Big-name beauty broke out, still in Tmall.

Double 11 is still the permanent battlefield of beauty brands.

At 8 o’clock on the evening of October 21st, Tmall double 11 officially went on sale in 2024, and the brand goods broke out at the beginning.The turnover of 174 brands exceeded 100 million, the turnover growth rate of over 12,000 brands exceeded 100%, and the growth rate of nearly 6,000 brands exceeded 500%.

Among them, the international brands of beauty and skin care grew strongly. After 4 hours of sale, Tmall Beauty has reached 40 brands. After 10 minutes of sale, international brands such as L ‘Oré al, Lancome, Sherrico, Estee Lauder, helena rubinstein, and Mystery of Sea Blue sold over 100 million yuan.

At the same time, domestic beauty products performed brilliantly, and Polaiya broke through 100 million yuan in five minutes. Shuguang and Lin Qingxuan entered the "100 million yuan club" for the first time.

Compared with last year’s double 11, this year’s beauty battlefield, the number and ranking of international big names have increased.

Take luxury beauty brand CPB as an example. Tmall Beauty No.21 broke through 100 million in 5 minutes, and the sales for 4 hours increased by nearly 70% compared with last year. Xiulike was the first to buy nearly 700 million in the first four hours on the 21st, ranking Top5 in beauty cosmetics as a whole. While increasing continuously, the growth rate still exceeded 10% compared with last year.

Previously, there were many opinions that the e-commerce market has entered the stock competition, and "volume price" has become a compulsory course for brands, and brands with lower commodity prices occupy the market advantage. However, this year, Tmall double 11’s big-name beauty cosmetics have grown rapidly, which contradicts the previous market cognition that "low price is king".

It can be seen that high-buyers still have abundant demand for big-name beauty products. What is important is how to continuously launch products that meet consumers’ expectations. In the current market environment, Tmall has found multiple solutions to help beauty brands "explode".

Double strength of international domestic products:

The second echelon commodity "rises by taking advantage of the situation"

Pre-sale data so far show that in this year’s Tmall double 11, many international brands have become more explosive.

This phenomenon has already begun to appear in the pre-sale. According to the industry media "Future Trace" statistics,In 2024, compared with 2023, the number of seats of international brands in the TOP20 of double 11 Tmall Beauty Pre-sale List rose from 10 to 15.

According to the "First Day Transaction List of Tmall Beauty", on the first day of sale, Polaiya, L ‘Oré al Paris and Lancome were separated from the third place in the championship.

In terms of domestic brands, the domestic black horse Youshiyan broke through 100 million in the first 30 minutes before the first purchase on the evening of the 21st, and broke through 200 million in the first four hours, ranking among the domestic brands Top5. This year, Youshiyan double 11 entered the Top20 of Tmall Beauty for the first time.

It is worth mentioning that this year, the beauty brand has completed the outbreak faster. Polaiya, the top seller of domestic products, still ranked at Top1 on the first day of the first purchase of Tmall Beauty No.21, breaking through 100 million yuan faster than before, breaking through 100 million yuan in 3 minutes, and breaking through 1 billion yuan in the first 4 hours, which is as high as 500 compared with the daily sales explosion coefficient.

Super items and new products have seized the category mind in Tmall, which has made great contributions to the achievements of these brands.

As early as this year before double 11, super items such as Formica Collagen Stick, helena rubinstein Black Bandage Cream, Sherrico AGE Cream and L ‘Oré al Bose-in-Ampere Mask were already familiar to consumers.

On the first day of Tmall double 11’s official sale, among the top 1,000 items in terms of beauty turnover, 395 items were new, an increase of 72% over the same period last year.

Take Polaiya’s trump card ruby cream as an example. This year, Tmall double 11, the first day of this single product transaction exceeded 200 million. The brand that focuses on repairing the track can be fumei and continues to benefit from super single products. The sales of popular explosive collagen rods are ranked in the liquid essence category Top1, and GMV will break through 100 million after a single link of 20 minutes.

The rise of "second-echelon super single product" is one of the key reasons why many beauty brands have completed the advanced outbreak in Tmall double 11 this year.

