Shen Guofang Precision Strategic Investment in Compart Systems: The Path of a Parts Supplier's Breakthrough
In recent years, with the domestic semiconductor industry actively advancing industrial upgrading, the materials, equipment, and components sectors of the broader semiconductor industry have garnered widespread attention, becoming a focal point for breakthroughs. Semiconductor gas delivery system components, as a niche segment within the entire semiconductor manufacturing process, play a critical role in precisely controlling the flow, pressure, and purity of reactive gases in semiconductor equipment, earning them the title of the "vascular system" of chip manufacturing. In key wafer fabrication processes such as etching and thin-film deposition, the performance of the gas delivery system directly impacts chip yield. Consequently, this critical field exhibits three major characteristics: Illustration: Characteristics of Semiconductor Gas Transmission System Components Industry Source: Organized by CINNO Research1. High technological barriers: Components of semiconductor gas delivery systems must meet stringent requirements such as nanometer-level machining precision, ultra-high cleanliness, and resistance to strong corrosion, thus involving interdisciplinary technological expertise in materials science, precision machinery, and more.2. Strong Customer Stickiness: Since semiconductor equipment directly determines chip yield rates, customers are extremely cautious when selecting equipment manufacturers, with certification cycles potentially lasting 2-3 years. Once integrated into the supply chain, the need for process stability typically fosters long-term, stable partnerships. Customers tend to focus more on how gas delivery system components enhance overall yield rates rather than reducing short-term procurement costs.3. Highly Monopolistic Landscape: Due to the aforementioned characteristics, the industry is currently dominated by established giants such as the U.S.-based UCT and Japan’s Fujikin, with significant first-mover advantages, as the global CR5 reaches 75%. At present, the localization rate of China's gas delivery systems is only 10%, with core components almost entirely dependent on imports.According to statistics from CINNO Research, the total investment in China's (including Taiwan) semiconductor industry in 2024 is 683.1 billion yuan, a decrease of 41.6% compared to the same period last year. Despite this, data from细分领域的数据显示,半导体设备投资逆势增长1.0%, reaching 40.23 billion yuan, making it the only category to achieve positive growth. Illustration: Trend of semiconductor equipment investment amount in China (including Taiwan) from 2021 to 2024 Source: CINNO ResearchCurrently, the market size of semiconductor equipment components in China is approximately $17.5 billion. Specifically, in the gas transmission sector, the market size for gas cabinets and gas lines in China in 2024 is expected to be around $2.2 billion, but the high-end market is largely dominated by foreign companies.Shenyang Fund Management: Strategic Investment in Compart Systems: An Important Piece of the Full Industry Chain PuzzleFounded in 2008, FuChuang Precision is China's highest-purity, largest-scale, and most comprehensive semiconductor component supplier, as well as one of the few global providers capable of delivering precision components for 7nm process semiconductor equipment. The company's core business involves supplying precision components for semiconductor equipment, pan-semiconductor equipment, and devices in other industrial sectors.Fuchuang Precision's main products include process components, structural components, module products, and gas pipelines. As of the 2024 semi-annual report, the revenue share of process components is 23%, structural components 27%, module products 40%, and gas products 10%. In terms of revenue by region, the revenue share from mainland China has been continuously increasing, rising from 14% in 2018, 54% in 2022, to 75% in the first half of 2024.After its上市 in 2022, Fuchuang Precision achieved rapid growth in operating revenue, with revenue exceeding 3 billion yuan in 2024, a 47% increase from 2023 and a 97% increase from 2022. Fuchuang Precision is actively accelerating the expansion and research and development of advanced process products while also actively laying out its production capacity. Domestically, it has established two production bases in Shenyang and Nantong, with a forward-looking plan for a production base in Beijing. Once all three production bases reach full production, the capacity will reach 6 billion yuan. Internationally, to further expand the company's international business scale, deepen the company's ties with international clients, and enhance global supply chain procurement capabilities, the Singapore factory is being constructed in an orderly manner according to plan.The struggle and development journey of FuChuang Precision mirrors that of domestic pan-semiconductor supply chain enterprises. However, despite catching up rapidly and achieving fast growth, the lack of modular capabilities in gas delivery systems remains a strategic pain point for FuChuang Precision. Currently, in advanced processes below 14nm, high-purity gas control technology is constrained by overseas suppliers, severely limiting the supply chain security of equipment manufacturers.Compart Systems is one of the leading suppliers in the field of gas delivery systems, and it is also one of the few companies globally capable of completing all stages of precision processing for components in this field. Its main products include surface mount components (gas flow blocks), BTP (Built To Print) assemblies, assemblies, seals, gas quill assemblies, welded components, etc., which are used in precise gas delivery systems required by equipment for oxidation/diffusion, etching, and deposition processes in integrated circuit manufacturing. At the same time, the company is one of the few globally capable of providing assembly services for mass flow controllers (MFCs). Compart Systems also offers products including high-precision metal machining parts to customers in industries such as industrial and oil and gas sectors. In terms of global industry position, Compart Systems' surface-mounted components (gas flow manifold) hold a leading position in the gas transmission system segment and possess the patented next-generation product iBlock. Compart Systems has rich experience and product layout in the field of gas delivery systems, with comprehensive technical capabilities in RD design, flow control, secondary processing, and assembly testing. Through the acquisition of Zhejiang Prism (the controlling shareholder of Compart Systems) via a special purpose company, FuChuang Precision has achieved an indirect significant shareholder position in Compart Systems as a strategic investor, gaining key capability synergies and reserving operational space for further integration of its industrial chain. FuChuang Precision will vigorously promote the integration of both parties' advantageous resources. In the short to medium term, this strategic investment will help FuChuang Precision secure a dominant position in the gas transmission supply chain, enhancing its global supply chain status. Meanwhile, FuChuang Precision's already robust domestic customer channels can effectively assist Compart Systems in capturing market share, creating a win-win situation. Post-strategic investment, FuChuang Precision will establish a five-location collaborative system spanning Shenyang, Nantong, Beijing, Singapore, and Malaysia, improving global customer coverage and response speed while reducing its own supply chain risks. Domestic semiconductor supply chain enterprises are transitioning towards platformization through mergers and acquisitions.Semiconductor components represent a high-threshold, strong-stronger