HONG KONG, Jan 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On January 7, 2025, the four-day International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) was grandly held in Las Vegas. As a bellwether for technological innovation, CES serves not only as a platform to display the latest technological achievements but also as an essential window into future technological trends.Vortex 8's Stunning Showcase Highlights the Limitless Potential of Water Purification TechnologyViomi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Viomi,”, “the Company”, NASDAQ: VIOT) made its grand entrance at CES 2025 with its new product, the Vortex 8. This launch not only highlights the Company’s cutting-edge position in water purification technology but also showcases its deep commitment to sustainability and relentless pursuit of innovation.Viomi’s booth featured two flagship products: the Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier and the Vortex 8. Both products are equipped with RO filtration technology, which leverages its precision of 0.0001 microns to effectively remove harmful pollutants such as PFOA, PFOS, viruses, heavy metals, and microplastics. Additionally, the systems significantly lower the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels, providing consumers with pure and safe drinking water. With an efficient 3:1 wastewater ratio and a 4-year long-life filter design, these products not only improve filtration efficiency but also significantly reduce water wastage and replacement costs. This marks a major breakthrough for Viomi in the field of home water health. Vortex 8 had previously gained strong support on Kickstarter, raising over HKD 450,000 from nearly 200 backers, exceeding expectations by 1,200%. Following its launch on Amazon, it has also received enthusiastic feedback from consumers. Users commonly praise the Vortex 8 for its ability to effectively conserve water, ease of installation, and high marks for its RO filtration technology.Furthermore, the Viomi Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier offers a unique experience, featuring the ability to release six vital minerals. This provides users seeking a high-quality, healthy lifestyle with a drinking water solution enriched with beneficial minerals, redefining the standards and possibilities for modern household health water. The Kunlun Mineral Water Purifier's filter core is sourced from Kunlun Mountain’s blue stone mineral deposits. Through two industry-first innovations—NLS natural lava physical composite technology and SMM mineral micropore passivation—along with AI mineral slow-release algorithms, it intelligently adjusts the system for stable and efficient mineral release from the filter core. The water filtered by the Kunlun system contains six beneficial minerals—strontium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and metasilicic acid—similar to the mineral content found in natural mineral waters. Among these, strontium levels reach 0.4-1.4 mg/L, which is twice the national standard (0.2 mg/L), enabling users to enjoy high-quality Kunlun mineral water containing strontium and metasilicic acid right at home.Viomi’s Founder and CEO, Chen Xiaoping, remarked: “Vortex 8 is more than just a water purifier; it is an enhancement of everyday living. With its exceptional performance, long-lasting durability, and environmentally friendly design, it epitomizes our commitment to providing cleaner and better water to every household.”Showcasing China’s Innovation: Viomi Establishes a New Standard in the Water Filtration IndustryAs Chinese companies continue to enhance their technological capabilities and product quality, they are progressively establishing strong brand identities through sustained investment in R&D and active market expansion. As a result, Chinese enterprises are emerging as key players on the global stage. In recent years, the water purifier industry has experienced positive growth, driven by policy guidance, increasing market demand, and technological advancements. The Chinese government has introduced a series of policies aimed at promoting the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly water purification products, aligning with the country’s long-term goal of achieving carbon peak by 2030.

These policies are not only driving the upgrade of water purifier products but also creating a favorable development environment for the industry. As consumer awareness of water safety continues to rise, the demand for water purification products in China is expected to grow, presenting significant market potential. According to the China Forward Industry Research Institute, the Chinese water purifier market is projected to grow at an annual rate of nearly 9%, potentially exceeding 30 billion RMB by 2028. Meanwhile, the U.S. water filtration market is also experiencing steady growth, with a projected market size of $10.4 billion by 2032. According to a report from the nonprofit organization DigDeep, 2.2 million people in the U.S. lack access to basic indoor plumbing and tap water, and over 44 million people rely on substandard water systems, highlighting the critical role of water purifiers.As a leader in the water purification industry, Viomi is spearheading technological advancements with its “AI for Better Water” smart purification technology. Viomi’s ERO+AI technology enables real-time water quality adjustment and monitoring while retaining beneficial minerals in the water.

The Company anticipates profits from these operations to range between 110 million and 130 million RMB. This positive outlook is closely tied to the company’s strategic business reorganization completed in August 2024, which involved divesting certain IoT@Home businesses and assets in order to concentrate on its core water purification operations. This restructuring initiative aims to optimize the company’s business structure, enhance operational efficiency, and focus on R&D and innovation in the water purification field. For the first half of 2024, Viomi reported net revenues of 1.04 billion RMB, with net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders reaching 6 million RMB, marking a successful turnaround. Excluding the divested businesses, revenue from core water purification and related services exceeded 800 million RMB, with operating profit surpassing 50 million RMB.
