robot industry. Is there really room for overseas mowing robot industry to develop for China enterprises in it? How to lay out major markets such as Europe and America? In 2023, what challenges will the China mowing robot with the property of going to sea face?

Can overseas lawns accommodate China mowing robots?

Different from China, due to the influence of "lawn culture", "mowing grass" is a long-standing need for many overseas families, especially those from Europe and North America.

According to legend, in Europe in the late Middle Ages, large lawns were laid outside the castles of nobles, which were taken care of by special gardeners. Having a beautiful and exquisite lawn is a symbol of wealth and status. After hundreds of years, private lawns are no longer the privilege of nobles, but lawn culture has continued to this day. Keeping lawns in order is related to their own faces and even social status for many European and American families. The average family has to mow lawns 2-3 times a month.

This demand makes the market scale of lawn mower industry very considerable. According to the statistics of Grand View Research, an American research institution, in 2021, the global lawn mower market has reached 30.4 billion US dollars, of which 70% comes from home scenes. At the same time, Huajing Industrial Research Institute predicted in a research report that the global lawn mower market will reach 44.1 billion US dollars in 2027.

If the considerable market scale and increasing user demand have become the incentives for China enterprises to get together and go to sea, then the extremely low market penetration rate of intelligent mowing robots now gives China mowing robot enterprises more room to play.

The development story of lawn mower can be traced back to 1830. Edwin Budding, an engineer from England, was inspired by the cloth cutting machine to create the world’s first "human mechanical lawn mower". In the next hundred years, the lawn mower experienced the "mechanical power era" which combined with mechanical power such as steam engine, internal combustion engine and electric power, and the "lithium electrification era" which built a self-propelled lawn mower based on lithium batteries. When "completely liberating manpower with intelligence" has gradually become the main goal of product building, lawn mowers have begun to transition to the era of intelligence.

However, a fact that can’t be ignored is that today, hand-propelled or riding lawn mowers that rely on manpower are still the mainstream. Among them, most consumers will choose hand-push lawn mower when choosing home lawn mower. This leads to the low market penetration rate of intelligent mowing robots. Relevant data show that the annual shipment of intelligent mowing robots is only 900,000 units, and the market penetration rate is only 4%.

At the same time, mowing is a very "time-consuming and laborious" job, which requires blowing leaves and watering before mowing, trimming and trimming after mowing, etc. It usually takes several hours to complete with the traditional lawn mower. Driven by lazy economy and intelligent life, it is only a matter of time before more humanized mowing robots become the mainstream. Therefore,

For China enterprises, the global lawn mower market of more than $30 billion has a large space for category substitution.

The relatively relaxed competitive environment is another reason for China enterprises to enter the mowing robot.

Although leading mowers such as Fu Shihua and Bao Shide have begun to re-inject the intelligence of lawn mower products, companies such as No.9 Company (Weilan Mainland), Cobos, Songling Robot, Ruichi Wisdom, Shenlan Technology, Laifei Intelligent, Hesenberg, and ULsee are also actively deploying overseas markets, but as mentioned above, the mowing robot market is still in its early stage, and most enterprises’ products are in the testing stage, and enterprises that can form absolute brand influence have not yet appeared.

To sum up,

The large consumer demand, considerable market scale, low market penetration and relatively relaxed competitive environment provide sufficient growth space for China mowing robot enterprises aiming at overseas markets.

How do China robots "harvest" European and American lawns?

According to the market distribution, 80% of the global demand for lawn mowers is in Europe and America. Among them, influenced by environmental protection policies, consumption capacity and other factors, Europe is the largest market for mowing robots, followed by the United States. So, how should China enterprises lay out the European and American markets?

First of all, the product positioning of mowing robot should be accurate.

According to the European and American markets, China enterprises need to have different product positioning. At present, the common cognition is that,

European consumers prefer high-end products, while the United States takes the mass line.

As far as the unit price of products is concerned, the price of mowing robots sold in the European market is usually around $1,300-4,000, while the price of mowing robots sold in the American market is generally lower than $2,000, which basically remains at $1,000-1,500.

Influenced by consumption power and high environmental awareness, the European market has a high acceptance of mowing robots, and the market penetration rate has reached 10%. In terms of consumption capacity, in countries or regions with high consumption capacity, such as Germany and Northern Europe, consumers generally pay attention to the quality of life, and the demand for more advanced and humanized high-end mowing robots is more urgent. In addition, European environmental regulations and policies also provide support and protection for robot products to some extent. For example, in order to encourage the development of environmental protection industry, many European countries have implemented a series of tax reduction and exemption policies, among which enterprises or consumers who buy products such as robots that meet environmental protection standards can enjoy corresponding tax concessions.

In contrast, the demand for intelligent mowing robots in the American market is low, and the market penetration rate is only 3%. The main reason is that American consumers pay more attention to "cost performance" and practicality of products than European consumers in mowing grass, and the requirements for intelligence are not so high. According to the price of Amazon Mall, the price of hand-propelled lawn mowers is basically 100 yuan, while the price of mowing robots is almost more than 1,000 yuan. Therefore, in today’s United States, the hand-propelled lawn mower with higher cost performance is still a very common tool. However, with people’s dependence on intelligent life, the demand in the American market is gradually increasing.

