3.1. Benefiting from the epidemic home economy, the global demand for clean home appliances has grown rapidly

The company's steam heater products are mainly used in steam mops and other steam cleaning appliances: steam mops are principled by heating the water, generating pressure and high temperature, directly through high temperature and high pressure steam to disinfect and sterilize, clean the home environment, so it generally has high temperature sterilization, remove oil and other functions.

Steam mop mainly deep cleaning, multi-scene application to improve the use of satisfaction: the basic steam mop product uses high temperature steam to achieve deep cleaning, after cleaning the ground dry and odorless; in addition, the upgraded "steam mop" can be applied in multiple scenarios: sofa bed products, ground space, clothing textile can use the advantages of steam to dry and clean quickly.

From the perspective of global totals, the growth demand for clean home appliances in 2016-2019 remained stable, with an average annual compound growth rate of 7.19%; in 2020, affected by the epidemic, the home economic model promoted the growth of global demand for clean home appliances, and the market size of clean home appliances in 2020 was 28.543 billion US dollars, an increase of 25.27% year-on-year.

Horizontal comparison: the company's profitability is better among comparable companies 6. Performance forecasts

From the perspective of market segmentation, the scale of the clean home appliance market has grown significantly. From the perspective of the Chinese market, the cagr of clean home appliances in 2016-2019 was 28.04%, and in 2020, it increased by 20.06% year-on-year, and the overall growth was relatively fast. The growth of overseas markets in 2016-2019 is relatively slow, mainly because the main audience of clean home appliances, the developed countries in Europe and the United States, have become more mature and it is difficult to achieve large-scale growth. The growth rate of overseas markets in 2020 exceeded expectations, mainly due to the outbreak of the epidemic overseas, and the demand for cleaning products, especially sterilization and disinfection products, expanded rapidly.

Domestic market: Most of the situation of hard ground determines the coexistence of domestic sweeping and wiping demand, and the demand for wiping is more intense. More than 70% of households said they mopped the floor more than once a week, and more than 60% said it took more than 20 minutes each time.

Competitive advantage: based on technology to create high-quality products, and downstream leaders to carry out in-depth cooperation 5. Horizontal comparison: the company's profitability is better among comparable companies 6. Performance forecasts

In 2020, under the catalysis of the epidemic, the consumption habits of clean home appliances are expected to be reshaped: affected by the epidemic, people's health awareness will be raised to a new height in 2020, and the demand for cleaning of the living environment will be continuously released, in addition to vacuum cleaners, but also led to the development of a series of clean home appliances such as steam mops and scrubbers. According to the State Grid of China, the sales scale of steam mops increased by 132.6% year-on-year, accounting for 58.64% (+17.12pct) of mop sales, accounting for 5.24% of the total sales of clean home appliances.

Market space measurement

Overseas market space: Due to the long history of the use of steam mops in the European and American markets, the market penetration rate has been relatively saturated, and the penetration rate in 2019 is close to 10%, and we believe that its subsequent growth rate will be close to the market average, so the market growth rate is used as its growth rate to estimate the market size. At the same time, considering that the global epidemic has begun to ease with the popularization of vaccines, so the overseas growth of clean home appliances will gradually slow down, we expect overseas clean home appliances to grow by 20%/15%/10% year-on-year in 21/22/23.

Domestic market space: different from the mature markets in Europe and the United States, the overall penetration rate of clean home appliances is relatively low, the clean home appliances represented by traditional vacuum cleaners have not completed education for the domestic market, so the market is more likely to accept the user education of emerging products, and with the rise of clean home appliances driven by the epidemic, once the consumption habits of the market are formed, it is easy to form the user mind, thereby further strengthening the market share of related products.

3.2. The kinetic energy of the power tool market is switched, and the overall growth of the market is stable

Power tools have maintained high shipments due to their high penetration rate and low value and easy-to-consume product attributes. From 2017 to 2019, the power tool market has been expanding, and the main driving factors are the continuous expansion of the application range of power tools in the industry and the increasing demand for DIY in household scenarios. Overall, China's power tool industry has maintained a high growth rate in the past 5 years, with an average annual compound growth rate of 14.19%.

