To talk about some of the major changes in China's public areas in the past ten years, the public massage chair deserves to be on the list, when it first appeared in the market, it once became the new favorite of public places, in shopping malls, airports, subway stations and other places.
People can rent a massage chair through the mobile app and enjoy a simple, fast and economical massage service. However, in recent years, shared massage chairs have gradually become the target of public criticism and have been criticized and questioned by many parties.
In this process, people also have to think about what the public massage chair has experienced from "sweeping the market" to "everyone shouting and fighting"?
Let's start with the source of its rise, the shared massage chair first appeared in Japan, at the beginning it was still an automatic massage chair, but with the progress of science and technology, the massage chair is becoming more and more intelligent.
And the price has gradually decreased, both in terms of use and economy, it has provided the public with a convenient option to enjoy massage, so it has won the support of many people.
In 2017, shared massage chairs began to emerge in the Chinese market, and at the beginning, they often appeared in large shopping malls, airports, train stations and other public places to provide massage services for passing citizens.
For such a fresh product, many people are eager to try, and said that the experience is very good, which helps people to send when they are tired, so the public massage chair quickly occupied a dominant position in the market and became the pet of consumers.
And with its development, these shared massage chairs are now not only in shopping malls, airports, subway stations and other places, but even in some cinemas and taxis, these relaxing massage chairs are also installed.
Although the rise of shared massage chairs is sought after by consumers, it is not universally recognized, and shared massage chairs have also caused a series of controversies. Among them, the biggest issue is health and safety, and this one is also the most vocal.
Since the shared massage chair is for public use, many people often feel unhygienic and unsafe after using the shared massage chair, and there is a risk of infectious diseases.
Because shared massage chairs are not often cleaned up, everyone's concerns are not unreasonable, and now there are some ill-intentioned people who will place fine needles on these massage chairs, and there may be some infectious substances on these needles.
In addition, the sharing of massage chairs also raises some safety risks, such as some people start to operate before they sit down, but because the human body is immobilized, even if it is uncomfortable, it cannot escape, resulting in the final bone damage.
Moreover, there are some criminals who use the shared massage chair as a criminal tool, that is, to use consumers to blackmail or directly rob consumers of their money when they are on the massage chairs.
The managers of shared massage chairs also lack effective safety measures, resulting in repeated safety problems. They just designed such a device, but there are still many shortcomings in many aspects.
Moreover, some unscrupulous businesses will also reduce the quality and service life of shared massage chairs through cost-effective and other means, which greatly improves the possibility of some hidden crises and brings potential safety hazards to consumers.
In addition, the current situation of shared massage chairs is also limited by space and time, and the use rate will be reduced if the interval between use is too long or the number of people in the mall is small.
However, the maintenance and operating costs of shared massage chairs are extremely high, making it difficult for the business model of shared massage chairs to develop sustainably, so some shopping malls will also deal with power outages for these public massage chairs.
The shared massage chair once became one of the new outlets, however, after a period of short-term prosperity, it is facing more and more difficulties, whether it is in terms of hygiene or safety, it has quite a big problem.
This also makes people less and less willing to use it. At the same time, the market competition of shared massage chairs is extremely fierce, and many companies have reduced the quality and price of massage chairs in order to compete for market share, bringing potential safety hazards and a decline in user experience to consumers.
In the face of these problems, operators of shared massage chairs have also begun to take action to strengthen the management and safety of shared massage chairs, strengthen hygiene and cleaning measures, and improve user experience.
At the same time, some companies are also trying to expand the use scenarios of shared massage chairs, promoting shared massage chairs in universities, offices, residential areas and other places, and setting up corresponding maintenance, safety and cleaning service guarantees.
Shared massage chair is a convenient, economical and fast way of massage, and the future market potential is huge, but the prospect of development also needs to face many challenges. In order to develop and grow, shared massage chairs need to expand from "single use" to "multiple use scenarios".
Establish a complete ecological and service system, and at the same time strengthen the cleaning, maintenance and safety management of chairs to meet consumer needs and improve user experience. Only by doing better in these aspects can shared massage chairs continue to develop steadily.
