The household audio-visual equipment manufacturing industry can be classified into two major markets: household video equipment manufacturing and household audio equipment manufacturing. Specifically, household video equipment manufacturing refers to the production of complete sets and components of household video devices such as television sets, VCRs, camcorders, laser disc players, and others. On the other hand, household audio equipment manufacturing specifically involves the manufacturing of household audio devices including wireless radios, tape recorders, record players, and similar audio equipment.

With the rapid advancement of technology in recent years, the audio-visual equipment manufacturing industry has witnessed an increasing pace of upgrading and replacement. Digital audio products pursue high quality, portability, and technological innovation, while video playback products are gradually moving towards high-definition, digitization, and smart features. Additionally, the industry has placed higher demands on safety, environmental sustainability, battery life, and power consumption. Currently, the audio-visual equipment manufacturing industry is evolving towards a new direction, focusing on digitalization, networking, intelligence, and multi-functionality.

At present, the Chinese mainland has emerged as one of the world’s largest production bases for audio-visual equipment products. The industry in China comprises numerous manufacturing enterprises, with most of them being small and medium-sized businesses. The sector is mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta region and the Yangtze River Delta region, with Guangdong province hosting the majority of these small and medium-sized enterprises.
