Smart lock industry prospects: 2018 will enter a concentrated outbreak period

The 2017 hot word, "artificial intelligence" is well deserved. First of all, the victory of the AlphaGo man-machine war, and then the technology industry has joined in, and even BAT is not far behind, and at the Wuzhen Internet Conference, artificial intelligence has also been mentioned, even as " The strongest wind in the century." The artificial intelligence that entered the window period has an amazing influence. In today's rapid development of the Internet, it seems that anyone who has the side of artificial intelligence can “get the path to rise”. In the hot sharing economy, sharing smart locks for bicycles, smart homes sharing houses, and trying to hold artificial intelligence "thighs."

After more than 10 years of long-term cultivation in the domestic smart lock market, it will enter a concentrated outbreak period in 2018. If the product of intelligent lock is analyzed objectively, the advantage of smart lock is more obvious than that of traditional door lock, which can help users to experience safe, convenient and intelligent living. And in this short period of development, the value of smart locks has been constantly highlighted, and it has undergone a series of changes.

1. Homogenization and excessive publicity lead to market confusion

In the early years of the rise of smart locks, the functions of most products are relatively simple, and the serious homogenization of products can be said to be a problem that cannot be ignored. For example, many brands of smart locks only have the most basic functions like fingerprint unlocking and password unlocking. Although such a function can meet the daily use needs of some users, it also inevitably leads to a small functional difference between products, which to some extent reduces the enthusiasm of consumers to purchase.

Due to the uneven technical capabilities of each smart lock enterprise, many products are also different in terms of unlocking speed and service life. Nowadays, there are hundreds of brands in the smart lock market, which are also full of propaganda information of various smart locks. Consumers' choices have become difficult, and inferior products have also lowered the reputation of the smart lock market.

2. Seeking differentiation under the premise of perfecting basic functions

2017 is a year of rapid development of smart homes. Under the trend of intelligence, smart home products are undergoing earth-shaking changes. Smart lock products are no exception. After years of education and development in the market, on the one hand, many consumers have been unable to satisfy the basic functions of only fingerprint unlocking and password unlocking, hoping to add more functions. On the other hand, higher requirements are placed on the security performance of smart locks.

As a result, the smart lock market has sprung up, and products such as iris recognition and finger vein recognition have emerged. In addition to these unique brands, most of the smart lock companies are still steadily and steadily, expanding and improving the performance of smart locks, making smart locks with a variety of intimate functions such as family reminders, remote keys, anti-hijacking alarms, and virtual passwords. .

In addition to the improvement of basic functions, some smart lock brands have also innovatively turned smart lock items into a smart home security ecological chain. For example, the smart fingerprint lock is connected with the mobile APP, the smart camera and the smart cat's eye, and the interconnection between multiple products can be realized through the mobile APP, and the function of the remote control is more suitable for the young consumers to live efficiently and intelligently. demand. Such differentiated products meet the deeper requirements of most people in the new era for smart locks.

3. The popularity has increased steadily and prices have become more popular.

Concerning the smart lock products in 2017, it is not difficult to find that the price of smart locks has gradually become civilian and more stable than the previous two years. In the past, due to factors such as hardware and production costs, the price of smart locks has remained high, so the audience is basically concentrated in high-end residential areas. Nowadays, with the price advantage highlighted, smart locks have become a must-have for mass consumption.

Due to the standardization of the market, the price of smart locks has gradually become transparent. Even some international brands whose prices have been generally high have not lost their product positions that the average consumer group can afford. The rationalization of prices and the standardization of the market have on the one hand improved the entry barrier of smart locks, and on the other hand allows consumers to objectively compare the advantages and disadvantages between products, thus selecting more suitable smart lock products.

4. New technology integration makes products more intelligent

In 2017, we also saw the joining of many new technologies, especially in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things NB-IoT technology. Although the fingerprint lock brand using artificial intelligence technology is still a case, the strength of large state-owned enterprises such as Hongyan in smart homes makes the smart door locks more convenient for users in adapting to the whole house intelligent linkage and remote intelligent control. A full range of intelligent management services. The addition of these new technologies has made fingerprint locks smarter and has laid a solid foundation for embracing the whole house smart home system.

5. Future trends: the lock-up boom will hit

In 2018, I believe that with the further acceleration of the smart home process, the smart lock as the pioneer of smart home will also be further developed. The strengthening of basic functions and the introduction of more core functions will definitely make the practicality of fingerprint locks With greater enhancement and reliance on the enhancement of IoT technology, smart home products will soon be able to be quickly integrated through the network, and smart locks will become a must-have product for more families.