track. Domestic related enterprises started late and have a shallow foundation, often achieving breakthroughs in certain single fields, while the layout of the entire industrial chain and the richness of product lines are still significantly behind that of established international first-tier suppliers. Although the vast domestic demand can effectively promote companies to accelerate investment for rapid development, in practical operations, they inevitably encounter various obstacles such as the first-mover advantages of American and Japanese companies, patent positioning, long customer onboarding cycles, and the difficulty for new entrants to break through and miss the window period.As a result, in recent years, Chinese semiconductor companies have completed several strategically significant cross-border acquisitions under the influence of globalization layout, the catalysis of the domestic market, and the drive of technological upgrades. For instance, in 2019, Wingtech completed the acquisition of Nexperia (formerly known as NXP's Standard Products Business), thereby rapidly establishing its own IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturing) model. Leveraging Nexperia’s global Tier 1 customer base and production capacity, by 2022, Wingtech achieved over 10 billion chip shipments for automotive applications, realizing rapid business expansion. Similarly, in 2019, Will Semiconductor also completed the acquisition of OmniVision Technologies in the U.S., thereby obtaining core technologies and capacities for smartphone and automotive CIS (CMOS Image Sensor). This helped ensure the stability of its supply chain when related customers encountered U.S. export restrictions.This strategic investment by Fusion Precision in Compart Systems also carries a similar meaning of “using capital to save time and expanding production capacity to gain space.” On one hand, successfully integrating advanced industry resources can effectively shorten the RD cycle for similar products by about five years for Fusion Precision, enabling its products to quickly align with the latest equipment requirements of its customers. On the other hand, through the existing supply relationships between Compart Systems and international clients, Fusion Precision’s products can significantly reduce the certification period, thereby capturing market share during the favorable window of advanced process capacity landing and large-scale equipment production. Furthermore, after this strategic investment, Fusion Precision’s phased layout in China and Southeast Asia will help the company expand its domestic and international markets. Moreover, for the future development of Fusion Precision, this strategic investment may hold even greater significance.Fuchuang Precision is a典型的“时代企业” (typical "era enterprise"): The reason for its current achievements and becoming a leading enterprise in the semiconductor components industry cannot be ignored. In the early stages of the company's growth, Fuchuang Precision almost occupied all the first-mover advantages and favorable terrain. Amid the global restructuring of the semiconductor industry chain and the eastward shift of the international economic center, Fuchuang not only seized the opportunity of the rise of the East Asian semiconductor industry but also grasped the demand for the逆势崛起 (resilient rise) of the Chinese semiconductor industry. Fuchuang Precision's chairman, Zheng Guangwen, summarizes the future path of Fuchuang as "new four modernizations," namely "internationalization, intelligence, lean management, and greenness." The strategic investment in Compart Systems is a key initiative to achieve these four major goals, and in the future, the company will continue to adhere to the development approach of balancing independent development and resource integration.Through this strategic investment, FuChuang Precision will be able to complete the final piece of the gas delivery system puzzle, forming a comprehensive product matrix of "metal process structural components + modules + gas systems," which can cover approximately 85% of equipment costs. In terms of business development, the company is advancing from OEM to product-driven growth, with its products evolving toward platformization, effectively increasing average customer spending. At the same time, leveraging this opportunity, FuChuang Precision will initiate global capacity expansion measures, prioritizing Southeast Asia for overseas production. In the future, the company will also pursue more mergers and acquisitions to strengthen technological capabilities, synergize with domestic factories to form a capacity matrix, and achieve a balanced global presence, capacity export, and revenue growth. In addition, Fuchuang is also planning more strategic initiatives, such as model innovation and management innovation: by integrating the technology and processes of Compart Systems and Fuchuang, it will achieve a 1+12 effect, helping Fuchuang to conquer more advanced process supporting technologies and incubate next-generation materials and process technologies. The company's resources and policies will be tilted towards creativity, and it will more firmly execute the intelligent manufacturing strategy and the construction of platformization and standardization.Strategic Insights under the Wave of Domestic SubstitutionFuchuang Precision's strategic investment in Compart Systems coincides with three major turning points facing China's semiconductor industry.Chart: China's semiconductor industry is facing three major turning points Source: CINNO Research整理1. Policy Window: The second phase of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (also known as the "Big Fund") with a scale of 150 billion yuan focuses on investing in the equipment and components sector, particularly highlighting the gas transmission system as one of the ten key areas under the "Industrial Strengthening Project." This integration directly aligns with the goal of "breaking through critical components for high-purity processes" as outlined in "Made in China 2025."2. Demand Surge: Domestic projects such as the second phase of Yangtze Memory and SMIC Shenzhen, totaling 12 new wafer fabs, involve a total investment exceeding 300 billion yuan, with the import substitution ratio requirement increasing from 10% to 40%. Investments in wafer fabs drive demand for semiconductor equipment, and the continuous growth in semiconductor equipment sales boosts the scale of component production.3. Technical Inflection Point: As the number of NAND stacking layers surpasses 200, major global flash memory manufacturers are now developing 400+ layer technology. The 3D structure demands over ten times more precision in gas control compared to the past, and the technological upgrade imposes higher requirements for equipment and component iteration as well as manufacturing processes.Through this strategic investment, Fuchuang Precision not only gained access to the advanced process supply chain, helping it to build a complete profit chain of "materials-components-systems-services," but also validated its platform-based approach of "horizontal technology integration + vertical industry chain extension." By 2027, the synergy between the two parties is expected to significantly boost Fuchuang Precision's market share in the gas transmission sector, potentially making it the first Chinese company to enter the global top 10 semiconductor component manufacturers. This strategy of leveraging capital to drive industrial resources and expand production capacity to redefine market boundaries is precisely the way for Chinese manufacturing enterprises to break through the "middle technology trap." With this investment, Fuchuang Precision has provided its answer to industrial upgrading: not only must it possess core technologies, but it must also excel in resource integration.

