EqualOcean has been informed that Dreame (Chinese: 追觅) has registered a pool cleaning robot company to launch a high-end intelligent pool cleaning robot for overseas markets, after launching a commercial food delivery robot in June.
Since its establishment in 2017, Dreame has continued to explore different application scenarios of robotics, launching categories such as sweeping robots while constantly exploring the broad field of robotics, and has found bionic quadruped robots, humanoid robots, commercial food delivery robots, and other intelligent service robot products in the past two years. With the launch of the pool cleaning robot, Dreame has further strengthened its efforts in the field of broad robotics, becoming a global technology company with an all-round layout in multiple categories.
A pool cleaning robot is an automatic pool cleaning device that is used to clean sand, dust, impurities, and dirt from the pool water, pool walls, and pool bottom, and can automatically walk inside the pool. According to Maytronics 2023 report data, the global pool stock was 30 million in 2022, the number is 28.5 million in 2021 and 25 million in 2019, the global pool number CAGR is 6%, and the market space is growing steadily. And the coverage rate of pool cleaning robots in pool households has been increasing year by year, and has now reached 21%. Meanwhile, the global pool cleaning robot market size will exceed CNY 7.3 billion in 2022.
At present, the products of pool cleaning robots are still generally wired, and most of the cleaning process is random collision or simple inertial navigation, with high cost and low efficiency, and there is much room for the development of product intelligence.
In the past two years, with the pool cleaning robot industry activity increased, there are constantly new brands entering the market, Chinese manufacturers also continue to enter the game, with more focus on the direction of wireless pool robots, the more well-known Chinese pool cleaning robot manufacturers, including Wangyuan Technology(Chinese: 望圆科技), IN-Link Intelligence(Chinese: 元鼎智能) and so on. Among them, Wangyuan Technology is the partner of Dreame pool robot. According to Maytronics report, as an ODM supplier in the pool cleaning robot market, Wangyuan Technology will reach 18% market share in 2022, ranking third in the world.
Dreame pool cleaning robot research and development engineers said in an interview that the current products in the pool robot market still have more room for improvement in terms of environmental adaptability and intelligent features, and Dreame pool robots will make efforts toward self-developed high-speed digital motors, smart algorithms and sensors to enhance the intelligent features of pool cleaning robots.
"We will continue to explore the broad robotic ecology, dedicated to the application of automated technology in various industries such as family, business, agriculture, healthcare, transportation, etc., to open up new frontiers of robotic services, to do things that can promote productivity by ten times and a hundred times, and gradually develop into a broad robotic ecology, so that robots can more deeply serve the family and society. "Dreame founder and CEO Yu Hao said.
According to reports, Dreame will launch two pool cleaning robot products this year, positioned in the middle and high-end market, has begun formal production, and is expected to be officially online sales on Amazon around September.
