The head of the Department of Consumption Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce provided an interpretation of the relevant content of the Action Plan. I. Background of the introduction Home consumption has a large scale, covers a wide range of fields, and has a long industrial chain. It is an important part of household consumption and also an important area for combining improving people's livelihood with promoting consumption. In recent years, with the accelerated iterative upgrading of technology and the continuous improvement of residents' demand for a higher quality of life, smart homes have developed rapidly, and market penetration has continued to increase. The outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" clearly proposes to enrich smart home scenarios, promote the application of new smart products, formulate smart home interoperability standards, and support aging-appropriate renovation and intelligent upgrading of old housing. In order to implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adapt to the consumption needs of different groups and expand high-quality supply, the Ministry of Commerce, together with relevant departments, carried out special research, organized symposiums to extensively listen to opinions and suggestions, conducted field investigations in multiple places, studied and drafted the Action Plan, and issued it recently. II. Main content The Action Plan adheres to a goal-oriented and problem-oriented approach. In response to the growth points and existing bottlenecks and obstacles in smart home consumption, it proposes seven measures, including expanding high-quality smart home supply, improving the smart home standards system, and optimizing community convenience services, with emphasis on the following four aspects: First, adhere to coordinated efforts on both the supply and demand sides. The Action Plan proposes encouraging manufacturing enterprises to strengthen research and development of smart home products; supporting home furnishing stores, shopping centers and others in setting up smart home experience centers, whole-house smart and digital home model rooms; guiding financial institutions to increase loan support for smart home consumption and actively support consumers in purchasing smart home-related products. Second, create a diversified and integrated ecosystem. In response to bottlenecks in smart home interoperability, the Action Plan clearly states that it is necessary to improve the intelligent grading evaluation standards system for smart home products, accelerate the formulation and implementation of mandatory national standards such as smart home interoperability, and accelerate the integrated development of whole-house smart systems. Third, provide precise services for different groups. Centering on the differentiated needs of consumers, the Action Plan clearly states that it is necessary to accelerate the cultivation of a number of large home decoration enterprises and platforms, launch personalized and diversified decoration packages, and vigorously develop customized, order-based, and appointment-based services; guide enterprises to implement aging-appropriate design and enrich the supply of aging-appropriate smart homes. Fourth, open up the convenience service chain. Focusing on the inconvenience of supporting services in the home furnishing and home decoration sector, the Action Plan proposes guiding all localities to set up waste home furnishing recycling points in a scientific and reasonable manner, encouraging enterprises to provide services such as "delivering new products + collecting old ones" and "Internet + recycling"; supporting the establishment of comprehensive home renewal service stations in qualified subdistricts and communities, and integrating various convenience and benefit services. Next, the Ministry of Commerce will work with relevant departments to implement all work measures in detail, promote the early implementation and effectiveness of relevant policies, bring more smart home products into ordinary households, and better meet the people's needs for a better life.