How to view ZhuiMi's entry into the kitchen appliance market?
When we look at the development trends of the kitchen and bathroom industry from the perspective of the 2025 China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo (AWE2025), it is easy to overlook the pursuit of technology in Hall E1, simply because Hall E1 is too far from Hall N1.When many kitchen and bath enterprises attending the exhibition ask what highlights AWE2025 has, we always recommend them to check out ZhiMi in Hall E1. This is not only because ZhiMi has crossed over from the cleaning appliance sector to the full category of home appliances, launching kitchen products including range hoods, cookers, dishwashers, and microwave ovens, as well as high-end smart kitchen suites; more importantly, based on ZhiMi's successful experience in the cleaning appliance field, it could potentially become a "catalyst."Of course, as the saying goes, "Different industries are as different as mountains." When people asked Trend Home Appliances about their opinion on Dreame entering the kitchen appliance market, we also posed this question to other cleaning appliance brands.Unfortunately, we did not receive any valuable replies. Therefore, from an industry perspective, how does the Tidal Home Appliances website view Dreame's entry into the kitchen appliance sector? Is it possible for Dreame to become the "catfish" in the kitchen appliance industry?Can technological advantages in the cleaning appliance sector lead to a breakthrough in the kitchen appliance category?Before answering the above question, let's first get to know Dreame.This is a technology enterprise established in 2017, known for its technological innovation. The founder graduated from Tsinghua University, and the core business focuses on the field of cleaning appliances. The company has its own core technological advantages in high-speed digital motors, AI visual interaction, intelligent algorithms, and motion control.From a performance perspective, data from Oviyun Network shows that Dreame's robotic vacuum cleaner ranked first in online sales for a price above 5000 yuan in the years 2023-2024. In terms of overseas business, IDC's latest report indicates that in 2024, Chinese companies occupy four of the top five spots in the global market share, which totals 60.9% of sales volume, with Dreame ranking fifth with a market share of 8.0%.In other words, Dreame has risen from a startup to a leader in its field in just 8 years. Such a company entering the kitchen appliance industry is not to be underestimated.From the products showcased at AWE2025, DreamKitchen Appliances focuses on the integration of kitchen appliances and home living, balancing performance and space efficiency, and harmonizing technology with aesthetics. Additionally, addressing consumer pain points, they solve problems through the application of new technologies and materials.A more easily understandable way to say this is that the overall approach focuses on design, the use of new materials, and the overall coordination of home furnishings, while individual products emphasize "performance and pain points."Taking the range hood as an example, Dreame combines the vortex suppression technology of aircraft with the skin texture of deep-sea whales, integrating nanoscale ripple biomimicry with intelligent algorithms to resolve the conflict between noise and performance in range hoods. According to official data, the Z8000pro range hood equipped with these technologies operates at a noise level of 53db with a airflow rate of 30m³/min and a wind pressure of 1200Pa.This is why潮流家电网 recommends that people visiting the exhibition stop by the Dreame booth. In terms of products, Dreame understands kitchen appliances and has a general grasp of the industry's logic, with their products having some看点 and 卖点, but they are not particularly outstanding (they are quite conventional). For example, the fully embedded升降油烟机 they exhibited was already introduced by FOTILE in 2023 and was also a key product showcased by Casarte at AWE2024. Similar examples include 超薄油烟机, 洗碗机, and 微蒸烤 appliances. It seems there are some Chinese words mixed in the text which are not translated. Here is the proper translation for the provided text:This is why潮流家电网 recommends that people visiting the exhibition stop by the Dreame booth. From a product perspective, Dreame understands kitchen appliances and has a basic understanding of the industry's logic,推出的产品有一点的看点 and 卖点, but it is not particularly prominent (it is rather conventional). For instance, the fully embedded升降油烟机 exhibited was launched by Fangtai as early as 2023, and it was also a key product showcased by Casarte at AWE2024. Similar examples include 超薄油烟机, dishwasher, and 微蒸烤 appliances. To provide a more coherent translation:This is why潮流家电网 recommends that visitors to the exhibition stop by the Dreame booth.

I will provide a final clean version focusing on the actual translation:This is why the Dianlang Home Appliance Network recommends that visitors to the exhibition stop by the Dreame booth.