Competitive advantage: based on technology to create high-quality products, and downstream leaders to carry out in-depth cooperation 5. Horizontal comparison: the company's profitability is better among comparable companies 6. Performance forecasts

From the perspective of downstream demand, the power tool market can be subdivided into domestic markets and overseas markets. From the perspective of the domestic market, benefiting from domestic economic growth, the market growth is stable. In 2020, the market suffered from the impact of the epidemic, and the construction progress in the field of real estate decoration in the main downstream application scenarios was slow, and the market is expected to pick up as the epidemic gradually eases. Overseas demand In the short term, in 2020, benefiting from the growth of home DIY demand brought about by the overseas epidemic blockade and the ease of the international trade situation of overseas construction difficulties, the growth rate of China's power tools exports has increased. In the long run, market demand will still return to normal and maintain stable growth.

The global power tool market is divided into two markets: domestic and foreign. Since the development of the entire power tool market is relatively mature, so its price as a whole remains stable, we assume that the price of power tools at home and abroad in the next three years will be consistent with recent years, according to the average price of the first three years.

From the perspective of overseas markets, due to the impact of the overseas epidemic, on the one hand, the consumption of overseas engineering and production power tools has been impacted; on the other hand, European and American countries have a strong DIY atmosphere, so the demand for consumer power tools has increased significantly. Therefore, we assume that the growth of overseas demand for power tools will remain at a high level in the next two years. At the same time, with the easing of the epidemic and the decline in consumer demand, the demand for engineering tools will rebound.

From the perspective of export sales, the overall export of power tools in China is relatively stable relative to the demand of overseas markets, roughly between 1/3-1/2 in overseas markets. In the next three years, taking into account the trend of gradually easing the epidemic situation overseas, it is predicted that the growth rate of exports will gradually slow down in the future.

From the perspective of domestic sales, China's overall market demand has grown rapidly, the annual growth rate in the past two years has remained above 10%, the domestic DIY atmosphere is lighter, and power tools are mainly based on production and decoration tools. Due to the better control of the domestic epidemic and the weak impact of the epidemic on production, we have reason to believe that the demand for domestic power tools in the future is less likely to have an impact, and the market growth will remain stable.

3.3. Lightweight + new energy two-wheel drive, automotive cast aluminum parts space is vast

With the rapid growth of the national economy, the automotive industry has developed by leaps and bounds. In the past two years, affected by the economic situation at home and abroad, China's automobile production and sales have declined slightly, but the base is relatively high, and the scale of new production and sales each year still maintains a high level. As of the end of August 2021, the number of vehicles in the country reached 296 million units, an increase of 8.15% over the same period last year. In 2020, although the first half of the year was hit by the epidemic and the entire automobile market was cold, from the perspective of annual sales, the national sales volume was 25.2676 million units, down 1.89% year-on-year, curbing the market decline. In the first half of 2021, the auto market rebounded out of the V-shape, and the national automobile sales volume was 12.8785 million units, an increase of 25.89% year-on-year.

Competitive advantage: based on technology to create high-quality products, and downstream leaders to carry out in-depth cooperation 5. Horizontal comparison: the company's profitability is better among comparable companies 6. Performance forecasts

The relevant national policies to help the development of the automotive industry, the automotive industry still has a good space for development: China has introduced a number of policies to promote automobile consumption, which is expected to effectively stimulate the domestic automobile consumption market, which has an important role in boosting the automotive industry and its upstream and downstream industries.

From the perspective of the passenger car market, sales in the first half of 2021 were 9.9941 million units, an increase of 27.37% year-on-year. In the first half of 2021, China's new energy vehicle sales reached 1.194 million units, an increase of 223.27% over the same period last year.

On the one hand, due to environmental protection requirements and factors such as industrial curve overtaking, China's policy resources are obviously biased towards the field of new energy vehicles. In October 2020, the Standing Committee of the State Council passed the "New Energy Vehicle Development Plan 2021-2035" compiled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, proposing that "by 2025, new energy vehicle sales will account for 25% of total vehicle sales, and by 2030, new energy vehicles will form a competitive advantage in the market, with sales accounting for 40% of the total sales of vehicles in that year", and the strong support of the policy will promote the further expansion of the new energy vehicle market scale. On the other hand, the maturity of new energy-related technologies and industries and the abundance of models are also important factors in the rising penetration rate of new energy vehicles.

From a global perspective, under the improvement of the contradiction between energy supply and demand, the strict standards of governments for energy-saving and new energy vehicle fuel consumption are effectively promoted by automobile lightweighting, and countries have raised fuel consumption standards. Countries have issued standard regulations for fuel consumption in passenger cars in 2020 and the future to promote the development of energy-saving technologies for automobiles. At the same time, China's clear phased lightweight goals have also laid the foundation for automobile lightweighting.
