What is BabyTech?
BabyTech is a generic term that refers to a category of smart devices and IT services that support pregnancy expectancy, childbirth, and infant rearing.
The "BabyTech" genre began at CES in 2016 and gained recognition in 2018 with the establishment of a floor in the category. There are many startups and crowdfunding in the U.S. and Europe.
In Japan, the "BabyTech Award Japan 2019" hosted by our company was held in 2019, and awareness of the term and the market has begun to spread, with NHK reporting that "2021 is the first year of BabyTech" and other comments expanding awareness in the childcare and nursery industry. The general public is gradually becoming more aware of BabyTech, as evidenced by the fact that Akachan Honpo, a major retailer of baby products, will begin to set up a permanent BabyTech sales stand in the spring of 2022.
In addition, baby tech businesses are attracting attention from both startups and large corporations, with securities firms holding baby tech seminars for institutional investors, and baby tech companies raising large-scale funding.
Baby tech base
As mentioned above, "BabyTech" is defined as technological products and services that support and accompany the pregnant woman during pregnancy, postpartum, and child-rearing life, as well as all the accompanying housework, work, and lifestyle.
Among them, those using advanced technologies represented by AI, IoT, etc. are positioned as advanced BabyTech.
We believe that this is a very significant first step to help consumers envision and adopt child-rearing with technology by positioning appliances and Internet services that help with housework and lifestyle while raising children as the gateway to BabyTech.