Similar examples include 超薄油烟机, dishwashers, and 微蒸烤 appliances.This is also the biggest impression that追觅厨电 left on the audience at AWE2025.So, is it possible for Dreame to become the "catfish" in the kitchen appliance industry? The answer from Trendy Home Appliances Network is no, because Dreame is still following an old path in the kitchen appliance industry, a path of following, and a continued struggle in a fiercely competitive market. Perhaps overshadowed by its predecessors, when compared horizontally with Xiaomi's kitchen appliances, Dreame has yet to leave a "mark" in the kitchen appliance industry and has not found a solution from the existing "technology patent pool."From the perspective of the entire industry, the kitchen appliance sector is not lacking in high-quality products, innovative designs, or creativity, with established brands like Fotile, Robam, and Vatti leading the way, and a well-developed supply chain system (meaning OEM is easily accessible). For most companies, the most critical and pressing challenge lies in breaking through via distribution channels and deepening their presence in the replacement market. The "Winning Move" in a Stock MarketTrend Home Appliance Network once stated in the "2024 Kitchen Appliance Market Analysis Report: 'National Subsidy' is a Variable and an Accelerator of Polarization" that, from a macro perspective, the entire kitchen appliance industry is pessimistic, with the core reason being the lack of consumer motivation. Therefore, in recent years, everyone has been competing on parameters, prices, and performance.This is also the largest two "variables" in the kitchen appliance industry today: consumption scenarios and consumption mindset.From a consumption perspective, the kitchen appliance industry has shifted from an "incremental" market to one that is characterized by both "incremental and存量市场". Trendy Home Network is more inclined to believe it has already entered the "存量 market." This is in stark contrast to the cleaning appliances industry, which is still experiencing growth. Currently, for new entrants, the kitchen appliance industry is not very welcoming. Under the conditions of a存量 market, without national subsidies, it is quite challenging for new brands to "take" market share from existing brands.From the perspective of consumer psychology, the main consumer demographic has shifted to the post-95s and post-00s generations, whose consumption mentality leans more toward rationality. Another notable change is that a significant portion of the "middle class," previously associated with paying for a quality lifestyle, has now retreated to the "ordinary class." As a result, we observe that most brands have moved toward "price competition," which will have a substantial impact on mid-to-high-end brands.In the stock market, the main demand comes from replacement, meaning that demand is becoming "fragmented," which poses higher requirements for the breadth of channels. However, looking at Dreame's current channels, although both online and offline layouts have been implemented, the advantage is clearly more prominent in the online channel. Yet, competition in the online kitchen appliance market is even fiercer, and there is greater sensitivity to pricing, which clearly does not align with Dreame's positioning as a high-end smart kitchen brand.From an industry perspective, truly excelling in the kitchen appliance category requires comprehensive offline channel deployment and experience, a path that brands like Xiaomi and KAD are currently pursuing. In a sense, this also represents the biggest hurdle for new entrants, as the challenge for kitchen appliance companies is not so much the product itself, but rather the layout of channels and how to find consumers in an existing market.This is also the biggest "challenge" that Dreame kitchen appliances face.From another perspective, after entering the major appliance and kitchen appliance sectors, Dreame will face competition from household appliance giants such as Midea, Haier, Hisense, Skyworth, and Xiaomi. How to carve out a share in a mature market with established brand systems will be the key to whether Dreame can break through.From Dreame's perspective, entering the large home appliance sector should only be a small part of Dreame's expansion into multiple product categories. There have been numerous rumors in the industry about Dreame planning to manufacture cars or even aircraft. If these rumors prove true, for a company with annual revenues of around 10 billion yuan, it would face multiple pressures related to funding, talent, distribution channels, and more.So, how should we view Dreame entering the kitchen appliance market?Dongqi Think Tank believes that it is not difficult for Dreame kitchen appliances to survive with the existing system and channels, but to make further progress and establish a foothold in the industry like Xiaomi, there is still a long way to go. The challenges faced by Dreame include both industry-wide dilemmas and strategic planning issues of the brand itself.History always repeats itself in astonishing ways. The paths we pursue today have been tread countless times by those before us. The best way to avoid the pitfalls they encountered is to walk the path ourselves.

India's iPhone production doubles: Foxconn expands capacity
On April 1, news reports indicated that the vast majority of iPhones worldwide are still produced in China, but Apple has been working for many years to diversify its supply chain.Initially, Foxconn's factory in India only produced the iPhone SE. Now, it is capable of manufacturing the latest flagship models, indicating a continuous expansion of the product line at the India plant.Latest reports show that India is actively promoting "Make in India" by providing tax incentives for imported components. Apple plans to transfer 25% of its iPhone production capacity to India by 2027.To this end, Foxconn has built a new factory in Bangalore. According to informed sources, last year Foxconn's Indian plant assembled about 12 million iPhones.With the commencement of the Bangalore factory, this year's production target has been raised to 25-30 million units.Three to four months ago, Foxconn began small-scale trial production, and the current focus is on improving quality control to ensure stability during mass production.Analysts point out that the configuration of global supply chains is ultimately determined by costs and markets. The most significant cost advantage comes from scale, followed by investment amounts and material costs, and also depends on management. As a capital- and technology-intensive industry, components still see a substantial proportion of Apple's parts production based in China. No place in the world can承接大规模的转移 in the short term, and it is not easy for India to replicate China's manufacturing success in the short term.

Investment in lithium battery separators "cools down," industry enters a period of calm.
