In today’s era of rapid technological development, “whole-house intelligence” is gradually becoming a new consumer trend in the home furnishing industry. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, smart devices have begun to enter households on a large scale. “Whole-house intelligence” has replaced the previous “single-product intelligence,” becoming a new consumer trend that young people are vying for. Young people’s enthusiasm for smart home appliances is soaring, and their consumption concepts have also undergone a significant transformation. According to the “2025 Young People’s Smart Living Trends White Paper,” consumers under 35 years old account for nearly 60% of the consumer group for smart home products. This group pays more attention to the novelty and fun of products and value for money, and is willing to pay for a better user experience. They pursue a convenient, efficient, and personalized lifestyle, and whole-house intelligence systems can precisely meet these needs. With a mobile app or voice control, you can easily remotely control various smart devices in your home, such as adjusting light brightness, controlling air conditioning temperature, and opening curtains, making life more comfortable and intelligent. The smart home industry is currently evolving from “single-product intelligence” to “whole-house intelligence,” with device interconnection becoming the core operation of this stage. Previously, consumers might have only purchased individual smart devices, such as smart speakers and smart cameras, which often lacked effective collaborative capabilities. Now, a whole-house intelligent system can integrate and interconnect various smart devices in the home, enabling information sharing and collaborative control between devices. For example, when you enter your home, the smart door lock recognizes your identity and automatically turns on the lights, adjusts the indoor temperature, and plays your favorite music, creating a warm and comfortable homecoming environment for you.
Meanwhile, policies such as trade-in programs for consumer goods are continuously stimulating the development of the smart home market. In 2025, the number of home appliances traded in exceeded 129 million, which not only provided consumers with opportunities to replace their appliances with smart ones but also promoted the popularization and upgrading of smart home products. Many consumers have replaced their traditional home appliances with smart ones through trade-in programs, further driving the development of whole-house intelligence.
From a corporate perspective, data from Tianyancha Professional Edition shows that as of now, there are over 118,000 existing or active smart home-related companies in my country. In terms of regional distribution, Guangdong Province ranks first in the number of smart home-related companies, with over 35,000 companies, accounting for 30% of the national total.
Following Guangdong are Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces. Guangdong’s leading position in the smart home field is attributed to its developed electronic information industry base, complete industrial chain, and vibrant innovation atmosphere. These advantages provide a favorable environment and conditions for the development of smart home companies. “Whole-house intelligence,” as a new consumer trend in home furnishings, is attracting more and more consumers with its unique charm and advantages. With continuous technological advancements and market development, it is believed that whole-house intelligence will play an even more important role in future home life, bringing people a more convenient, comfortable, and intelligent living experience.
