Reports

China's smart device market, excluding communications and computing devices like smartphones and tablets, but including smart TVs and set-top boxes, grew over 46% YoY to approximately RMB 115 bln in 2015, driven by robust private equity investment in the sector, strong smart hardware ecosystem development initiatives, and increasing consumer awareness and uptake. Among China's smart hardware sub-sectors, the smart home and smart wearable segments continued to attract the lion's share of private equity investment in 2015, comprising roughly 45% and 25% of total investment value, while smart transport, smart health/medical devices, drones, smart robots, and other categories made up the remainder.