This concept was put forward by Tmall at the TopTalk Business Strategy Conference in April this year. It means that in addition to a super explosive product, many flagship stores can also play the second, third or even more explosive products by upgrading their product strategies.

As soon as Tmall double 11 went on sale this year, the "second-echelon super single product" of Fumei also followed the super single product and broke out. In March, the GMV of the newly listed focus cream exceeded 10 million in 15 minutes, and the first-day sales exceeded the full cycle of this year’s 618, which drove the business growth of brand-new categories.

Coincidentally, this year, Tmall double 11, a domestic black horse, Youshiyan’s black gravity series of single products and sets of double combinations also detonated the brand’s second echelon product curve, in which the newly upgraded black gravity cream broke through 10 million in the first 10 minutes, and the cream essence set was sold out on the first day.

Behind the beauty explosion:

Activated "high-buying crowd"

Every cause has its consequences. A careful analysis of the reasons for the collective realization of beauty brands in double 11 this year shows that Tmall’s various abilities have effectively contributed to this result.

At the 2024 Tmall double 11 conference, Xiu Xun, general manager of 88VIP business of Taotian Group, revealed that in the past year,Taobao 88VIP continued to maintain double-digit growth. After 00, the number of users increased by 67% year-on-year, and the membership scale exceeded 42 million, making it the largest e-commerce paying member in China.

The growing scale of 88VIP also means that Taobao is continuing to gather leading high-purchasers, and high-purchasers are also keen to place orders with Tmall.

At present, one in every 10 people in first-tier cities is 88VIP. This group of consumers with strong spending power prefer branded goods, which is the biggest power source for the beauty brand to break out. The data shows that in the past year, the scale of 88VIP annual cooperative brands increased by more than 300% year-on-year, and more than half of the business of head brands was contributed by 88VIP.

It is worth mentioning that this year, in double 11, 88VIP coupons have ushered in a new way of playing, and the number of coupons that each person can receive has also increased to four, which is helpful to activate this group of eager high-purchasers.

At the same time, 88VIP has gathered high-buyers, and whenever it is promoted, the brand will blossom in Tmall’s private domain construction. It is reported that in double 11 this year, the number of CPB members increased by more than half year-on-year, and the contribution of members in the first 30 minutes exceeded 100 million. On the first day, the members of Youshiyan’s store contributed nearly 100 million yuan, the highest amount in a single day in brand history.

In addition, Taobao Live is advocating the "quality live broadcast" mode of "professional anchor+quality pallet", which is increasingly compatible with beauty brands.

Jia Luo, vice president of Ali Group and president of Tmall Business Department, said earlier that in the context of current live e-commerce, the characteristics of the head anchor of Amoy are gradually emerging, and the growth is very good.

Jia Luo mentioned that at the present stage of the development of live e-commerce, the anchor who can introduce the goods professionally can truly reach a stable repurchase relationship with consumers and form a stable purchase visit.

It is for this reason that the steady live broadcast of Taobao still gains the support of consumers in double 11.

According to the blue eye information of the vertical media, on October 14th, there were 391 beauty products on the shelves in the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi, involving 144 brands. Among them, 52 are domestic brands, accounting for 36.11%. The number of products with GMV exceeding 10 million in this live broadcast reached 259, an increase of 21.6% compared with last year; At the same time, the number of brands with GMV exceeding 100 million has reached 21, achieving an increase of 16.7%.

Tmall’s live broadcast in stores has been developing steadily since double 11 began to show a growing trend last year. Since double 11 this year, the domestic beauty brand Polaiya, which ranks first in Tmall’s sales, not only has a rich talent matrix in Tmall, but also has a live broadcast of more than 800 million people with multiple echelons; The store broadcast side also made steady efforts, ranking Top1 in a single day.

Long-term layout:

Tmall seeks growth for beauty brands.

All kinds of signs indicate that behind the explosion of beauty brands in double 11 this year, it is inseparable from a complete product matrix and strategy. It is not an overnight success to be able to launch goods that are favored by consumers.

