The Shanghai International Home Expo observes that as digital technology deeply penetrates home life, intelligent and health-oriented home scenarios are accelerating their implementation. New experiences such as zero-gravity support in functional sofas, voice linkage of whole-home devices, and elderly-friendly smart assistance are gradually entering ordinary households, completely reshaping people's living lifestyles. Currently, China's domestic home consumption market continues to recover, with stock renewal and intelligent upgrading forming a two-way drive, effectively activating the domestic demand market and stabilizing the fundamental growth of the industry, becoming the core driving force for the high-quality development of the home industry. Consumption data shows that in the first half of this year, domestic per capita residential consumption expenditure was 3,135 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%; per capita consumption expenditure on daily necessities and services was 847 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.3%. Segmented consumption demands such as partial old house renovation and whole-home intelligent upgrading continue to heat up, with market vitality continuously released.

At the policy level, favorable policies continue to be released, escorting the intelligent and health-oriented transformation of homes. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the implementation of the "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline. The national health consumption concept has been comprehensively upgraded, shifting from traditional disease treatment to proactive health management, and home health care has become a rigid demand. At the same time, multiple departments have issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of 'Artificial Intelligence + Consumption'", clearly promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and home services, accelerating the popularization and implementation of smart home appliances, advancing the construction of digital home systems, and promoting innovative models such as smart whole-home customization, providing solid support for the scenario-based and intelligent upgrading of homes from the policy end.

Against the dual background of deep cultivation in the stock market and accelerated consumption upgrading, China's home industry has officially bid farewell to the traditional model of single-product sales and fully entered a new stage of scenario-based services. Taking the functional sofa track as a typical representative, consumer demand has achieved iterative upgrading, no longer limited to basic sitting and lying functions, but pursuing a comprehensive experience of health support, intelligent convenience, and comfortable livability. Consumption decisions have shifted from short-term consumerism to long-term pragmatism, with greater emphasis on the adaptation and empowerment of products to human living. Industry research data confirms the market upgrading trend: currently, 72% of domestic households still use traditional fixed sofas, and over 30% of users are dissatisfied with their existing product experience, with core pain points concentrated in issues such as lack of ergonomics and easy fatigue from prolonged sitting. Among people planning to replace living room seating in the future, nearly 60% of consumers prioritize functional smart sofas, and strong terminal demand continues to force innovative iteration on the industrial supply end.

The home sofa industry has already completed multi-dimensional advancement and upgrading, iterating from traditional basic seating to ergonomic comfort products, and then upgrading to home smart terminals integrating health pressure relief and intelligent interaction. Single furniture products have gradually evolved into comprehensive living service platforms integrating health management, family interaction, and digital technology. Leading brands represented by CHEERS First Class deeply cultivate the health and comfort home track, relying on core technologies such as full-scenario offline voice, zoned ergonomic support, zero-gravity relaxation, and one-button safe assist rise, precisely matching diverse home scenarios such as prolonged sitting pressure relief for working people, safe daily living for the elderly, immersive home audio-visual experiences, and warm parent-child interactions. With personalized scenario-based design, they make high-quality home lifestyles accessible to all.

The Shanghai International Home Expo states that the integration trend of the four major industries—big health, home, consumption, and digital technology—is becoming increasingly significant. The ability to transform health concepts into perceptible, implementable, highly adaptable, and cost-effective products and services is the core key for enterprises to seize the new round of consumption upgrading dividends and achieve long-term development. As the core scenario for national daily health management, the home industry needs to continuously take technological innovation as the core starting point, focus on users' diverse and refined living needs, and continuously promote product iteration and service upgrading. Currently, a whole-home industrial upgrading covering health, technology, and scenarios is fully unfolding. Numerous home enterprises, with health as the core, technology as the support, and scenarios as the carrier, continuously deliver intelligent, comfortable, and healthy living solutions to families, constantly releasing new potential in home consumption, and helping to improve and upgrade the quality of people's beautiful lives.
