Aiper, the Chinese world's leading wireless pool robot company, has announced the completion of a new round of strategic financing of nearly CNY 1 billion.
This round of financing was strategically invested by Fluidra, a global pool industry giant. Yunqi Partners joined as a new investor, while existing shareholders such as XVC, Fosun RZ Capital and Borchid Capital continued to increase their holdings.
In the global pool and health equipment field, Fluidra has more than 50 years of industry experience. Its business covers 47 countries, with 36 global factories and over 130 sales branches. Through this financing and strategic cooperation, Aiper will leverage Fluidra's global distribution network, patent technology and industry resources to fully enter the pool professional channels and achieve a transformation from being "leading online" to making a "breakthrough across all channels".
Currently, Aiper ranks among the top three in the global pool robot market share. Its market share on platforms such as Amazon exceeds 35%, and it has been the world's number one in the wireless pool robot category for three consecutive years. From 2020 to 2024, Aiper's revenue has increased nearly 10 times, with a compound annual growth rate of over 70%. In 2024, its global cumulative shipments exceeded 2 million units.
Pool cleaning robots belong to the field of outdoor intelligent cleaning and are currently in a rapidly growing blue ocean market. According to statistics from the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) in the United States, there are approximately 30 million private pools worldwide, and the number is still growing at a rate of 5%-6% annually. Nearly 90% of families in developed European and American countries own private pools. These families are mostly high-net-worth individuals with an urgent need for pool cleaning and a high willingness to pay.
