At the event site, the world’s first set of AI panoramic artistic appliances – the Conductor Series was unveiled.

It can provide full-scenario smart services such as refrigerator health management, kitchen appliance smart cooking, exclusive fabric care, and whole-house air conditioning, bringing a more intelligent AI home appliance experience to thousands of households.
During the event, old Casarte users were specially invited to participate in activities such as “The First Sweet Bite of the Branch” fresh lychee tasting, clothing washing and care challenges, air purification experiences, etc., allowing users to experience the charm of the “smart life artist” up close.
2026 is considered by the industry to be the first year of intensive outbreak of AI home appliances.
According to relevant industry reports, the global smart home market is expected to reach US$180.12 billion in 2026, an increase of 22.1% from US$147.52 billion in 2025.
This growth trend is the result of the three factors of technological iteration, consumption upgrading and policy driving.
From the perspective of regional distribution, the global smart home appliance market presents a “one super, many strong” pattern. With its large population base, rapid urbanization process and strong consumption power, the Asia-Pacific region continues to lead the global market and is expected to occupy 54% of the global market share in 2026.
Among them, China is the largest market in the Asia-Pacific region. China Commercial Industry Research Institute predicts that China’s smart home appliance market will reach 833.5 billion yuan in 2026, an increase of 5.0% from 793.8 billion yuan in 2025, and will continue to maintain a steady growth trend.
This year, competition in the smart home appliance industry has upgraded from single product competition to ecological competition.
Leading companies are no longer limited to improving the functionality of a single product, but are building a complete ecosystem of “products + services + content” around the life needs of users in all scenarios.
Pan Hongwei, general manager of Haier Smart Home Guangzhou Branch, said that as of 2025, the Casarte brand value has exceeded 92.8 billion yuan, and the overall market size has exceeded 30 billion yuan. It ranks first in the industry in three core indicators: high-end market share, product average price, and performance compound growth rate.
In the field of AI home appliances, brands that integrate technological innovation, exquisite quality and warm service will be more easily recognized by consumers.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasingly diversified consumer demands, the AI home appliance market is expected to usher in a broader development space in the future, bringing more convenience and comfort to people’s lives.
