Recently, the Kaidishi Group announced that it has reached in-depth cooperation with TWeSee and DeepSeek, a subsidiary of TWeSee, aiming to improve its business operation efficiency and product innovation capabilities with cloud computing and artificial intelligence technology.

Smart blinds are one of the products of Smart Home, and will achieve a better integration with AI technology, or may lead to a larger product breakthrough.

In recent years, the smart door lock field has been fiercely competitive. Head brands in many fields such as electric manufacturers, security giants, and technology manufacturers have entered the smart door lock track, and competed with the head brands of traditional smart door locks through the \”price battle\”.

According to data from the National Lock Information Center, the national smart door lock enterprises were only about 600 in 2015, while in 2022, the national smart door lock enterprises had exceeded 3,000.

Technology manufacturers have advantages such as chips, channels, and strong funds, so it is difficult to resist traditional games.

A public report disclosed that before Xiaomi Ecological Link Enterprises and 360 and other companies entered the smart door lock market, the industry price base of smart door locks was generally around 2,000 yuan, but 360 raised the price of smart door locks to 700 yuan, and the price of Xiaomi Ecological Link Brand\’s hot products was also around 1,000 yuan.

The market is in the market and the competition is fierce. Many products will plan to expand their business growth goals in overseas markets, and the smart door lock brand is no exception.

Open data shows that China\’s exports of equipment and its parts will reach RMB 212.55 billion from January to May 2024 alone. Throughout 2024, the Chinese household industry has a very strong attitude and went to the back and forth to \”go out to sea\”, from Southeast Asia to North America, from Central and Latin America, growing and wearing all year round.

At the same time, the global equipment market reached a scale of nearly US$766.2 billion in 2024, which has become an extremely intriguing \”attractive\” and has attracted the resident industry to continue to \”go overseas\” in 2025.

But the \”going out to sea\” of smart doors is not that easy. Insiders analyzed that in the global smart lock market, batteries are a very important core component.

If you look at the global market, battery solutions should provide different solutions based on the differences in climate, lifestyle, concepts, and policy standards between the region. In addition, the transportation and environmental compliance of batteries are also important factors in wanting to enter the international market.

Kedish Chairman Su Qiyun once said, \”The standards of overseas products are highly unified, and the certifications of various national standards are different. We must meet the certification of that country before we can sell the products.\”

He took the example of the North American market.\” The product shape of smart locks in North America is completely different from that in China, and their user needs are completely different. Americans are more concerned about privacy and do not want to spread some of their biological identity data. Currently, we are looking at overseas markets, and more people are still using passwords.As well as swiping cards, bringing keys, or relatively traditional product shape. ”
