Skyworth Group is rolling out a comprehensive smart home ecosystem, introducing new home AI computing devices. With the rise of renewable energy and artificial intelligence, these will emerge as key drivers for future growth, according to the company’s founder.
In an interview, Huang Hongsheng explained that as Chinese chip technology advances, including products from Huawei’s Ascend series and Cambricon Technologies, every household is expected to feature AI computing terminals in the near future. He also mentioned plans to gradually unveil new home computing devices throughout this year.
Skyworth’s set-top boxes have already partnered with major telecom and broadcasting providers worldwide, amassing a user base of over one billion. Huang emphasized that these customers will increasingly require enhanced computational capabilities and token-based applications, representing significant market opportunities.
The company, based in Shenzhen, is cultivating several innovative tech subsidiaries, such as Pengnao Technology, a brain-computer interface firm. The goal is to foster more pioneering companies, apply various AI solutions, and grow their customer base actively.
On the television front, Huang highlighted that Skyworth acquired the rights to operate in European and North American markets for Panasonic earlier this year, following its acquisition of North American rights for Philips last year. Leveraging AI connection technologies, the company aims to benefit from product trade-ins and upgrade cycles.
Skyworth is also expanding its photovoltaic (PV) business both domestically and internationally, including markets in Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Europe, Africa, and South America. The company expects its overseas PV revenue to double this year.
Given the oversupply of silicon rods, materials, and solar cells in the solar industry’s upstream segments, Skyworth is focusing on the consumer end by branching into inverters, energy storage systems, battery modules, and solar panels. As global electricity prices climb and solar generation costs decrease, the company foresees sustained long-term demand in the trade-in market.