In the face of a highly involuted industry competition environment, in April this year, the key word at the Tmall TopTalk conference was "all-round brand growth", which made suggestions for brand growth. Looking back, we can also see the correctness of Tmall’s brand growth layout at that time. From the perspective of beauty category alone, these new market solutions have brought the brand a comprehensive victory from mind to market.

At that time, Tmall said that the FMCG industry would invest resources in the whole link, provide a more certain traffic mechanism, focus on creating 2 billion new products and exploding 2,000 super new products. In addition, in terms of creating super single products, Tmall FMCG focuses on the hierarchical operation of the main product matrix, focusing on creating 1000 sub-head super single products, transforming the brand product matrix from "one super" to "how strong".

At the Tmall TopTalk conference, Mu Shan, general manager of the fast-moving consumer goods division of Taotian Group, said that brand super items will age and decrease efficiency, so it is necessary to let more potential second-tier super items run out.

In addition, in order to improve the long-term operating efficiency of the brand, Tmall announced at that time that Tmall would soon disappear.Upgrade the "daily sales+big promotion" dual-core operation system, and the new crowd tag 3.0 will be divided from the past in terms of user needs and efficacy to the demand division of vertical scenes with goods superimposed.More insights combine content with product supply and operation means to find new points for the brand.

In double 11 this year, the long-term layout of Tmall is showing results, and the beauty brand has the ability to grow steadily in Tmall.

Unlike the content platform, which is suitable for pushing a single explosive product, Tmall is more tolerant of consumers’ personalized needs, and brands can practice more advanced product strategies in Tmall flagship store: they have the opportunity to launch more abundant new products, explode more super items, and seize the category mind to lay a long-term advantage.

This year’s record of beauty brands in double 11 also proves that there is no conflict between the promotion and the Japanese sales, and the Japanese sales have played a very good role in planting grass, but have promoted the sales during the promotion period.

"Since the beginning of this year, the proportion of Japanese sales business has exceeded 40%, which is unprecedented." Zong Guoning, general manager of L ‘Oré al Paris brand, said at the Golden Makeup Awards. It is reported that in 2023, the daily sales ratio of L ‘Oré al Paris was 28%, and by 2024, this ratio had risen to 44%.

After the launch of Tmall double 11 this year, the turnover of L ‘Oreal in 10 minutes exceeded 100 million yuan.

This year, in double 11, Tmall stated that it would satisfy consumers with "good quality and good price", and merchants were liberated from the price war, and their business enthusiasm was greatly improved. From the outbreak of beauty category, we can see that we can win the favor of consumers without pursuing absolute low prices. In this battle without smoke, beauty brands have not only gained a surge in sales, but also planted a deep brand imprint in consumers’ hearts, and bloomed more vigorously.

What should I do if the valve cover gasket leaks after replacement?

What should I do if the valve cover gasket leaks after replacement?

The reason for oil leakage after replacing the valve cover gasket is that the crankcase forced ventilation valve has been blocked, resulting in the increase of crankcase pressure, pressure relief from the valve cover gasket or other weak places, resulting in oil leakage, aging of the valve cover gasket, resulting in poor sealing; If the crankcase ventilation valve is blocked, or the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall is too large, resulting in excessive blowby and high crankcase pressure, gas will leak out at the weak seal.

The best way to solve the oil leakage of the valve cover gasket is to replace it with a new valve cover gasket, or even replace it with the valve cover seriously. The reasons for oil leakage from the valve cover gasket are as follows:

1. Valve cover gasket is a kind of rubber parts, which may age, harden or even break after being used for a long time. When the valve cover gasket hardens or breaks, it will lead to oil leakage.

2. The valve chamber and crankcase can flow through the PCV crankcase ventilation system, so that the fuel that is not fully burned can re-enter the cylinder for combustion through the system. If the valve of the crankcase ventilation system is blocked, the pressure in the valve chamber will increase, which will make the valve chamber cover pad be oppressed and leak over time.

The effects of oil leakage from the valve cover gasket are as follows:

1. Smell in the engine compartment; The oil leaking from the valve cover gasket drips the oil onto the exhaust pipe, and the oil at high temperature will generate a bad smell.

2, smoking in the engine compartment; The valve cover gasket is seriously leaking oil. When more engine oil drops on the exhaust pipe, it tends to be ignited, and a lot of white smoke will be emitted at this time.

