AI Enables a New Era of Scenario-Based Consumer Experiences

Leading smart home appliance brands, from Xiaomi to Midea, used AI to design a smart ecosystem for the home. Robot manufacturers such as DJI and Ecovacs showcased next-generation vacuum cleaners that can prioritize cleaning tasks and operate autonomously. In the audio sector, EDIFIER's AI-tuned headphones automatically calibrate to the user for an optimized listening experience. A wave of wireless, lightweight imaging and livestream tools—led by Hohem and Godox—targets pro‑grade content creation on the go. It signals a shift from stand‑alone products to scenario‑centric experiences that anticipate and adapt to users' lives.

Emotional Value: Gen Z Is Rewriting Consumption Logic

Helen Shen, the Vice President of RX Huabo, shared insights from the "2026 China Gift Industry White Paper" at the Gift Industry Summit Forum, noting that consumers worldwide increasingly value personalization and aesthetics — signaling a rise in "emotional consumption." As a major consumer force and core of the workforce, Gen Z prioritizes emotional connection and self-expression. Fragrance diffusers, creative homewares, and personalized appliances are no longer just functional; they serve as symbols of care and identity. This shift explains why younger consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that blend emotional resonance with practical utility.