The lithium battery separator, as a key internal component of lithium batteries, is undoubtedly important. With the vigorous development of the new energy industry, although the lithium battery separator market is gradually returning to rationality, it still attracts a lot of capital attention.Investment enthusiasm fluctuates, returning to rational development.The promising prospects of lithium battery separators have attracted numerous capital investments. According to the "Analysis and Forecast Report on the Development Status and Investment Prospects of China's Lithium Battery Separator Industry (2025-2032)" released by Guanyan Report Network, the number of lithium battery separator investments in China increased from 3 cases in 2019 to 13 cases in 2023. The investment amount rose from 350 million yuan to 3.301 billion yuan during the same period, with the peak investment amount reaching 8.15 billion yuan in 2022. In 2024, investments in lithium battery separators in China gradually returned to rationality, with 9 investment cases and an amount of 501 million yuan. Continuous increase in shipment volume, with wet-process separator membranes dominating the mainstream.Driven by the development of new energy vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics, coupled with the enhanced shipping capacity of domestic diaphragm manufacturers, the shipment volume of lithium battery diaphragms in China has continued to grow rapidly. In 2023, the shipment volume reached 17.1 billion square meters, a year-on-year increase of 30.5%; in 2024, the shipment volume is expected to further increase to 22.3 billion square meters, with a year-on-year growth rate of 30.4%. It is estimated that by 2025, the shipment volume will reach 26.7 billion square meters, with a growth rate of 19.7%.According to the different mechanisms of micropore formation, separator processes are divided into dry and wet methods. The dry process involves blending raw materials such as high-molecular polymers and additives to form a uniform melt, stretching it at a specific temperature to create slit-like micropores, and then thermally setting it to obtain a microporous membrane. This mainly includes uniaxial and biaxial stretching processes. The wet process, also known as the phase separation method, mixes liquid hydrocarbons and polyolefin resins, heats them into a uniform mixture, cools them to induce phase separation, and presses them into film sheets. These sheets are then heated to the melting point for biaxial stretching, and volatile substances are used to wash away residual solvents, resulting in an interconnected microporous membrane.Due to differences in performance characteristics, the two types of separator production processes are applied in different scenarios. Dry-process separators, with their high safety and lower cost, are primarily used in large lithium iron phosphate (LFP) power batteries. In contrast, wet-process separators, which are thinner, have higher porosity, and offer superior uniformity in pore size and air permeability, outperform dry-process separators in mechanical properties, breathability, and physicochemical performance. As a result, they are more widely used in ternary batteries, where energy density is a priority. Currently, wet-process separators dominate China's lithium battery separator industry. Data shows that in 2024, wet-process separators accounted for 76.9% of China's total lithium battery separator shipments, while dry-process separators made up only 23.1%.High industry barriers, high market concentrationThe lithium battery separator industry is a typical "heavy asset" industry, with fixed assets accounting for the highest proportion among the four major materials. Separator production demands high requirements for equipment selection, necessitating customized production lines based on different manufacturing processes, making production challenging. The choice of production equipment and processes can directly impact the comprehensive physical and chemical properties of the separator. Additionally, the lithium battery separator industry involves complex processes and significant material loss. Compared to other materials, the separator industry has more stages in the production process that result in notable losses. Even after forming the master roll, losses continue to occur during subsequent processes. The master roll needs to be slit according to product specifications, generating a small amount of scrap edges, and certain losses also occur during the coating process of the base film. The high manufacturing difficulty leads to relatively low yield rates in the separator industry, creating higher industry barriers and concentrated market distribution. Data shows that the CR3 of China's lithium battery separator industry is approximately 55%, while the CR6 exceeds 80%. From an international perspective, China, South Korea, Japan, and the United States are the primary suppliers of global lithium-ion battery separators, accounting for a total capacity share of 98%. Among them, China's lithium-ion battery separator products stand out in terms of scale and cost-effectiveness, gradually occupying a significant position in the global supply market. According to data, China's lithium-ion battery separator capacity accounts for 43% of the global market, far exceeding South Korea (28%), Japan (21%), and the United States (6%). With the expansion plans of Japanese and Korean companies falling short of expectations, the global lithium-ion battery separator industrial chain will continue to shift towards China.

Profit of 600 million vs. debt of 100 billion: Is Suning.com turning around or facing a crisis?