3, the cylinder pressure decreases and the power becomes weak; When the valve cover gasket leaks oil, its air tightness will become worse, and the pressure in the cylinder will be lost, resulting in heat loss and eventually weak power.

4. Produce sludge on the camshaft; The valve cover gasket leaks oil not only outward but also inward. The consequence of leaking oil into the valve chamber is that engine oil is accumulated on the camshaft and turned into sludge, which will form carbon deposits over time.

5. The amount of engine oil decreases rapidly; As the name implies, the oil leakage of valve cover gasket will consume oil, so the oil consumption will be much more than the normal damage.

The system of preventing juvenile delinquency in some countries and regions

America, Germany and Britain: Community Intervention in Juvenile Delinquency

Community intervention rose in developed countries in Europe and America. Take the United States as an example. In the last century,80 In the mid-1990 s, many cities in the United States launched corresponding crime prevention plans. In order to effectively prevent juvenile delinquency in urban communities, the US Congress has also promulgated a series of relevant laws and regulations. This kind of laws and regulations not only involve "increasing the police force in urban communities and establishing24 In addition to the "regulations on the safety protection of juvenile schools" and "regulations on the prevention of juvenile delinquency in communities", the hourly patrol system also covers regulations such as sending excellent teachers to troubled teenagers in the community, holding special education and training courses for mothers of troubled teenagers, controlling the excessive spread of violent information by the media, and restricting the use of guns. Since then, each state has successively promulgated corresponding laws to implement community intervention from the perspective of protecting teenagers and preventing juvenile delinquency. At the same time, many residents actively participate in the community intervention plan, and improve the community environment by establishing neighborhood police joint defense teams, street security teams and other organizations, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing juvenile delinquency.

In Germany, community intervention is mainly handled by some experts in the juvenile service department of the police, judicial department and juvenile court proceedings, including600 A number of youth offices are located in various communities. Various communities provide special assistance measures for teenagers who are in trouble and have behavior problems. With the development of industrialization and urbanization in Germany, the phenomenon of immigration has become more and more prominent, and the problem of juvenile delinquency has become increasingly serious. In this environment, the responsibility of preventing juvenile delinquency is quickly transferred to special institutions and professionals. At the local level, some non-governmental organizations and institutions like youth offices have taken on specific responsibilities.

The community prevention of juvenile delinquency in Britain started earlier and has a relatively complete system model. There are different forms in the existing community juvenile delinquency prevention system, and its content and mode are mainly three aspects: situation, behavior and system. The British Home Office plays an important role in organizing and leading situational preventive measures.1991 In, the executive meeting of crime prevention of the Ministry of the Interior launched the activity of "making the community safer", which included restraining the causes of illegal crimes and reducing criminal opportunities. Behavioral preventive measures include strengthening community environmental management, standardizing the environmental design of buildings, and installing closed-circuit television monitoring systems. In terms of systematic preventive measures, it is mainly the British Safe City Plan and the comprehensive youth management work of Volvo Haimu Barton.

Japan: the system of petty crime punishment

In foreign countries, the petty crime punishment system has been widely used in juvenile delinquency cases. For example, in Japan, according to Japan’s criminal investigation norms, the investigation events with extremely minor criminal facts and which the prosecutor has designated in advance as unnecessary to be transferred may not be transferred. There are three main types of cases in which petty crimes are applied in Japan: first, theft cases in which the amount is very small and the circumstances are minor, and the victim voluntarily returns the property after committing the crime, and the victim refuses to prosecute; Second, gambling cases with minor circumstances; Third, other types of cases specially designated by the attorney general. When the police decide to terminate the investigation, they should severely admonish the suspect, and ask his guardian, employer or other supervisor to pay attention to the necessary matters in future custody, and ask him to make a letter of guarantee. In order to protect the interests of the victims, the police should also order the suspects to compensate the victims, apologize or take other remedial measures.

Taiwan Province: educational prevention and control system

In the past two or three decades, the rapid transformation of Taiwan Province from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial and commercial society has not only sharply increased the number of juvenile crimes, but also spread the types of crimes more widely, from early theft to various types of social crimes.

