I believe in the near future, through the constant update iterative water heater, derived from the Internet to manage the use of personalized water heater to adapt to various regions.For example, each tap at home can be self-sensing ambient temperature to adjust the water temperature, water heater Water flow can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the body's water characteristics, allowing users to get a more perfect feeling of intelligent life.
Orville cloud is based on open big data platform as the core resources, focusing on smart home big data technology and application service provider.According to Orville cloud in the 'United States talk' series conference data released in January 2017, In September, the retail sales of major household appliances and the year-on-year changes in retail sales of electric water heaters reached 23.91 billion yuan, an increase of 1.8% over the same period of last year. The retail sales of gas water heaters reached as high as 24.55 billion yuan, an increase of 17.8%.
High-speed thermal expansion average annual growth of 10% or more
Compared with other types of water heaters, the rapid expansion of the gas water heater market is attributed to the dividend of consumption upgrades and supply-side reforms in China.
Since 1972, Premier Chou visited Japan to bring back an inline gas water heater, gas water heater has gone through 45 years in China during this period, China has gradually emerged a number of gas water heater factory, technology from the past straight Row of gas water heaters upgraded to flue gas water heaters, set through the flue to solve the problem of combustion emissions, which greatly reduces the potential safety hazards caused by carbon monoxide.
At the same time, the new urbanization has also spurred the dual demand of popularity and replacement of burning-heat. In 2016, the national urbanization rate reached 57.35%, an increase of 1.25% over the same period of last year and every 1% increase of the urbanization rate means that 20 million people entered the cities from rural areas, And generate huge consumer demand.

Water heater industry will be led by 'aircraft carrier'
According to 2016 market analysis report of water heater industry, water heater market share is more dispersed, the top 20 market share of thermal manufacturers accounted for about 70% of the industry's lack of a real sense of the leading brand or brand group.
According to expert estimates, the market competition in the water heater industry in the next few years will be carried out in two steps. The first step is the competition between big brands and small brands. The competition in this phase mainly focuses on the market size and market share, and the scale is small Brand will be eliminated.The second step of the competition will start between big brands, business alliances and technology, services will become the focus of competition
Experts believe that costs, technologies, services and funds will be the major factors that dominate the competition in the water heater industry. Nearly 200 of China's existing production licenses are highly likely to be reduced to 20-30 in the next five years Home, in these enterprises, there will be 5-6 water heater industry in the "aircraft carrier" appear.
