Already very mature home appliances market in recent years does give us a lot of surprises in the new mode of thinking Internet companies, the traditional consumer electronics companies have also started their own transformation. Although large traditional home appliance business transformation due to their own reasons cumbersome and slow, but strong corporate background for them to win the public trust of consumers, many consumers said that he is still willing to believe that the traditional home appliance brand, they are willing to waiting for new products. So, how could 2015 appliance market develop? Healthy, smart enough to summarize two key words.
2014 is a year of full-blown intelligent home appliances, just a few years ago, the "smart" word people are constantly being challenged, appliance manufacturers are quick to use the product for a time with the sincerity of shattered all rumors. We want to see is not universal intelligence can be done overnight, if intelligent home is an aspiration, then a single appliance smart move to keep the results, we are able to find. Household electrical appliance enterprises have made the achievement of intelligent appliances, presumably in 2015 will be more mature technology, consumers do not have to be too impatient to go with a full range of smart home solutions, this is the future trend, but also the direction of our work together .
Health concern
Health is also a concern in recent years by, from a time such as bamboo shoots grow up purifiers Enterprise, you can see more and more emphasis on public health issues. Of course, the pollution has been increasing in the current environment, such a development is the trend. Air purifier market has begun to take shape, great benefits and urgent desire for the public, as the largest power market development. In addition, the water purifier business also received attention, and even some critics say the water purifier market is the Chinese home appliance industry, the last piece of undeveloped out of the battlefield, then was heavy, but really you can see a huge product line that brings hope.
Appliance industry can be divided into white and black, as black market the main force of the television industry in an intelligent way and goes far earlier than white, of course, this is also related to the characteristics of the product line itself.
Make products more user-friendly
Even before 2014, the black market has begun to take shape, intelligent, smart TV products only reflected in the handling and operating systems, in conjunction with the Internet and the organic movement of products, make the product more user-friendly color, this intelligent direction right, but the limited space for development. You can see that in 2014 the big companies have to differentiate the product line, in terms of intelligence did not make much of a change, this does not mean the product has achieved the intelligence, then how to make products more user-friendly, the black business To solve this problem.
Android TV is still a long way to go
Compared to black products, intelligent white harder to achieve. White not like to make big changes like black in the operating system, it must be the real deal to change the functionality of innovative change. Therefore, intelligent road white products, although difficult to walk, but it does go solid. Such as the advent of intelligent sweeping robot R & D investment products after market, immediately attracted attention, which is a typical instance of intelligence. How to join the original product in intelligence elements; whether it can develop a new intelligent white new market will be a major issue in the 2015 white business?.
To identify the intentions
As already mentioned from the business point of view, the popularity of black and white electric intelligence has its own difficulties, so from a consumer point of view, we should choose intelligent products? Although in 2015 the development of intelligent home appliances will still be very fast But if we must choose intelligent products, still needs careful consideration. You're welcome to say, non-mature intelligent technology is likely to increase the difficulty of consumer choice.
Sweeping robot become intelligent white representative
Take the black line, the TV is essential appliances, although the frequency of use has decreased, but still can not shake their living room entertainment dominant position. However, consumers in the purchase must keep their eyes open, not to pay for features that do not need. As for how to pick, the proposed purchase demand.
White pay more attention to the basic functions of choice
White areas even more so, because of the product's functionality is very strong, so be sure to polish our eyes, choose the desired function. Additional functionality is certainly valuable, but the product itself features than up, it becomes less important. In the choice of washing machines, air conditioners and other white products, must be based on their actual needs to choose, the most fundamental is the most critical performance requirements.
To improve market supervision
In recent years, the domestic water quality, there were many security risks, water purifier industry has been full attention. Endless Water Dispensers equipment, and constantly refresh the consumer's eye, however, and all emerging industries, speed the development of the water purification industry, there are also a stain can not be ignored.
Domestic water purifier market has been hailed as the last one and a half empty appliance market, unfortunately, for water purification products, there is no standard set of strict factory inspection, the Ministry of Health on the production side execution is GB5749-2006 "drinking life water health standards ", simply put, is similar with the water standards. Grading day without introduction on the market will not be able to achieve effective regulation, the regulatory side, must be intensified to improve the relevant aspects of the standard.