In view of this trend, while strengthening other prevention and control measures, Taiwan Province highlights the role of education in preventing and controlling juvenile delinquency. The plan for preventing juvenile delinquency in Taiwan Province clearly stipulates that parents must receive parental education and guidance, strengthen family education for underage children, advocate underage children and young people to live and live with their parents and grandparents, and promote traditional filial piety education; In the aspect of school education, the traditional Confucian moral education is emphasized, and at the same time, the "campus anti-triad" campaign is carried out to eliminate the underworld forces infiltrating into the campus.

At the same time, make overall use of social resources such as families and schools to formulate and implement a "six-year counseling plan", including the problem family counseling plan, the rough jade project and the sunrise plan. The problem family counseling program mainly starts from family conflicts and family problems to help solve problems and contradictions and improve the physical and mental health of teenagers; The Jade Project mainly aims at the phenomenon of students dropping out of school, and cultivates their positive and pioneering spirit by guiding teenagers to establish a correct outlook on life. Chaoyang plan mainly strengthens students’ self-confidence and ability in life through the protection and control of students with deviant behaviors. (Our reporter Liang Guodong finishing)

To visit the ancient canal, please come to Wuxi!

  The Grand Canal between Beijing and Hangzhou is 1794 kilometers long. It has a history of more than 2,500 years since Fu Cha, the king of Wu, cut qi and dug a ditch. It has formed two artificial wonders facing the Great Wall on the territory of China.

  ▲ Aerial photo of Wuxi section of the Grand Canal

  Wuxi Ancient Canal is a section of the Sui and Tang Grand Canal and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty. It connects the Yangtze River in the north, reaches Taihu Lake in the south, and runs through the urban area of Wuxi. The circular channel outlines the historical spatial pattern of Wuxi’s "turtle back city", forming the wonder of "the water alley in the south of the Yangtze River and the canal out of print", and also gestating the miracle of Wuxi’s national industry and commerce development.

  "Jiangnan water alley, canal out of print"

  The Wuxi section of the Grand Canal, with a total length of 40.6 kilometers, was formed in the Spring and Autumn Period, developed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the earliest written record of the Jiangnan Canal.

  China has a long history of using natural water sources to build artificial canals for farmland irrigation and material transportation. According to records, in the late Shang Dynasty in the 12th century BC, Taibo, the eldest son of Zhou Taiwang, the leader of the Zhou tribe, went to Wu (now in Meicun, Wuxi) and brought the advanced culture of the north to Wu in the south of the Yangtze River to teach the people to farm. In order to develop agricultural production, Taibo built water conservancy projects and dug the Bodu River, which connects Taihu Lake in the west, and flows through Fangqian, Meicun and Dangkou until Caohu Lake. Bodu River, Wuxi people call it "Bodu Port", and it is also called Baidu Port. This is regarded as the first artificial canal dug artificially in the ancient history of China, and it has also become the origin of the "first pry" of the China Canal.

▲ Boundary Monument of China Grand Canal Heritage Area in Qingming Bridge Historical and Cultural Block

  Wuxi section of the Grand Canal is the most complete section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and it is also the essence of the Grand Canal in China. The Wuxi section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in history passes through the city, and the middle section of the back city is filled, but the south gate section has been preserved for 1400 years, while the Bodu Port has a history of more than 3000 years, and two ancient rivers meet at Qingming Bridge.

  It can be said that the south gate section of the Grand Canal in Wuxi is the essence of the ancient canal, especially the 6-kilometer-long section from Wuqiao via Xishuidun and Nanmen to Qingming Bridge. Although it was destroyed during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the Japanese invasion of China, the houses on both sides of the river were built against the river, and the material carriers such as ancient rivers, ancient bridges, ancient temples, ancient pagodas, ancient temples, ancient monuments, ancient streets, ancient kilns, ancient houses and ancient post houses were well preserved.

  Wu Liangyong, a professor in Tsinghua University, once said that the section of Shuinongtang in the south gate of Wuxi has become "a unique cultural and architectural heritage in China". The ten words "water alley in the south of the Yangtze River, the canal is out of print" are also the highest praise for the Wuxi section of the Grand Canal.

