Design companies in this field need to keep up with technological trends, constantly innovate design concepts and methods to meet market demand.
Medical category: about 20%. Including the design of medical equipment such as ultrasound diagnostic devices, surgical instruments, and medical electronic products such as monitors. Medical product design requires a high degree of professionalism and safety. Design companies should work closely with medical professionals, understand medical processes and requirements, and focus on product usability, reliability, and hygiene.
Household appliances account for approximately 15%. Design of household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, as well as small appliances such as rice cookers and hair dryers. Home appliances focus on functionality, aesthetics, and coordination with the home environment. Design companies need to consider the needs and aesthetics of different user groups, while also paying attention to trends such as energy conservation and environmental protection.
Intelligent equipment and robots account for approximately 15%. For example, the design of industrial robots, automated production lines, intelligent warehousing equipment, etc. The design of such products requires a combination of interdisciplinary knowledge such as mechanical engineering and automation control, with a focus on product stability, efficiency, and intelligence to improve production efficiency and quality.
Home and furniture category: accounting for about 10%. Including the design of furniture, home accessories, smart home systems, and more. Home product design emphasizes comfort, personalization, and space utilization, taking into account different styles of home decoration needs and the integration with intelligent technology to create a convenient and comfortable living environment for users.

The current situation of Shenzhen Industrial Design Company is as follows:
advantage
Leading in scale and strength: As the “capital of design”, Shenzhen leads the country in terms of industrial design development scale, level, and internationalization. We have 13 national level industrial design centers, over 100 provincial-level centers, and numerous city level industrial design centers.
Strong professional strength: In 2021, it was awarded the first batch of national industrial design characteristic service-oriented manufacturing demonstration cities by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In 2022, the total output value of industrial design reached 45 billion yuan. Nearly 50% of industrial design companies have been recognized as high-tech enterprises at the national, provincial, and municipal levels.
Outstanding international influence: Since 2012, Shenzhen enterprises and designers have won a total of iF Design Awards and Red Dot Design Awards, ranking first among large and medium-sized cities in China, and have a high reputation on the international design stage.
High degree of industrial integration: The deep integration of design with technology, art, industry, fashion, etc. provides strong innovation driving force for various industries, promotes industrial transformation and upgrading, and forms a complete design ecosystem.
Strong policy support: The government has introduced a series of policies to support the development of industrial design, such as the “Shenzhen City of Design” Construction Action Plan (2024-2026), which provides a favorable development environment for industrial design companies.
challenge
Technological gap: There is still a certain gap compared to developed countries and regions such as Europe and America in cutting-edge technology fields such as artificial intelligence design, research and development, and application. It is necessary to increase research and development investment and technological innovation.
Talent issue: Although there are many designers, the talent structure needs further optimization, and the reserve of high-end innovative talents and applied technical talents is still insufficient to meet the needs of rapid industrial development.
Innovation issues: Some enterprises lack original design capabilities, and there is a serious phenomenon of product homogenization. They lack brands with independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness in the international market, and the international discourse power of top design agencies still needs to be improved.
Integration issue: Although some achievements have been made in the integration of design and industry, there still exists the phenomenon of “information silos”, and the collaborative innovation between different industries and fields is not close enough. Further communication and cooperation need to be strengthened.
