On November 27, 2017, the artificial intelligence technology company went out and officially released the world's first portable and waterproof wireless smart speaker, the Tichome Mini, for the domestic market.
Going to ask is an artificial intelligence company with self-developed core technologies such as speech recognition, semantic analysis, vertical search, vision-based ADAS and robotic SLAM. Since its establishment in 2012, the company has gone through six rounds of financing, with a total financing of more than 250 million U.S. dollars, and the company's valuation has exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars. It has entered the unicorn club.
Go out and ask. The TIchome Mini smart speaker launched this time can meet the user’s multi-scene mobile needs. This smart speaker has achieved voice control of more than 40 categories, thousands of smart home appliances, and children’s content, music radio, smart home, With multiple functions such as time management, news information, sports assistants, life services, and practical tools, you can interact with it with intelligent voice anytime and anywhere, and experience the intelligent life of "Walman 2.0".
New smart speakers have been launched in 2017
2017 can be said to be the first year of China's smart speakers, and it is also a year of extremely rapid development. This year, domestic Internet giants have launched their own new smart speakers, such as JD’s “Dingdong Topâ€, Ali’s smart speaker product “Elfâ€, Xiaomi’s “Xiaoai Classmate†and Baidu’s “Raven Hâ€, although Tencent has not yet It launched the previously reported smart speaker product "Ear", but it has launched two voice assistants Tencent Dingdong and Tencent Cloud Xiaowei. Coupled with the smart speaker products launched by smart technology companies in the market, the TIchome Mini, which was launched so many times, has made the smart speaker market unprecedentedly competitive.
The strategic significance of smart speakers is extraordinary
In contrast, foreign smart speaker products have been promoted on a large scale as early as 2015, and have begun to enter the popularization stage this year. Take the US market as an example. At present, technology giants such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple have their own smart speaker products. Among them, Amazon occupies a leading position due to its first-mover advantage.
The reason why small smart speakers have attracted the world’s Internet giants is not the market and the profits generated by the smart speaker products themselves. After all, none of these technology companies have bad money. The real charm of smart speakers lies in the fact that many technology companies will It serves as the practice of artificial intelligence landing, the key to smart home and the control center of the Internet of Things. Therefore, it is not just a hardware product. The content and services of the smart speaker are the core of the smart speaker product; if it is only a hardware product, Amazon may have introduced Echo to the Chinese market very early, but because of the connection behind the Echo It is the various services provided by Amazon, such as spoTIfy and amazon music music playback, sport news customized news, and Uber taxi rides, etc. Since Amazon's life services have no market accumulation in China, this limits Echo's market prospects in China.
It is precisely because of the potential importance of smart speakers to smart life that these technology companies all hope to cultivate users' habits of using smart speakers and increase their consumer stickiness to the company's smart speakers, so as to use the port of smart speakers to provide more services/ The content is promoted to a large number of users, and then seeks a strategic advantage in the future intelligent society. Therefore, whether Baidu, Ali, etc. are making smart speakers according to their own corporate genes, for example, Baidu focuses on technology output, while Ali is doing ecology. In the future, Tencent’s launch of its own smart speaker products is likely to focus on open platforms. After all, its subsidiaries Possess high-quality resources such as WeChat, QQ reading, and QQ music.
Frequent changes in the smart speaker market pattern
At present, competition in the smart speaker market is becoming increasingly fierce with the addition of Internet giants and emerging technology companies. However, due to the accumulation of brands and marketing channels of giant companies, they have inherent advantages in promoting their own smart speaker products, such as Dingdong, Xiaomi, and Tmall. Once these giant companies launch new products, this emerging industry market structure will be very important. Big changes. The most typical one is that in 2015, JD.com launched the Dingdong generation. With the help of JD’s platform promotion and online sales capabilities, it accounted for 65% of the entire smart speaker market in 2016. With the addition of Xiaomi and Tmall, these giant companies may rely on brands. Influence or with the help of the platform also accounted for a larger market share in a short period of time. Data show that from January to August 2017, Dingdong occupied the first place with 38% market share, followed by Xiaomi with 32%, and Tmall ranked third with 15%. However, considering that Alibaba has cut the price of smart speakers on Double Eleven this year, directly from 499 yuan/unit to 99 yuan/unit, the discount is unprecedented. Finally, the sales volume of Tmall Genie exceeded one million on that day. This market pattern There should be a big change. Frequent changes in the market structure also indicate the fierce competition in this emerging field, and the determination of many big names to point out the future of smart life is self-evident.
Bright prospects for the development of smart speakers
At present, market participants have a clear understanding of the important strategic significance of smart speakers. However, the business model of smart speaker products is not clear. After all, smart speakers are just a part of smart home/life. The technology and services of smart speaker products are influenced by home furnishings. The overall layout and development trend of the intelligent ecology. However, judging from the existing technologies and services of smart speakers, it is enough to attract many users to experience consumption, and with the further development of voice interaction and other technologies, the market demand for smart speakers will expand rapidly in the future. It is estimated that by 2022, the global smart speakers Shipments will reach 68 million units, with an average annual market growth rate of more than 30%.