  "Tianguan" and "Earth Axis" Canal "Three Piers"

  June 22, 2014 is an important historical moment for the Grand Canal in China. On the same day, at the 38th World Heritage Conference of UNESCO held in Doha, Qatar, China, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan jointly applied for the "Silk Road", and the Grand Canal applied for by China alone was included in the World Heritage List.

  The Grand Canal in Wuxi City is 112 kilometers long and the historical and cultural block of Qingming Bridge is 1.6 kilometers long, which is listed in the World Heritage List.

  There are famous "three piers" on the Wuxi Canal, namely Huangbu Pier, Jiangjianzhu Pier and Xishui Pier.

  Huangbudun, also known as "Tianguan", has been boarded by four prime ministers and three emperors since ancient times.

  Jiangjianzhu is an island dozens of times larger than Huangbudun — — Jiangjianzhu. There is an old saying in Wuxi that "on the tip of the river, it turns around in circles". When the wind and waves are heavy, the boat turns around on the waves.

  Xishui Pier, known as the "earth axis" of the Wuxi section of the canal, is the place where Liangxi River meets the ancient canal. Every year on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, a grand temple fair is held here.

  ▲ Huangpudun in Wuxi section of the Canal.

  Wuxi is one of the four famous rice markets in China, and the vicinity of the "Sandun" Canal was once the most prosperous area of Wuxi rice market. There are many rice shops, large and small, up to more than 150 at most, with boats and boats coming and going, businessmen gathering, pedestrians bustling and bustling. Today’s "Sandun" is no longer the grand scene of the rice market in the past, but it is a historical relic that cannot be missed in the boating canal.

  "If you want to visit the ancient canal, please come to Wuxi"

  As the Living Canal Museum in China, Wuxi Canal has been well-known since the 1980s.

  The municipal foreign affairs tourism department once entered the international tourism market with the slogan "If you want to visit the ancient canal, please come to Wuxi". For a time, tourists from China flocked to see the oars and lights of the "Jiangnan Water Lane" of the Grand Canal in Wuxi, and international friends praised the trip to the ancient canal in Wuxi as "magical tourism". The famous Japanese composer, singer Nakayama Daisaburo, and Nobukuro’s masterpiece "Qingming Bridge" was born in this period.

Let’s face the future together | Persist in challenging for breakthrough for love.

CCTV News:"Father of the Olympics" Coubertin once said: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to participate. Just like the most important thing in life is not to triumph, but to fight hard. " On the stage of Beijing Winter Olympics, moments of surpassing oneself and struggling are everywhere.

Fighting and surpassing. In the final of freestyle skiing aerial skill mixed team, three veterans of China, Xu Mengtao, Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu, joined hands to win the silver medal for China. This is a proud achievement, but veterans have higher requirements for themselves. Because of a mistake in the last jump, Jia Zongyang, who slipped to the sidelines, hid his face with his hands and burst into tears. Little-known is that Jia Zongyang’s jump was a jump with steel nails. Due to serious injuries, two steel plates and 22 steel nails were implanted in his legs, and one of them can’t be taken out yet. In the face of injuries, Jia Zongyang overcame unimaginable pains and hardships. From the sixth place to the bronze medal and then to the silver medal in the four Winter Olympics, he achieved self-transcendence again and again. Even if he didn’t win the gold medal, the excellent athlete was a real warrior.

Breaking through oneself is a victory in itself. In the first round of the women’s slalom competition of alpine skiing in Beijing Winter Olympics, CoCo Lee Yi, from Taipei, China, fell down and missed the flag gate shortly after her departure. Faced with such mistakes, many players have chosen to give up directly. But CoCo Lee didn’t give up. She got up slowly, and climbed slowly step by step towards the flag gate she had just missed on the snowy slope that was difficult to walk. The girl who climbed up won the applause and applause from the audience in this competition to see who would slide down quickly. In the end, CoCo Lee successfully finished the competition, and she became the first woman in Taiwan Province to finish the skiing competition in the Winter Olympics.

