On June 22nd, Shenzhen Shentie Crowne Plaza Hotel, ChaoDian Intelligence hosted the "4th Smartwatch Trend Summit" and "5th TWS Market Trend Summit", which were successfully concluded. "A total of 15 technical and market experts from 15 companies brought a speech full of dry goods to everyone.

 

In 2022, influenced by the epidemic and the global situation, cell phones and TWS ushered in a cold winter, but with the negative ebb, a new dawn has begun to show, smart watches and VR/AR will be the new windfall in the second half of the year, injecting new vitality into the consumer electronics market.

 

Challenges and opportunities coexist, and crisis and hope coexist. At the three summits this day, TWS had a lively discussion on how to cope with the market decline as well as breakthroughs in technology.

 

Tide Power Intelligence: TWS global market pattern analysis and product access

 

Tide Electric Think Tank believes that the new smart wear era to be built by cell phones + smart glasses + smart watches + TWS, its market size will be enlarged to 15 trillion yuan, Tide Electric Think Tank expects that from the cottage everywhere to the brand stand, after the reshuffle period or a new blue ocean. Sound quality, battery life for the customer to choose the primary factor of the headset, followed by price and ear comfort is also an important reference indicator market overall return to rational.

 

 

Last year 100 million cottage white label TWS inventory, so the entire TWS industry chain is in the "tumor removal period", but the growth performance from the brand is still stable. Over the next two years, as in the case of the smartphone route, the white label will give up the market and the brand will take over strongly.

 

Ziyou Technology: Eoy cloud headset, 24-hour voice assistant

 

Many "non-cell phone" scenarios, "eyes and hands" can not solve, need "mouth and ear" to solve. The popularity of smart speakers has solved a number of "mouth and ear" scenarios, but only at home (need power + quiet environment) we want to break through and push to 24 hours of personal networking. So, there is the "cloud headset" project.

 

 

 

(Power consumption, noise reduction, speed, cost, facing four challenges) The future cloud headset is not only for listening, but also a smart speaker, real-time translation assistant and mobile hotspot. Ziyou Technology believes that the intelligent cloud headset will be the next independent intelligent terminal.

 

 

Transcend Acoustics: Noise reduction will no longer be a problem for TWS

 

There was a time when ANC/ENC noise cancellation was an important criterion for measuring the goodness of a pair of headphones, moreover, it can directly determine the level of headphones. With the maturity of technology and the reduction of cost, noise cancellation will no longer be a criterion for goodness of TWS headphones. It has become the standard for future TWS headphones.

 

 

Wind noise is the main factor that interferes with the sound quality of headphones, the reason is the friction generated by the airflow encountering the material, the way to change the wind noise is to reduce the friction, which requires a breakthrough in the internal headphones to find. Doing ANC well requires: 1. structural acoustics and aerodynamic interaction relationship; 2. hybrid noise reduction processing algorithm; 3. physical surface sealing performance; 4. responsiveness; 5. frequency response.

 

 

General Micro: What kind of microphone is needed for the future of TWS

 

TWS headset pain point for "non-intervention" to achieve the ideal active noise cancellation effect. How to wear comfortable, but also to achieve active noise cancellation, is the current industry needs to solve the problem. To this end, General Microtechnology has developed a shock-absorbing microphone, using self-developed dual differential sensing chip, while having the ability to dust and water resistance.

 

 

 

In the future, anti-vibration, waterproof and dustproof will become the next technical windfall of silicon wheat, General Micro has always been committed to the development of unique technology disruptive silicon wheat - the creator of vibration-damping silicon wheat, is the industry's only chip-level realization of IP68 silicon wheat company, can solve three major market pain points: 1. vibration: cars, headphones, sweepers and smart speakers and other IOT products 2. wind noise: cell phones, headphones, etc. 3. dustproof and waterproof: cell phones , headphones, wearable products.

 

 

 

Ansheng Technology: Spatial sound field active noise reduction, help TWS headphones through rate to 97%

 

 

 

 

 

In the context of the whole industry cooling, we should objectively examine what pain points in the industry chain. ANC TWS industry average throughput rate is 80-90%. ANS will reach 97%. At present, ANC is still the main selling point of TWS, Ansheng Technology's spatial sound field active noise cancellation, which allows people to enjoy noise reduction while also being able to talk freely with each other, opening up new boundaries for headphone functions.

 

 

 

 

Best Hearing: Intelligent Hearing Aid Sound Scene Automatic Classification Strategy

 

Hearing aid and assistive listening are the future of TWS. Best Hearing says that scene classification is an important part of the hearing aid field, and in the intelligent mode with various configuration parameters and with adaptive mode switching, the mode of classification will be richer.

 

 

The challenge for speech processing strategies in different sound scenes is to determine when and how to adjust hearing aid acoustic and electrical processing parameters to optimize intelligibility or sound quality Neural network-based classification methods provide an intelligent and viable solution The next research step is to combine objective classification of sounds with adaptive learning of subjective user preferences.

Goer: TWS headset market status and development trend

 

As a core accessory of mobile terminal, the growth space of TWS headset is still huge and expected to reach 1 billion level. As an accessory of cell phone, TWS is inseparable from the growth of cell phone, but TWS penetration rate has not yet reached the stage of full maturity, so its market will not have big fluctuation yet.

 

 

Consumption and products promote each other to upgrade, the transformation of white label to brand and the growth of Android phone brands are the main factors driving the growth of TWS. In terms of usage, listening to music accounts for the highest percentage at 75%, followed by calls and movies and videos. The breakdown of scenarios is divided into sports and health, business office, sleep and health, commuting, audio and video entertainment, smart interaction, etc. Product trends will show miniaturization, intelligence, personalization and health.

 

 

After the presentation, everyone exchanged business cards with each other for exchange. At this point, the 5th TWS Market Trends Summit was successfully concluded.

 

In the afternoon, the 4th Smartwatch Trend Summit and the AR/VR Technology Creation Trend Summit were held at the same time

 

Compared with the explosive growth of TWS and just-in-time cell phones, the development path of smartwatches is relatively flat, but shows a steady growth trend. The global smartwatch brand shipments in Q1 2022 were 29.44 million units, up 9% year-on-year.

 

 

Compared with other wearable devices, smart watches have greater practicality and better cost performance, and the unique health detection function has made countless middle-aged and elderly people fall in love with them.

 

From this, Tide Electric Intelligence speculates that the future breaking point of smart watches will definitely be in the health care field.

 

With the following three major questions: 1. Will the smart watch "become health" also "lose health"; 2. Let's go into the afternoon session "The 4th Smartwatch Trend Summit".

 

Free Leap: Looking at smart watches from the era of total intelligence

 

Free Leap Yu Lei said that Free Leap is welcoming a bigger trend than the cell phone market inward volume - the era of comprehensive intelligence. And the cell phone is one of the two pivots and super entrances of this era.

 

 

At present, Yu Lei believes that the three major development directions of smart watches are sports, health and new interaction methods. Among them, the direction of sports and health is clear, but new ways of interaction are still on the way, and there is more room for imagination.

 

In 2016, Apple began to study the myoelectric sensor based on the smartwatch. Some analysis believes that the form of Apple's AR glasses is likely to take the smartphone as the total computing unit, responsible for complex positioning, spatial calculation, etc., the AR glasses carry a secondary chip to assist in the calculation, and the watch as the main gesture interaction terminal, the trinity.