Some businesses were sold off, others were spun out, and after a period of streamlining, Suning.com has successfully turned a "profit" by taking advantage of the favorable policy of trade-ins for new products. On March 29, Suning.com released its 2024 annual report. The report shows that the company achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of 610 million yuan for the whole year, an increase of 114.93% year-on-year. The net amount of cash flow generated from operating activities was 4.586 billion yuan, an increase of 57.56% year-on-year, marking the first time the company has achieved a full-year profit since 2020.Although some argue that Suning.com's profits in 2024 are "technical" profits achieved through debt relief and asset sales, overall, profitability at the operational level is still a positive signal.Industry insiders pointed out that under the burden of huge debts, Suning's profitability is also the result of operational improvement, which is conducive to enhancing the confidence of investors and creditors, providing more room for Suning to make a comeback. The fee and debt reductions granted by relevant stakeholders are a vote of confidence and bet on Suning's recovery.01Business improvement, but the road ahead is long and challenging.After Zhang Jindong's return, Suning.com refocused on its core retail business and achieved operational improvements through measures such as asset sales and debt resolution. The capital operations involving TTK Express, while streamlining burdens, also added a new source of net profit for the company. This is seen as a technical contributor to Suning.com's profitability. Additionally, last year, Suning.com gained investment income of 1.244 billion yuan from advertising fees, rental income, property management fees, and partial debt exemptions.Industry insiders pointed out that Suning.com can still generate revenue this year through the same method, as the market value of the China Unicom stocks held by Suning.com is around 2.3 billion yuan. The arbitration application related to the 5.041 billion yuan buyback amount involving Wanda Group has also been accepted.However, it is undeniable that, with the tailwind of the trade-in policy and its own reform strategies, Suning.com's turnaround from losses to profits also involves certain proactive factors. From a policy perspective, the trade-in initiative has driven a recovery in the home appliance consumer market. According to data from AVC, the retail sales of all home appliance categories in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by 24.4% year-on-year. As an important home appliance retail channel, Suning.com took the lead in responding to and undertaking the trade-in subsidy campaign. Relying on its nationwide store layout and localized retail service capabilities, its total channel operating income in the fourth quarter increased by 34.35% year-on-year. The conversion rate of the company's trade-in business is higher than the industry level.The Suning.com report shows that in 2024, Suning.com promoted the comprehensive optimization and upgrade of its store model, with comparable store sales revenue and sales per square meter increasing by 2.8% and 1.17% year-on-year, respectively. Particularly in the fourth quarter, performance was strong, with comparable store revenue and sales per square meter rising by 64% and 62% year-on-year, respectively.In terms of performance, Suning.com achieved both revenue and profit growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, with revenue and net profit reaching 18.769 billion yuan and 11 million yuan, respectively, representing year-on-year increases of 34.35% and 100.77%. The growth rate of net profit outpaced that of revenue.Despite the improved performance of Suning.com in 2024, the company's crisis has not been resolved. Although it has received some debt relief, Suning.com's debt crisis still looms large. As of the end of 2024, the company's asset-liability ratio remains as high as 90.63%, with current liabilities exceeding current assets by 40.859 billion yuan. Additionally, 33.189 billion yuan in payables are overdue, and 16.810 billion yuan in bank and financial institution loans have triggered defaults or early repayment clauses in the relevant loan agreements.Of the company's RMB 119 billion in total assets, more than RMB 51 billion are restricted for various reasons. In 2024, as a defendant due to contract disputes, the company and its controlled subsidiaries saw new litigation and arbitration cases with a claimed amount exceeding RMB 3.3 billion. This adds uncertainty to Suning Commerce Group's subsequent operations.02Suning.com Implements a Strategy of StabilityIndustry insiders point out that achieving profitability at the operational level still holds significant positive implications. Under heavy debt, the sustained improvement in operating cash flow (such as maintaining a positive net operating cash flow in 2024) provides core support for stabilizing creditors.Looking back at its business development in 2024, Suning.com seized the opportunity of the national trade-in policy, resulting in a 150% increase in trade-in order volume in 2024, which drove a year-on-year growth of 24.4% in retail sales across all home appliance categories in the fourth quarter. By combining "national subsidies + manufacturer subsidies + Suning subsidies," the cost for consumers to trade in their old products was significantly reduced, stimulating demand release, directly boosting sales growth, and improving operating cash flow.What is reflected behind this is Suning's ability to align with policies. The full utilization of the old-for-new policy dividends is beneficial for strengthening its leading position in the home appliance retail channel and enhancing its confidence in sustainable profitability. Industry insiders believe that the recovery of profitability has strengthened creditors' confidence in the company's debt repayment ability.Additionally, the enhancement of hematopoietic capacity also helps it break free from the cycle of "repaying old debts with new loans." Suning.com is transitioning toward a virtuous cycle where operational profits support debt repayment. Benefiting from the policy红利 of trade-in programs, Suning.com's performance outlook for 2025 remains positive. Analysts point out that with the continued advancement of the "trade-in" policy, Suning.com's sales scale, market share, and operational efficiency are expected to further improve.However, in the long term, Suning.com still faces uncertain risks. The recovery of profitability can only be delayed, but the real problem cannot be solved. The scale of short-term borrowings and maturing debts still exceeds 20 billion yuan. In 2024, the net cash outflow from financing activities means that the path of repaying debts relying on operating cash flow may break under the background of shrinking revenue. In addition, the two-way squeeze from traditional e-commerce platforms (JD.com, Tmall) and instant retail platforms (Meituan, Douyin), along with consumer price comparison behaviors, has led to a decline in the premium ability of offline channels.If the non-GAAP net profit can substantially turn positive in 2025, and debt does not trigger a new liquidity crisis, the sustainability of Suning.com's profitability can be expected.