In the men’s singles figure skating competition of Beijing Winter Olympics, Japanese player Yuzuru Hanyu made an impact on "Axel jumping around" as promised. This is the first time in the history of flower skating in the Winter Olympics that human beings have tried to complete this difficult movement. In fact, Yuzuru Hanyu could have chosen to make an action combination with a higher success rate if he just wanted to win a medal, but he still chose to challenge himself and seek a breakthrough. Although it didn’t work out, in many people’s minds, it was already a performance beyond winning or losing.

Hannah halverson is an athlete from the United States. In the women’s individual short-distance (freestyle) qualification competition of cross-country skiing, she ranked 43rd and missed the promotion. However, she is still proud of herself, because she has made a breakthrough in the Winter Olympics. Two years ago, halverson suffered a serious traffic accident. Her skull was fractured, her tibia was fractured, and the medial collateral ligament and the posterior collateral ligament of her left knee were completely torn. She didn’t even know whether she could walk normally in this life. However, just two years later, she appeared in the Beijing Winter Olympics. From re-learning to walk, re-learning to run, and then a little bit of recovery training, halverson has made continuous breakthroughs. I believe that in the next step, she will continue to break through her own competition results.

In the second half of 2024, the focus of generative AI seems to be shifting to the hardware field.

First, ByteDance has accelerated its layout in the field of AI intelligent hardware. A few days ago, ByteDance released Ola Friend, the first AI intelligent headset, which was connected to its bean bag model and combined with bean bag APP. As a result, this AI intelligent hardware has become an exploration and attempt of ByteDance in AI scenes, which provides more direct help for users in various scenes in their lives through the bean bag model.

Second, Song Ziwei, who quickly entered the public eye by virtue of her reputation as a product manager, recently issued a document confirming her resignation from LI. The reason she gave was that she "has been paying attention to the AI ​ ​ intelligent hardware track and hopes to explore this imaginative new field."

Technology giants and people in the industry have made great efforts in AI intelligent hardware, because the latter has great development potential. According to the Global AI Wearable Market Report, it is estimated that the market size of AI wearable devices will increase from $41.9 billion in 2024 to $120.7 billion in 2028, with a CAGR of 30.3%–this is just a huge growth space for AI wearable devices. It can be said that AI intelligent hardware is promising.

Massive new products become pioneers, and AI intelligent hardware has great potential.

AI is undoubtedly a powerful tool with great influence in today’s era. With its amazing computing power, efficient data processing speed and evolving learning ability, it profoundly affects the development process of various fields. At the same time, AI is also an undisputed hot trend.

Under the brand-new development situation, how to better apply AI has become the core theme of this turbulent era. We have seen that there are many powerful technology giants who actively try to combine AI with their core business by virtue of their huge resource advantages and profound technical details.

In this way, the technology giants have completely transformed their traditional products, making them glow with new vitality and competitiveness. At the same time, technology giants are also carefully planning forward-looking technology layout, and constantly expanding the use scenarios of AI by launching new AI products-from intelligent transportation to smart medical care, from smart home to smart manufacturing, etc., and the application scope of AI is increasingly extensive.

It is worth noting that there are many dynamic start-ups that are also trying to explore the infinite possibilities of AI. They either introduce innovative solutions by integrating AI technology into product research and development; Or lead the downstream hardware to blossom more, showing a subversive heavyweight product. These products not only achieved a major breakthrough in function, but also brought unprecedented changes in user experience.

Among them, AI intelligent hardware, as a new competitive focus, is rapidly playing a world. With the joint efforts of technology giants and start-ups, we have seen new products related to AI intelligent hardware emerge one after another. Take Ola Friend, an AI intelligent headset released by ByteDance, for example, it is catching up with and even reshaping the new wave of AI intelligent hardware.

While predicting the market performance, Global AI Wearable Market Report also highlights that the main trend is expected to focus on AI-driven wearable assistants in addition to the progress of flexible display technology and sensor technology. Obviously, the selling point of Ola Friend, an AI intelligent headset, is that the voice assistant based on the bean bag model can provide online travel consultation, English sparring, music DJ and other functions.

