The shift reflects growing preference for cost-effective OEM/ODM solutions with customizable features, particularly in Southeast Asia and Latin America.II. Core Drivers Behind 2025 Growth vs 20242.1 Product Innovation AccelerationWireless technology became a game-changer in 2025. Unlike 2024’s focus on basic portability, H1 2025 saw 78% of new launches integrate:

· Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (30+ hours of 保温)

· App connectivity for temperature customization

· Eco-friendly materials meeting EU REACH standards

This innovation pushed average selling prices (ASPs) up 3.2% YoY, from $66 to $68 per unit, without dampening demand.2.2 Demographic & Behavioral Shifts· Millennial/Gen Z parents (aged 25-34) now account for 72% of purchases (up from 65% in 2024)

· 63% of buyers prioritize "on-the-go functionality" (vs 48% in 2024)

· Online sales channels captured 59% of revenue (vs 52% in H1 2024), driven by DTC brand expansion2.3 Policy & Safety StandardsThe implementation of China’s updated "Baby Products Safety Technical Code" (GB 38995-2024) in January 2025 boosted consumer confidence in domestic brands, contributing to China’s 11.3% growth. Similarly, EU’s new chemical restrictions accelerated replacement demand for non-compliant 2024 models.III. H2 2025 Forecast: Sustained Growth with Moderate Headwinds3.1 Sales ProjectionWe forecast full-year 2025 revenue to reach **$1.72 billion**, with H2 contributing $894 million (a 7.1% YoY increase vs H2 2024). Key projections include:

· Wireless segment: 47% of H2 sales ($420 million), 15.2% YoY growth

· Smart-connected models: 23% penetration (up from 16% in H2 2024)

· Emerging markets (SEA, Middle East): 10.3% combined growth3.2 Growth Catalysts for H21. Holiday Season Demand: Q4 (Oct-Dec) typically drives 35% of annual sales, with 2025 expected to see 8-10% growth from Black Friday and Chinese New Year pre-orders.

2. New Market Entry: 12 major brands plan Southeast Asia launches in Q3, targeting Indonesia’s 5.2 million annual births.

3. Technological Upgrades: AI-powered temperature sensors (adapting to milk type) will launch in Q4, commanding 15-20% price premiums.3.3 Potential Risks· Raw material costs (plastic, lithium) could rise 5-7% in Q3 due to supply chain disruptions.

· Inventory surplus from H1 (1.2 million units) may trigger price wars among mid-tier brands.

· Slowdown in European disposable income growth could cap regional expansion at 4.5% (down from 4.8% in H1).IV. Strategic Implications for Manufacturers & SuppliersFor B2B players like Joystar, three opportunities stand out:

1. Wireless OEM Focus: Allocate 60% of production capacity to wireless models with 24+ hour battery life (highest demand in North America).

2. Emerging Market Customization: Develop entry-level wireless models ($45-55 ASP) for SE Asia, integrating local voltage standards (220V) and tropical climate-resistant materials.

3. Certification Readiness: Prioritize GB 38995-2024 (China) and EN 16840 (EU) certifications to capitalize on replacement demand.
