How Far Is Zhejiang To Build The World’s Largest Intelligent Bathroom Base?

Onlangs, het ministerie van Economie en Informatietechnologie van de provincie Zhejiang heeft het bericht vrijgegeven “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” (hierna te noemen de “Plan”) for the construction of a global advanced manufacturing base in Zhejiang Province. This accelerates the construction of a global advanced manufacturing base and makes bigger and stronger intelligent door locks, intelligent home appliances, intelligent lighting, intelligent kitchen and bathroom, and other end products. This construction has a global influence on the intelligent kitchen base and intelligent bathroom base.

In de “13th Five-Year” periode, the development of intelligent sanitary ware industry has been included in the development plan of key industries in Zhejiang Province. Onder hen, Zhejiang Taizhou is the earliest and largest production of intelligent toilet industry in the country’s agglomeration. Sinds 2015, het aantal intelligente toiletbedrijven in Taizhou is snel toegenomen. The industry output value has also increased from 2 miljard yuan binnen 2015 naar 7.5 miljard yuan binnen 2020.

Zhejiang build Intelligent Bathroom Base

En in 2018, Taizhou City introduced the Work Plan for Cultivating the Smart Toilet Industry in Taizhou City. Strive to 2023, Taizhou intelligent toilet annual production exceeded 20 miljoen eenheden, the total output value of the whole industry chain exceeded 100 miljard yuan, to achieve more than 1 billion yuan enterprises more than 10. Onder hen, meer dan 5 billion yuan more than 4 ondernemingen, voor meer dan 5 enterprises landing in the capital market.

Uit gegevens blijkt dat in 2020, De omnichannelverkoop van slimme toiletten in China zal reiken 4.081 miljoen eenheden, een stijging van 20.1% jaar na jaar. Sales will reach 14.22 miljard, een stijging van 14.8% jaar na jaar. In de afgelopen jaren, het aantal slimme toiletbedrijven in de provincie Zhejiang is snel toegenomen. It has gathered large OEM manufacturers such as Taizhou Yihe, Tejer, Xima, Poon Jiebao, Quzhou Xilkang, Ningbo Jitian, enz. Especially Xilkang is the cover supplier for Wrigley to make big. These enterprises occupy the share of major brands of external assistance, but also become the basis for the construction of Zhejiang’s global influence of intelligent bathroom base.

De “14e Vijfjarenplan” Deze periode is een belangrijke fase voor het industriële internet om 5G te combineren, grote gegevens, kunstmatige intelligentie, and other new-generation information technology to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. The Plan shows that Zhejiang will plan to establish an incubation pool of intelligent manufacturing enterprises, versnellen de bouw van “toekomstige fabrieken” and intelligent factories (digitale werkplaatsen), and carry out intelligent manufacturing pilots. They will create a number of benchmark regions and clusters of smart manufacturing, and improve the classification of smart manufacturing to promote the mechanism and policy incentives.

Dit jaar, JOMO, Weimei, and Huida 5G smart factories have been launched. This has a stimulating and guiding effect on the upgrading and construction of smart factories in the industry. Met de ontwikkeling en populariteit van 5G-technologie, er zullen steeds meer 5G-keramische sanitairfabrieken verschijnen. The ceramic and sanitary industry from industrialization to digitalization has also become inevitable.

Vandaag, De digitale economie van de provincie Zhejiang groeit snel, ranking fourth in the country in terms of total volume. Its core industries are growing at an average annual rate of 15.2% in value-added, verantwoording afleggen 10.9% van het bruto binnenlands product (BBP). It ranks first in China in terms of the “digitalization of industry” index. Volgens het Plan, door 2025, the value-added of Zhejiang’s core industries in the digital economy will account for 15% of GDP and the value-added of high-tech manufacturing will account for 19% of industry above the scale.

It is worth noting that although Zhejiang intelligent bathroom base has made great progress, the current stage of the Zhejiang intelligent bathroom base, in termen van toegevoegde waarde, arbeidsproductiviteit, innovatievermogen, kwaliteitsmerk, enz., er is nog steeds een grote kloof met de mondiaal geavanceerde landen.

Take the productivity of the full labor of the manufacturing industry on the regulator, Bijvoorbeeld, in 2020, Zhejiang’s data is 235,000 yuan per person. Compared with the data of the United States, Duitsland, and Japan in 2016, this is only one-fifth of the United States and one-third of Germany and Japan. Another example is the proportion of high-tech manufacturing in the regulated industry. In 2020, the value-added of high-tech manufacturing in Zhejiang will account for 15.6% van de gereguleerde industrie, terwijl de Verenigde Staten er overheen gingen 25% in 2015 en Zuid-Korea overschreden 30% in hetzelfde jaar.

Facing up to the gap, narrowing the gap, and even in some fields and aspects to achieve the advanced global later. This is the direction Zhejiang will take during the 14th Five-Year Plan.

Volgens het Plan, Zhejiang will implement the “Adelaar actie” in depth. It focuses on components, key parts, and supporting products. It guides intelligent sanitary ware enterprises to plow deeper into niche areas and cultivate a number of the “kleine reus ” enterprises that are invisible champions and specialties. This is also an important part of the construction of the Zhejiang intelligent bathroom base with global influence.

Echter, Chaozhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, mainly in Guangdong and Xiamen, the rise of the intelligent sanitary ware industry also deserves our attention, especially the Chaozhou region intelligent sanitary ware has become the largest growth industry outside of sanitary ceramics.

Het productiegebied van Xiamen verzamelde de meeste van de momenteel beursgenoteerde sanitairbedrijven, including R&T, one of the top five suppliers of ARROW covers, Solux-technologie, which acquired the BGT Group. As well as the WDI system with AXENT and Yousheng is very noteworthy.

De Chaozhou-regio wordt gedomineerd door bedrijven als Sakurai, Mengjia, and Country Garden. Over 400 sanitary ware enterprises in the Chaozhou region are equipped with intelligent toilets for sale. In 2019, it has a total sales volume of about 3.3 miljoen eenheden, waarvan, over 3.25 miljoen eenheden worden in eigen land en ongeveer verkocht 44,000 eenheden worden geëxporteerd. Het wordt voornamelijk geëxporteerd naar de Zuidoost-Aziatische markt. Verder, it gathers the head enterprises of Foshan, Dongguan Botai, and Zhongshan Metu, a large cover supplier of Kohler. Guangdong’s production area strength is also very strong.

Whether Zhejiang’s intelligent sanitary ware can beat other production areas and become a global manufacturing base for intelligent sanitary ware.
