Plate view
White electricity sector: the main support for white electricity restoration comes from: 1) the pressure on the high base caused by the epidemic in 2020 is gradually weakened, 2) the price rise trend of bulk commodities is alleviated, 3) the rise of shipping prices is stopped and stabilized, and 4) the trend of high-end consumption is gradually becoming. However, it is still plagued by long-term factors: 1) macroeconomic downturn; 2) Weakening of real estate pull, etc. In contrast, in the short term, the supporting factors have a direct and effective impact on the operating results of white power enterprises, and the short-term profitability of white power leaders can be repaired.
In the medium and long term, China's white power market has gradually transformed into a stock competitive market dominated by renewal demand. Under this background, we are more optimistic about the deep barriers built by white power leaders in terms of brand, channel, R & D, management and other underlying basic capabilities. We believe that in the continuous innovation category of white power, we can rely on accumulated advantages to achieve the strength of the strong. At the same time, the white power leader with excellent product power, mature supply chain and rich experience in overseas operation has the opportunity to improve the penetration of overseas market, and the overseas market space is broad.
Kitchen electricity sector: the overall demand of kitchen electricity sector is relatively weak, but the performance of sub sectors is differentiated. In terms of traditional kitchen appliances, the overall sales of range hoods / gas stoves in December were - 7.3% / - 19.2% year-on-year respectively, continuing the downward trend since July, mainly due to the impact of high base effect in the same period last year and the drag of short-term real estate regulation; In terms of emerging kitchen appliances, the overall sales volume of integrated stoves in December was + 2.7% year-on-year, and the growth rate was slower than that of the previous month (year-on-year in November: + 41.9%), but looking forward to the whole year, the sales growth rate was 31.8%, and the high outlook remained.
Cleaning appliances: under the industry characteristics of low stock and demand determined by supply, the frequent emergence of new products plays a great role in promoting the penetration of floor sweepers and floor washers. Beijing Roborock Technology Co.Ltd(688169) launched the new self-cleaning floor sweeper U10 and floor washer G10 with mop on August 25, Ecovacs Robotics Co.Ltd(603486) launched the new floor sweeper Dibao X1 with self-cleaning + self dust collection + self drying on September 15, and Yunjing launched the second generation of new floor sweeper J2 with self-cleaning + self water change + self drying on September 25. These new products have significantly improved in product performance and industrial design compared with the past, In line with the current consumption upgrading trend, it is expected to further stimulate terminal sales. At the same time, the rapid volume of floor washing machine has also attracted the rapid follow-up of Midea, lake, Jiuyang, Zhejiang Supor Co.Ltd(002032) and other enterprises. More enterprises will launch relevant products in the first half of 22 years, and the high-level atmosphere and certainty of emerging cleaning electrical appliances such as floor washing machine are strong.
