At the China International Consumer Products Expo (CICPE) in Haikou, the focus is on AI-enabled consumer devices that weave artificial intelligence into everyday life, with Rokid’s AI glasses leading the showcase.
Rokid’s AI glasses, developed by Hangzhou Lingban Technology, dominate the expo lineup, offering photo/video capture, real-time navigation, translation, payments, and a 24/7 captioning feature for the hearing-impaired, while expanding to customers in more than 100 countries.
The sixth CICPE underscores China as a global testbed for smart consumption, highlighting AI-driven consumer tech as a centerpiece of the event.
ARIDGE is showcasing rapid-mass production capabilities, having produced five Land Aircraft Carriers in March and aiming for up to one aircraft every 30 minutes at full capacity, with sizable order momentum.
The flying car targets low-altitude mobility and includes safety features like a single-lever control system and intelligent flight control, designed to be operated with instructor oversight when needed.
Industry analysts see 2026 as a pivotal year for widespread AI consumer-device adoption, signaling a shift in supply-demand dynamics within services and domestic consumption.
OSIM is showcasing the uDream AI wellness chair, which uses facial scanning to assess health metrics and delivers personalized massage programs.
Rokid’s glasses reportedly secured 300,000 orders in 2025, with shipments nine times higher than the prior year, and the product is expanding beyond tech professionals as consumer interest widens.
China’s AI+ action plan and the upcoming 2026-2030 five-year plan embed AI across consumption and sectors, signaling strong government support for AI integration into everyday products.
Industry voices, including Yan Jia of Taobao and Tmall Group, emphasize that AI empowers consumers and transforms markets rather than replacing humans.
Rokid’s co-founder Xiang Wenjie notes the goal of embedding AI into daily scenarios and continuously refining user experience.
Other AI-enabled products at CICPE include lightweight sleep-monitoring smart rings and AI-infused massage chairs, illustrating AI’s expansion into daily living and consumer experiences.