Water purifier enterprise ready
However, this did not hinder the consumer preference for water purifier market, more and more people in the decoration please consider home water purifier, which is worrying with the current water situation has a close relationship. Whether from a business point of view or from the consumer point of view, the current water purifier market has a very large potential for development. Companies need to develop, consumers need a good product, which became the greatest force water purifier market development.
We can see that in 2015 the water purifier industry will experience a reshuffle, with gradually improve people's health awareness, such as air purifiers, home water purification equipment such as new health, will become the future home appliance market force. Of course, in the early development of the emerging industry really need to go through growing pains, I hope to give consumers enough to understand. Of course, this also requires the relevant state departments and water purifier manufacturer's joint efforts, do not let the health of consumer confidence and hurt.

Intel, Samsung, TSMC into the fray how to react?
Recent industry have heard TSMC appeared to be hand fat (apple A9 processor orders) lost, snatched by Samsung, the reason is not as good as Samsung, TSMC technology. Since Samsung and Intel join fourteen war-nanometer process, TSMC's advanced process to become the number one market rival. As the world's largest foundry TSMC how react yet.
To maintain our competitive edge without falling TSMC, the most important thing, the general manager and co-chief executive of TSMC Liu Wei Zhe home audio and two work together.
TSMC chairman Morris Chang's words, so that the semiconductor industry talking about. January 15, 2015, TSMC held the fourth quarter of 2014 law that would, Chang respond to market speculation of Samsung (Samsung) grabbed most of the apple (Apple) A9 processor orders, he admitted that in 2015 16 nm market share will be smaller than the opponent does.
Indeed, over the past few years such as TSMC can not take - like Apple phone processors big one, because of the emergence of new competitors in the market - Samsung. Vice President of Allianz Global Investment Research Management Office Liaozhe Hong analysis, in the past, only a few foundries worldwide have advanced manufacturing process, now is the Samsung competitor in this pre-empted the emergence of fourteen Nano will carve up the market share of TSMC's advanced process and may even impact the profitability of TSMC.
In addition to Samsung's creeping outside, TSMC will be released in the fourth quarter, said France reported a 2014 operating margin up to 49.5 percent of TSMC, the first quarter 2015 gross margin of 50.5% to the point of view, a new high point, almost Intel's gross margin Tate leading semiconductor part on an equal footing. However, the outside world are speculations appeared after Samsung, TSMC will be how to further break the record gross margin Chang natural barrier?
In this regard, Chang has become God in the old, he pointed out, "2016, (TSMC) will substantially outperform their competitors." This sentence, motivate TSMC shares rose after the law says, the stock continued to soar upward to to a peak of 145 yuan. Let Chang emboldened key to the future lies in his two successors, general manager and co-chief executive of TSMC home and Liu Wei Zhe tone.
TSMC spread seen in the fourth quarter 2014 sales analysis, 20 nm and 28 nm process already contribute up to 51% of revenue, which accounted for 20 nanometer process 21%; 30% the proportion of twenty-eight nanometer. Visible, 20 nm and 28 nm process, called TSMC two veritable cash cow.

Apple launched the Supply Chain war three go solve Samsung
Introduction: "In the long run, millet threat to Apple's even more than the Samsung threat to Apple." Stratechery.com analyst at consulting firm of Ben Thompson said. Apple does best thing to do is not just the best product but a smoke bomb, the war between the closed and open IOS and Android, and Apple's entire android enemy camp, which is the mobile phone manufacturers worldwide. Millet mimic Apple than Apple, Samsung has become the number one enemy is fortunate, in order to battle the stars of the sea must be crossed rivers Apple, and Apple deal with Samsung and Android camp approach may be used in the next step will be their millet body.
According to the Forbes website reported, frankly, Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) does not like Android or Samsung smartphone design team, he has said that Apple will use all resources, with Android and Samsung to fight a "thermonuclear war." Apple under the leadership of Tim Cook (Tim Cook) did not continue to Jobs that naked threat, but on a long-term strategy, not only to curb the Samsung, but also to curb the influence of Android.
Just as the United States through patience, advocacy and technical advantage to win the Cold War, as Cook through strategy, repression and strategies to curb the Android Apple's economic threat.
