- The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) is North America's largest trade show for the industry, annually attracting tens of thousands of designers, retailers, and builders and serving as a major platform for launching new products and technologies. - A core component of ROBAM's strategy is its "Culinary Master AI Mega Model," which has been in development for several years. In 2024, the company released a cooking-specific AI model named "Shishen" or "Food God". - The "Food God" AI can recommend recipes based on ingredients a user has, provide cultural backstories for dishes, and connect with ROBAM's appliances to automate cooking processes like adjusting heat on a stove. - The company invests approximately 5% of its revenue into research and development and has been focused on a "Ninth-level Central Digital Platform" to integrate data from R&D, manufacturing, and users. - One of the new products tailored for the American market is an under-cabinet range hood, designed to integrate into common kitchen layouts in the U.S. - The smart appliances market is projected to grow from over $42 billion in 2025 to more than $71 billion by 2030. - ROBAM faces a competitive landscape that includes established appliance manufacturers like Midea, Samsung, and LG, as well as technology companies and AI-focused startups such as Upliance and TechMagic.