Another veteran home appliance company goes bankrupt, the OEM dilemma under industrial clustering
On March 11, Zhongshan Weidi Electric Co., Ltd. announced its closure and liquidation, marking the official end of this well-established home appliance company with over twenty years of history. Weidi Electric had deep cooperation with Midea Group and, at its peak, employed several hundred people, gaining significant recognition in the small appliance industry. Its closure and liquidation evoke a sense of regret. The company's downfall not only reveals the fragility of the traditional OEM model but also reflects the survival challenges faced by the Chinese home appliance industry amid the wave of transformation towards intelligence and branding.The double-edged sword of OEM: success lies in OEM, failure also lies in OEMSince its establishment, Wei's Electric Appliances has focused on OEM manufacturing as its core business, producing soy milk makers, juicers, electric ovens, and other small appliances for various domestic and international brands. At its peak, the company had hundreds of employees and a monthly production capacity of over 200,000 units. However, the excessive reliance on the OEM model has resulted in the company being stuck at the low end of the industry chain for a long time.V-Dome Electric, despite owning hundreds of patents, failed to incubate its own brand, missing the opportunity to enhance profits through brand premium. In recent years, the profit margins of OEM companies have been severely squeezed, with OEM profit rates generally below 10%. Brand owners, who control pricing power and market channels, left V-Dome Electric with weak bargaining power. Especially in 2024, external shocks such as rising raw material costs and fluctuations in overseas orders hit OEM companies the hardest. Additionally, a client's cancellation of a new product order after paying a deposit resulted in V-Dome Electric losing its prior RD investment, leading to a rapid break in its cash flow.From the perspective of Wei's Electrical Appliance's own situation, the break in the capital chain was a direct and important reason for its collapse. Capital is like the lifeblood of a company; once the capital chain breaks, the company struggles to operate. Banks consider the company's product sales and the healthy state of its operations when providing continuation loans. When sales plummet, and the products into which the company has invested heavily are shelved due to customer issues—for example, customers only pay a deposit, and after the company invests a large amount of capital in development, the customers no longer place orders—this leads to a significant occupation of the company's funds, preventing normal cash flow.The impact and challenges of the clustering of the home appliance industry on small and medium-sized brands.Amid the wave of global economic integration and industrial upgrading, the cluster-based development of China's home appliance industry has become increasingly prominent, forming representative industrial clusters in regions such as Guangdong, Shandong, and Zhejiang. Leveraging advantages like economies of scale and industrial chain synergy, these clusters have played a pivotal role in propelling China's home appliance industry onto the global stage. However, behind the vigorous growth of industrial clustering, small and medium-sized home appliance brands are facing unprecedented challenges and pressures.In the process of industrial cluster development, large home appliance companies leverage their strong financial resources to continuously increase RD investments, leading the trend of technological innovation in the industry. Taking the smart home appliance clusters in Qingdao and Guangfohui as examples, leading enterprises such as Haier and Midea not only have their own RD centers but also collaborate with universities and research institutions, investing substantial funds annually in the development of new technologies and products. In contrast, smaller brands, due to limited financial resources, struggle with inadequate RD funding and find it difficult to compete with major players in terms of technology.The formation of industrial clusters has attracted a large number of suppliers and supporting enterprises. Large home appliance enterprises, leveraging their scale advantages and market position, can establish long-term stable cooperative relationships with suppliers, securing high-quality raw material supplies, more favorable prices, and priority delivery rights. In supply chain management, large enterprises can also optimize supply chain processes through digital means, achieving zero inventory management and reducing costs. Small and medium-sized brands, due to their small procurement volumes, are often at a disadvantage when negotiating with suppliers, not only facing higher procurement costs but also potential instability in raw material supplies. Once raw material prices fluctuate, it is difficult for small and medium-sized brands to absorb the cost pressure, forcing them to compress profit margins and even affecting normal product production. In the context of industrial cluster development, small and medium-sized brands in China's home appliance industry are facing impacts from multiple aspects such as technology, brand, supply chain, and channels. To survive and develop in the fierce market competition, these small and medium-sized brands must recognize their own advantages, seek differentiated development paths, strengthen technological innovation and brand building, optimize supply chain management, expand sales channels, and enhance their core competitiveness. At the same time, the government and industry associations should provide more support and guidance to small and medium-sized brands, create a fair competitive market environment, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of China's home appliance industry.The cessation of operations, liquidation, and deregistration of Zhongshan WeiDi Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. is an isolated case, yet it also epitomizes the structural conflict between the traditional OEM model and the era of intelligent technology. China's home appliance industry is undergoing brand clustering, with the "Matthew Effect" brutally filtering participants through its elimination mechanism. Only by breaking free from the shackles of OEM and embracing innovation and transformation can enterprises remain invincible in the wave of "digital intelligence."

How different can foldable devices be? Huawei Pura X has given me a new understanding.
On March 20, Huawei officially released the 16:10 wide foldable "born for content", which disrupted the traditional mobile phone form and attracted much attention.After seeing the Huawei Pura X brought back by our colleague from Shenzhen, Tony feels that such a proportion design makes it difficult to simply classify it into any previous large folding or small folding products. A few days after the press conference, Tony also lurked in a digital chat group to check out everyone's comments. He found that those who haven't used foldable screens had more doubts, while those who were already using foldable screens were very much looking forward to it --- believing that this new aspect ratio really addressed quite a few pain points of previous large and small foldable screens.On the day of the first sale, Tony also went to the Huawei store near the company to hang out. There were already many people waiting outside to pick up their orders before the store opened. In less than two hours, the stock in the store was sold out...Tony has also been using the Pura X as his main phone for a while now. How does it actually perform in real-life use? What pain points can the Pura X's inner and outer screen display solutions address? Today, Tony will give everyone a detailed breakdown.# Inner screenLet's first talk about the experience of the inner screen. Tony used the Mate X6, Mate 70 Pro+, and Pura X to watch a video from Bilibili. It can be seen that Pura X has the smallest black borders when playing a 16:9 widescreen video, providing the most immersive experience. Additionally, the actual display area is almost no different compared to the larger-screened Mate X6.With such a large display area, combined with the system's preparations for video content, watching movies on the Huawei Pura X is really enjoyable...Tony has recently been using the Huawei Video app to watch shows and has discovered that it aggregates content from several mainstream platforms like Mango TV, Youku, and Tencent Video. He can watch popular shows like "The Chess Player" and "Riding the Wind 2025" on it.With such a large display area, coupled with Huawei Video’s built-in AiMax cinema, it supports up to 4K resolution + HDR Vivid + Audio Vivid, providing excellent audio-visual effects when watching movies, resulting in a very good visual experience.In addition to watching TV series and movies, browsing third-party information streams can also be very immersive. Many contents on TikTok can fill the screen, and Xiaohongshu can display eight notes at once by default. It feels like practicing quantum speed reading after browsing for a long time.As a beginner VIP seed player, Tony also tried reading e-books on the Huawei Pura X. The text display style at this ratio is very similar to traditional paper books, which is indeed enjoyable.If any of you folks in front of the screen have used the "eye-tracking" technology on mobile phones back in the day, you might know how frustrating it was to use. You had to keep your eyes wide open, and the up-and-down movements had to be exaggerated for the phone to recognize them. After just a few scrolls, your eyes would be exhausted.But I have to say, the AI eye-tracking page-turning feature launched by Huawei Reading on the Huawei Pura X this time is quite something — the sensitivity is really well done. It doesn’t interfere with normal reading, nor does it require any exaggerated movements to achieve automatic page-turning, allowing for hands-free reading.Later, I learned that Huawei has implemented a low-power perception technology in its channels, which means using AI to create a model of the eyeball to predict the user's gaze point on the screen. Moreover, it can gradually calibrate during use, becoming more accurate the more it is used, which is why this feature is so highly usable.I also think we can praise Huawei for the bookshelf card widget on the desktop — it has a skeuomorphic design, and you can tell that the designer has a life of their own...Moreover, the books on the "bookshelf" are not just for show—clicking on them will directly take you to the corresponding book for reading.#Outer screen , a strong and independent woman who is not afraid to take risks and make decisions.

