Abstract

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is one of the most economically active, open and innovative regions in China. The Outline of the Plan for the Integrated Development of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) puts forward the need for the YRD to build world-class manufacturing clusters around 10 major areas, including smart home appliances. At present, the YRD smart home appliance industry cluster is characterized by a large scale of home appliance manufacturing industry, obvious industrial cluster effect, good industrial foundation, relative concentration of related scientific and technological research fields and concentrated spatial distribution of patent output. However, through analysis, the Yangtze River Delta smart home appliance industry cluster still exists problems such as low influence of local head enterprises, weak technical cooperation links, slower development of AI cutting-edge technologies and serious fragmentation of the smart home appliance ecology. To promote the Yangtze River Delta smart home appliance industry cluster to a world-class manufacturing industry cluster, it is necessary to improve the competitiveness of local leading enterprises, build an open and shared regional innovation platform, breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology by combining hard and soft and promote the upgrading of smart home appliances to the direction of smart home.
