The Revolution in Kitchens 2024:The Rise of Smart and Portable Small Kitchen Appliances
As a small appliance manufacturer for nine years, I would like to share my thoughts after attending this Canton Fair session.
My strongest impression is that a lot of the new products at this event exhibit a high degree of intelligence, portability, health, and personalization, indicating that the industry for small kitchen appliances is being propelled by the combined forces of cutting-edge technology and humanized design, ushering in a revolution in smart kitchens for the future.
Intellectualization spreads like wildfire.
Artificial intelligence technology is developing at a rapid pace, leading to an unprecedented upsurge in the number of new kitchen small appliances that are disrupting the conventional cooking experience. Because of their precise control technology, these products have been successfully integrated with intelligent temperature control and time management modules, enabling users to enjoy professional-grade cooking results that suit their individual tastes and nutritional needs with just one key setting. A practical interpretation of the intelligent transformation of modern kitchens, we can observe that some of the products at the exhibition site also come with a large number of intelligent recipes. This means that users do not need to learn how to cook; they can simply manage all kinds of complex cooking processes by touching the mobile application on their phone.
Furthermore, a new era of voice control is gradually being ushered in for today's small kitchen appliances with the help of increasingly advanced and widely used voice recognition technology. A growing number of kitchen appliances are now fully compatible with and support voice control thanks to this innovative technology. The user only needs to speak commands to open and close the appliance or to precisely adjust the operating power and other functions; this allows for instantaneous response and a full contactless interactive experience. The comfort and convenience of use are significantly improved by this mode.
The popularity of portable kitchen appliances outdoors.
The creation and promotion of outdoor portable kitchen small appliances is in line with current trends, satisfying the majority of consumers' needs for adaptable, practical, and convenient products. This is due to changes in consumer lifestyles, particularly the growing popularity of "camping fever," "self-driving," and other leisure activities. I came across a variety of portable kitchen appliances, like an outdoor air fryer, a portable coffee maker, and a portable barbecue grill. These items are incredibly well-thought-out, lightweight, and portable, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy nature and cook whenever they want. This greatly enhances people's outdoor living experiences by providing a "mobile kitchen." This has created a whole new meaning for the term "mobile kitchen" and substantially improved people's outdoor living experiences.
Simultaneously, we observe that the potential of this particular market segment is anticipated to be more fully realized as long as small outdoor portable kitchen appliances continue to gain recognition and acceptance in the market. Outdoor portable kitchen appliances have a huge market potential and are being developed in line with the current trend of people pursuing freedom, health, and a higher quality of life. We anticipate seeing more of these new products on the market in the upcoming year.
Concepts related to environmental and health preservation inspire innovation.
In today's society, protecting one's health and the environment has become second nature. Kitchen appliances are actively addressing this concept. First and foremost, when selecting materials, kitchen appliances should ideally be made of glass, stainless steel, or another eco-friendly material to minimize the risks associated with plastic when it comes to food contact. In order to guarantee the product's longevity and safety, these eco-friendly materials also exhibit strong heat and corrosion resistance.
The addition of multifunctional personalization is a new feature.
Demands for personalization are also starting to play a significant role in driving innovation in tiny kitchen appliances. Brands have responded to market demand, launched a series of products to meet the individualized needs of various consumer groups and strive to stand out in the homogenous competition. This ranges from customized appearance design to meeting the specific dietary habits of the function set.
For instance, the look of small kitchen appliances is becoming more and more tailored to the individuality and aesthetic preferences of the user. Customers can select the ideal kitchen small appliance products based on their personal tastes and the style of their homes thanks to distinctive design elements and vibrant color combinations.
We also have a clear understanding of what consumers need when making purchases. Small kitchen appliances should be intelligent, portable, healthy, and personalized in order to gain a competitive edge. Future trends in the development of small kitchen appliances will be centered on the unwavering pursuit of deep user experience optimization, given the ongoing advancements in science and technology and the quick iterations in consumer demand. In the face of intense market competition, only businesses that can fully understand and cater to the increasingly diverse needs of customers will be able to establish a strong base in the dynamic competitive landscape and go on to lead the industry's innovation trend.
Yicheng Technology, a manufacturer of waffle makers, air fryers, indoor electric grills, and sandwich makers, has created several new products with intelligent modules like voice, infrared sensors, Bluetooth, Wifi, and so on. The company has also been looking into ways to let customers experience the joys of cooking from their perspective. With the power of innovation, we look forward to a future where small kitchen appliances will be more intelligent, convenient, and health-conscious, enabling every family to realize their dreams of a better kitchen life.