When Tony used QQ Music and Huawei Music, he found that both apps had independent adaptations for the external screen. Additionally, Huawei Music even designed a card-style interface for the "Concert Hall" channel.The square screen outside can perfectly fit the album poster in an immersive way, and the sense of elegance comes naturally.And when you bump to share with other HarmonyOS 5.0 devices at this moment, it feels like the album really flies into the other phone. See, who said there's no realism design in 2025?Tony also has a favorite feature—the small-screen news function. Nowadays, many manufacturers like to integrate news features into browsers, but the experience is generally mediocre. Most of them just display a headline with a link, making it feel like an afterthought.However, the Huawei browser's news section on the Pura X is quite exquisite. In the "Vision" section on the homepage, all the news is integrated into a card-style format with images and titles, allowing users to scroll down to browse the articles. Of course, the experience of browsing "Vision" on the inner screen is even better.In addition, it has a daily morning report feature that allows users to "read or listen" to news in one place every day. They can catch up on the news while washing their face in the morning after waking up, which is perfect for us cyber middle-aged people.However, Huawei also has a whitelist mechanism for these external screen applications, so before an app is released, it undergoes official review. Therefore, it’s okay if some apps are temporarily unavailable—the official team might still be fine-tuning some adaptation details. Tony noticed during these past few days that the number of external screen apps has clearly increased.#Game When it comes to gaming, Tony didn't really want to bring it up—who buys a foldable phone just to play games at home!However, Huawei's inner screen this time really looks too much like a small tablet. It's hard to justify not playing a game on this size, especially since the HarmonyOS ecosystem has been improving its support for games recently.Tony tried playing games like "Honor of Kings" and "Peacekeeper Elite," which are already available on the Huawei Game Center. The core feeling he got was that the visuals were more immersive, the controls were more convenient, and the overall experience felt more like a compact gaming tablet, but without the bulkiness of a tablet.The Pura X also has some tricks up its sleeve with the outer screen this time, and Huawei has even adapted some games for the outer screen.Currently, the external screen mainly supports small games like "Happy Eliminate," "Subway Surfers," and "Snake.io." These games feature simple controls and classic gameplay, making them perfect for killing time and relieving stress.Tony envisioned a scene - playing Subway Surfers while waiting for his pigeon friend at the subway station on the weekend, but he got too immersed in it.To be honest, playing games with this size does make me feel a bit like I'm back with the Game Boy...说实话,现在鸿蒙5.0上的游戏确实不少了,但也希望个别厂商能加快脚步,别让人干等着着急。。。Well, as for the games on HarmonyOS 5.0, there are quite a few now, but I hope some developers can speed up their progress and not keep users waiting impatiently...SummaryWriting here, Tony wants to apologize to everyone first... Because the inner and outer screens of Pura X are too much fun, so he accidentally wrote a lot.Of course, we've also tested other aspects, and I think everyone might be quite concerned about the imaging capabilities. As you can see, in outdoor environments with ample lighting, the main camera performance of the Pura X can go head-to-head with the Mate X6. Even when zooming in on the details, both phones perform about the same.When sliding to the left and using the main camera for cropping, the equivalent focal length reaches 48mm. The Pura X still performs impressively, showing that the software tuning has something special. Swiping left, and this time with the加持 of red maple, the color reproduction is more accurate. In early spring Hangzhou, colors have started to become richer. Tony went out to take photos this time and could feel that the color performance of Pura X was very pleasing. Here are some sample photos for you to get a feel of it~Here are two more vertical ones for everyone to see.However, at the end of the evaluation, I feel that we should still focus on the concept of "wide folding" with the Pura X. In fact, this 16:10 aspect ratio from Huawei is not a new concept; it has been carried over from Huawei's laptops and tablets.Closer to the present, many people may not even know that the unfolded inner screen of the Mate XT tri-fold has a "16:11" aspect ratio.Huawei favors this aspect ratio because, based on my experience, it can display more content in office scenarios and reduce black bars during movie watching, enhancing immersion. It could be said that this ratio was made for content consumption.Here's the thing: in the past, when people watched videos on their phones with an 18:9 full-screen aspect ratio, there was always a large black border. The Pura X's 16:10 aspect ratio perfectly solves this issue, and making it a foldable screen allows you to easily carry this wide screen in your pocket.Look at this—this product seems to combine the content capabilities of a large foldable with the portability of a small foldable, which sounds like the best of both worlds.Although there is still room for optimization in the adaptation of some external screen applications at present, as more and more people get their hands on this phone, providing more suggestions to the official team should help resolve the issues, given Huawei's strong execution capabilities.When more developers in the future adapt and develop for this "screen born for content," Tony believes that the best is yet to come.