Therefore, in terms of product positioning, China enterprises need to lay out their products according to the consumer demand, habits and paying ability of the target market, and cannot enter the market blindly.

In addition to product positioning,

Another key word for harvesting European and American markets is "localization".

Localization is a difficult problem for almost all enterprises going to sea. On the way to the sea of China mowing robot enterprises, it is the key stage to win the favor of European and American consumers by using "good quality and low price" products and high-quality pre-sales and after-sales services. Therefore, the localization of R&D and operation teams and supply and sales channels is very important.

The first is team localization.

Compared with domestic teams, setting up R&D, operation and sales teams in overseas markets can help enterprises better understand and penetrate the target market. However, for enterprises with overseas teams, it is necessary to ensure that cross-border teams can achieve efficient collaboration.

The second is the localization of supply channels.

Stable delivery and timely delivery of products is an important part of China mowing robot’s "Jiangshan" stage. Localization of the supplier can help enterprises shorten the delivery cycle and improve the delivery stability. In view of this, enterprises can choose to build overseas warehouses in advance and cooperate with overseas factories. In addition, for enterprises with sufficient funds, building overseas manufacturing bases is also one of the options.

The third is the deployment of sales channels.

As far as the current European and American markets are concerned, because the customer unit price of intelligent mowing robots is high, and most consumers are trying it for the first time, they are more inclined to buy through offline channels. China enterprises can choose local offline authorized stores or settle in local large supermarkets. Of course, with the popularity of online shopping in European and American markets, when enterprises have a certain brand awareness and audience, they can also try to settle in third-party platforms such as Amazon or create an official website mall.

China mowing robot: it’s not easy to get into the game, and it’s even harder to go out to sea.

Perhaps because of the fear of "missing the opportunity", many companies will rush into the stadium at the stage of "seeing flowers in the fog" based on the mentality of "not hitting a pole with dates" when facing the popular track. When the hot money begins to cool down and the industry begins to squeeze bubbles, these enterprises will usually become the majority to be eliminated.

Therefore, it is not enough for enterprises to just identify opportunities and go to sea strategies, and they should also have a clearer understanding of the challenges they are about to face.

For mowing robot enterprises in China, there are several mountains that stand in front of them at present, such as "burning money quickly", difficult to break through technical barriers, high product homogeneity and low consumer acceptance.

"Burning money quickly" has raised the entry threshold and made mowing robot companies complain.

The speed of burning money by mowing robots has surprised many entrepreneurs and investors. Product research and development, production, channel construction and other links need to spend a lot of money. It is estimated that a mowing robot enterprise needs at least tens of millions of yuan to make a base before putting its products into mass production. In this case, if it is not a family-owned enterprise like Bao Shide, I am afraid I can only rely on continuous financing to "continue my life". However, as far as the current situation is concerned, investors’ pockets have also begun to tighten, and corporate financing has become difficult.

Technical barriers are another pain point for mowing robots.

Nowadays, the technical maturity of mowing robots is still in short supply. From the consumer’s point of view, the current mowing robot products can not achieve "full automation", and many products still require consumers to manually model through App when they are used for the first time. In addition, limited usage scenarios will also directly affect the consumer experience. It is understood that the outdoor environment is complex, children, animals and other moving objects, even the sunlight will interfere with it, which will make the mowing robot misjudge when identifying obstacles, which will lead to failure to work normally and even cause safety hazards.

Product homogeneity is high, and no characteristics means no selling point.

The first is the appearance. At present, there is little difference in the appearance of mowing robots, and there is almost no design that can impress consumers. Secondly, there is also a problem of high homogeneity in key functions. In order to reflect the humanization, intelligence and functionality of their own products, many mowing robot enterprises are pursuing the so-called "all-in-one machine". The mowing robot not only undertakes the task of mowing the lawn, but also has the functions of blowing leaves, lawn maintenance, snow removal and so on. The homogenization of these products will directly weaken the brand clarity of enterprises in the hearts of consumers. How to establish the uniqueness of the brand while giving consideration to the functional subdivision is a huge problem for the enterprises going to sea in China.

The low acceptance of overseas consumers is another hurdle that China mowing robot enterprises need to overcome.

Judging from the usage habits, hand-propelled lawn mowers and riding lawn mowers are still the mainstream in Europe and America. How can consumers accept emerging robot products when intelligence is not yet mature? In terms of price, the price of intelligent robots is much higher than that of traditional manual lawn mowers. How to cultivate users’ trust and make them pay for robots that cost thousands of dollars?

Finally, for China mowing robot enterprises that are new to the industry, the admission of established enterprises will also hinder their subsequent development. Seeing the change of industry trend, the mower head enterprises such as Fu Shihua and Bao Shide have started the layout of intelligent products. For consumers, when trying an expensive new product for the first time, the reputation and brand power of the manufacturer behind it will become an important criterion for their choice. In the face of challenges, start-ups may be able to "find another way" from the aspects of price and service.

In 2023, China lawn mowing robot will go out to sea, and the huge market gap will still attract a large number of adventurers. In the wave after wave, enterprises that can find the right product positioning, break through technical barriers and product homogeneity, stabilize shipments, and establish reputation with high-quality services can truly take root in the overseas mowing market, and find new opportunities and new futures on flat and high-quality lawns.
