Sales of sweeping robots declined in 2023, down 11.4% year-on-year

In recent years, with the continuous advancement of navigation technology and obstacle avoidance, the sweeping industry has experienced rapid growth. However, data shows that the sales volume and sales of the sweeping robot industry declined in the first quarter of 2023, which has aroused people's attention to the current situation and future development of the sweeping robot market. According to survey data, in the first quarter of 2023, the sales volume of the sweeping robot industry was 678,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 14.7%; the omni-channel sales volume was 1.98 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 11.4%.

Some media believe that, in fact, the basic demand of many consumers for sweeping robots is that they can effectively clean the floor. However, many high-end robots on the market are loaded with various functions, which not only increases production costs, but also may not meet the core needs of consumers. Many consumers believe that too many functions affect the robot's ability to complete its main task - cleaning the floor.

This market decline may have sounded the alarm for the robot vacuum cleaner industry. While pursuing technological innovation, how to meet the core needs of consumers and provide more practical products that better meet consumer expectations will be a problem that robot vacuum cleaner manufacturers need to face.

In addition, sweeping robot products fall within the mandatory scope of my country, so consumers are advised to pay attention to the 3C certification mark when purchasing products. In terms of functional selection, consumers are advised to try to choose products with good three-proof capabilities, which can prevent obstacles, entanglement and falling, and improve the safety of the product to a certain extent.