Strategy: quickly enter the 64 era
When Steve Jobs died, Samsung situation is very good. Galaxy S2 proved itself in the market, Galaxy Tab series of products have been recognized, Galaxy Note tablet has opened up the mobile phone market. Three years later, Samsung smart phone business revenue and profit began to decline, down more than 64%. Meanwhile, Apple's first-quarter results will hit a record high US corporate history. Apple's advantage this year will continue to expand.
Apple and Android Cook suppress a move is that by making the smartphone iPhone 5S into the 64-bit computing era. When Apple announced the iPhone 5S, yet no one Android smartphone manufacturers in the near future plans to release a 64 phone. Many Android mobile phone manufacturers and component suppliers are forced to fight, promised to launch 64 products.
They have no choice but to fight. Android's success depends on more than the opponent faster, better and more powerful commitment. If the iPhone into 64 era, Android must also enter the 64 era.
Android camp rush to fight the influence still exists. Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 is Android march 64 era, "leader", but production problems forced the mobile phone manufacturers to product release postponed to the third quarter of this year, or take the risk of selecting an alternative compatibility issues.
Repression: control and monopolize the best component suppliers
Through prudent financial management, Apple in terms of increased investment components. Several years in advance procurement of components, monopoly power supply, has been used to reduce component costs by Apple, while limiting the competitors using the latest technology.
An Apple-controlled components latest fingerprint sensor. Former Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside (Dennis Woodside) has revealed that the original plan to configure Motorola fingerprint sensor for Nexus 6, but Apple's acquisition of the best fingerprint sensor supplier, Nexus 6 therefore abandoned the fingerprint sensor.
Apple is not the only fingerprint sensor control. Apple has also invested heavily in the acquisition of sapphire glass supplier, effective control of the supply of DRAM memory chips, touch screen, or even book in advance cargo aircraft, forcing competitors using slower land, by sea.
Manufacturers can not compete with Apple to get the best components, because a few years ago when in charge of Apple's Cook Book operate these components. After Cook as CEO, Apple will continue to supply chain management strategy before there will be any suspense it?
Apple has the best components in the leading position in many areas of technology, and more importantly, these advantages and develop the best smartphone capabilities, so that Apple can mass production and sales of mobile phones. All indications are that this week, Apple's last quarter smartphone sales over Samsung, Samsung sold a lot of low-end feature phones and smartphones, but Apple did these product lines. Users really like the iPhone 6 series of mobile phones, Apple make sure to meet the needs of all users.
Strategy: Apple to Samsung technology transfer chain
Samsung Semiconductor With its strength has always been Apple's loyal followers, every step of the advantages of android camp has become a leader. Apple "to Samsung" and will shift the supply chain to China Taiwan and mainland China, especially in the core SOC delivery TSMC, Samsung further suppress profitability, Samsung smartphone market in high-end nightmare began.
Apple's action brought huge butterfly effect, making the smart phone industry chain, China Taiwan and the mainland's rapid improvement, to support the outbreak of Chinese mobile phone today. Samsung's supply chain advantage is so weakened, and its advantages in hardware such as display, processor, many manufacturers have gradually become weaker competition. Left Apple, Samsung, became lackluster in product innovation, seems to have lost direction. Especially in the OPPO, millet rise of these emerging brands in the low-end market, lack of innovation, Samsung is more obvious disadvantage.
Apple successfully develop better products, while reducing Android vendor selection, so the development of the smart phone industry is more suitable for apples rather than Android. Meanwhile, Apple continues to get more profits through high-end market, the use of these funds to prevent the emergence of competitors.
Sony has given up on the high-end smart phone market to compete with Apple, but bet on mid-priced high-profile smartphones, this policy affects the profitability of Xperia smartphones. Samsung's profit in 2014 showed that the high-end smart phone market share in the loss of dependence on low-end products is on the rise.
The large single Apple A9 processor and a large single Apple's watches S1 SOC by Samsung semiconductor foundry likely to curb Taiwan IC industry, temporarily delaying the TSMC 10-nanometer process technology upgrade program to allow sufficient time for apples rolling Google camp, IOS as the main form of three-dimensional things to contend Android ecosystem ecology.
