The market has broad prospects and it is time to enter

According to CCTV Finance, outdoor power is one of the fastest-growing categories in the emerging industries. Three years ago, it was a very small category. There were only one or two outdoor power brands, and the transaction volume was very small. During Tmall “6.18 Consuming Festival” in 2021, the turnover of top brand’s outdoor power has rushed to the top 10 in the 3C digital accessories industry, with a growth rate of more than 300% in the past three years.

Industry experts said that the global outdoor power industry is currently in a period of rapid growth, but generally speaking, the industry has only been formed for two or three years, the industry threshold is not particularly high, and the scale of the leading brand is not very strong. It is the right time for Lifan Technology to enter this market.