In addition, from the current situation, all kinds of intelligent hardware empowered by AI have become the outlet for major technology giants to compete for layout. For example, Baidu’s Xiaodi recently launched a new generation of learning machine product Z30, which is the world’s first learning machine based on Wenxin’s large model ability. At this year’s iFLYTEK headset new product launch conference, Iflytek launched three AI headsets, adding AI to office.

In terms of start-ups, the new products of AI intelligent hardware seem to be more "bold" and creative. For example, polar shell technology, established at the end of 2021, takes overseas outdoor practitioners as the entry point to develop consumer-grade wearable exoskeletons. Just at the beginning of this year, for hard-core outdoor people, Polar Shell Technology released Hypershell X, an exoskeleton product for outdoor scenes. It is reported that after integrating the polar shell self-developed AI system, Hypershell X can support users to switch without buttons in nine different scenes, such as walking, running, mountaineering and even cycling.

As for PLAUD NOTE, it is the world’s first artificial intelligence recorder supported by ChatGPT, and it is also the world’s first recording device with integrated dual pickup engines. In addition, it also provides voice-to-text transcription and ChatGPT support functions, including automatic summary, meeting minutes, to-do list and mind map, thus greatly improving efficiency.

It can be seen that new products related to AI intelligent hardware are appearing in various appearances-some are eye-catching with fashionable and cool design, some are shocking the industry with powerful functional configuration, and some are eye-catching through unique user experience. This also makes AI intelligent hardware expected to become a new growth point with great potential.

The fresh air port has arrived, and AI intelligent hardware is speeding up.

AI intelligent hardware plays an important role with its unique charm and great potential, and is rapidly becoming a powerful driving force for the sustainable development of technology giants and start-ups.

For example, for technology giants, the development of AI intelligent hardware will provide them with new strategic opportunities. The battle for AI intelligent hardware has started, and technology giants are stepping up their layout. When AI technology is combined with traditional products, it is bursting with great vitality and surging vitality, which makes the use of AI to transform and upgrade the development model become one of the future survival ways of technology giants.

Technology giants can take the lead in the field of AI intelligent hardware by virtue of their strong technical strength, huge user base and rich market resources. By constantly introducing innovative products and solutions, they can further consolidate their market position, expand their business scope and achieve sustainable development.

For start-ups, AI intelligent hardware is a promising field. "AI+" has become a catalyst for emerging industries, and it is more possible for start-ups to create emerging products. Start-ups can give full play to their flexibility and innovative spirit and look for opportunities in the market segment of AI intelligent hardware. They can focus on a specific field or user group and create products with differentiated competitive advantages. Through continuous innovation and breakthrough, start-ups are expected to rise rapidly in the field of AI intelligent hardware, and become an important force to promote the development of the industry with innovation and creativity.

At the same time, the wave of AI generalization is sweeping, which is also encouraging more start-ups to join the wave of AI intelligent hardware. ChatGPT’s breakthrough in generative AI technology, which focuses on large models, lowers the threshold for start-ups to use large model intelligent computing power, and can fully release the potential of AI to develop new products. It is expected that more AI intelligent hardware will appear, making "everything possible". With the generalization of development access, it is expected to create more subversive AI intelligent hardware in the future, completely innovate the way of human life and work, and change the competitive ecology of the industry.

Of course, we must also see that the development of AI intelligent hardware needs a gradual process, a process that is generally accepted by the majority of users. For example, as of 16:00 p.m. on October 12th, Ola Friend, the flagship store in Tik Tok, sold only 800 pieces. Obviously, this AI smart headset is still a long way from the explosion, and it has not even attracted widespread attention on social platforms.

But there is no doubt that AI intelligent hardware is making every effort to create its own brand-new outlet with an unstoppable attitude. Especially at the moment, AI intelligent hardware has gradually moved from concept to reality, from laboratory to market, and the early adopters of a few people are about to become an indispensable part of public life.

Many AI intelligent hardware not only has the functions of traditional hardware, but also integrates advanced AI technology, which can realize intelligent interaction, independent learning and decision-making, bringing unprecedented convenience and efficiency to users. As a result, there are infinite possibilities for AI intelligent hardware, which is shaping the next trillion outlets.
