Smart home technology is integrating with smart healthcare and elderly care, injecting new vitality into the consumer market.

On December 26, 2025, the 2025 Zhejiang Province “Ten Chains, Hundreds of Events, Ten Thousand Enterprises” Smart Home Industry Chain and Smart Health and Elderly Care Supply and Demand Precision Matching Special Event was grandly held in Hangzhou. This event closely followed the national strategy of actively addressing population aging and expanding domestic demand, with the theme of “Cultivating New Consumption Scenarios and New Business Forms, Empowering the Consumer Market with the Silver Economy to Improve Quality and Expand Scale.” It aimed to open up key pathways for the deep integration of smart homes and the silver economy, injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of the consumer market in Zhejiang and even the whole country. The event was guided and supported by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, jointly organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Digital Home Industry and Application Promotion Association and the Zhejiang Provincial Smart Home Industry Chain Alliance, and undertaken by Wasu’s “Silver Age Screen Media.” Many relevant leaders, experts, enterprise representatives, and media representatives participated in the event. In his speech, Lu Xiafeng, Director of the Consumer Goods and Historical Classics Industry Division of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, emphasized that Zhejiang Province is deeply implementing relevant implementation plans, taking “strengthening the province through brands and improving the quality of consumption” as the main line to promote the upgrading of the consumption structure. At this critical juncture of industrial transformation and consumption upgrading, all parties should work together to unleash the technological and scenario advantages of the smart home industry, focus on the core scenarios of the elderly population, explore new consumption models, and revitalize the consumer market through the silver economy. Zhang Guoyou, Chief Economist of the Peking University Institute for Advanced Studies in Information Technology and Professor of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, delivered a keynote speech, outlining the broad prospects for the deep integration of smart homes and the silver economy from a professional perspective. An appointment ceremony for members of the Provincial Smart Home Expert Advisory Committee was also held on-site, providing guidance and direction for industry development. During the new product launch and debut segment, six age-friendly, lightweight, and innovative smart products tailored for the elderly population made a stunning appearance. Thor Intelligent Technology’s new air purifier, with its highly efficient purification technology, safeguards respiratory safety at home; Hangzhou Hongyan Electric’s smart health and wellness bathroom series enhances the comfort and safety of bathroom spaces for the elderly; Zhiyuan Research Institute’s hip-assisted walking exoskeleton helps seniors regain confidence in walking; Ningbo Xianfeng Electric’s clothes dryer baseboards meet the needs of the cold and damp season; Hangzhou Youlian Times’ 3D cloud array camera captures beautiful moments in senior life; and Hangzhou Yiqi Future’s R1 intelligent physiotherapy robot provides convenient physiotherapy services for the elderly. These new products showcase the innovation capabilities of Zhejiang enterprises and will drive the upgrading of the smart health and wellness industry. Industrial development cannot be separated from the support of specific projects. This event released the 2026 Wasu “Silver Age Screen Media” project and the 2026 “Smart Home Zhejiang Excellent” Silver Age Life Brand Renewal Plan, and also launched the “Smart Home Zhejiang Excellent” certification center. These projects will provide new growth points for Zhejiang’s smart health and wellness industry and improve the industrial ecosystem. The “2026 Zhejiang Provincial Brand and High-Quality Products Exhibition and Sales Event” officially kicked off, simultaneously announcing three supporting initiatives: the “Three Entries and Three Deliveries” campaign, the “Filial Piety and Love for the Elderly Shopping Season”—the 2026 Silver Age New Quality Life Festival, and the “Silver Age Smart Benefits” direct access program, effectively bridging the “last mile” between products and users. In addition, the “Digital Future +” Zhejiang Provincial Digital Home Smart Home Brand Collection Exhibition Area and the Wasu “Silver Age Life” pop-up store opened, and the “Digital Future Home Shared Space” was launched, constructing distinctive consumption scenarios and a business ecosystem to support the physical implementation of the smart health and wellness industry. The successful hosting of this event marks a significant step forward in the deep integration of smart homes and the silver economy. In the future, more innovative products and services will benefit countless senior households, driving the continuous development of the consumer market.
