亚马逊已搁置收购iRobot的计划,这可能给该公司带来毁灭性打击。过去十年,与iRobot同类的公司都陷入了困境,包括中国和韩国的公司。现在iRobot的计划包括裁员三分之一,并将非核心工程职能外包以降低成本,这或许只是权宜之计。机器人管理层可能以为通过达成与亚马逊的交易,他们找到了一条轻松又有利可图的出路。当一家公司拥有46%的市场份额却仍面临数千万美元的亏损时,主要问题很可能出在银行的管理层,而不仅仅是市场竞争或监管挑战。机器人管理层可能以为通过达成与亚马逊的交易,他们找到了一条轻松又有利可图的出路。当一家公司拥有46%的市场份额却仍面临数千万美元的亏损时,主要问题很可能出在银行的管理层,而不仅仅是市场竞争或监管挑战。虽然中国企业全力冲刺,但他们却长期坐拥领先优势而无所作为。我认为最大的失败是Braava和自动垃圾桶清空功能,这些本应早该集成到Roomba中,而不是让我们为一台只会一招的虚拟宠物买单。亚马逊提议收购iRobot的交易因监管问题突然暂停。这可能对隐私倡导者来说是一场胜利,但对我们所知的Roomba机器人吸尘器来说却可能是天大的坏消息。欧盟委员会认定该交易违反竞争规则,这对iRobot来说是一个残酷的讽刺,因为交易告吹的同时其竞争对手却仍在营业。iRobot虽是市场领导者,却在激烈的竞争浪潮中苦苦挣扎。它依赖亚马逊注入的现金和资源才能在当今竞争白热化的机器人吸尘器市场中生存。自2014年以来,iRobot占主导地位的市场份额一直在稳步下滑。根据Statista的数据,这一比例已从2016年的64%下降到2020年的46%。这是一个严峻的现实。另请参阅:亚马逊放弃14亿美元收购Roomba制造商iRobot的交易 竞争也在加剧。过去十年,像科沃斯、石头科技和追觅科技这样的中国公司以更低的价格涌入全球市场。三星和美国SharkNinja也参与其中,更不用说亚马逊上几十个公开记录的电商品牌,它们的机器人售价不到200美元,仅为Roborock(1600美元)和Roomba(1400美元)等旗舰产品的一小部分。就价格而言,iRobot显然不占优势。市场很残酷,Neato Robotics去年已倒闭。如今,iRobot报告2022年净亏损,可能需要像亚马逊这样的交易才能生存。与此同时,石头科技、科沃斯和追觅科技一直在创新一站式解决方案,例如集拖地、吸尘、自动倒垃圾、自动补水、排污水、清洁并烘干拖布于一体的机器人,甚至能连接家中水管。这样你几乎无需动手操作机器人吸尘器。一年后,iRobot推出了Combo j9 Plus,它具有自动为拖把加水的功能,但缺乏竞争对手宣扬的许多特性。现在,公司创始人已出局,现金日渐枯竭,投资者正介入。iRobot预计2023年运营亏损高达2.85亿美元。去年,在亚马逊交易完成前,它不得不借款2亿美元,而亚马逊仅因退出交易道歉并支付了9400万美元,因此它必须从其他渠道筹集其余资金,否则面临部分出售的风险。这一绝望的计划包括裁员三分之一、关闭办公室,并通过外包非核心工程功能每年削减2000万美元的研发成本。公司还将放弃空气净化器产品线(公司于2021年收购了Aeris)和Terra机器人割草机(从未在美国上市),这将再次使其在竞争中抢得先机。科沃斯和追觅今年都将首次向美国市场推出机器人割草机,而科沃斯的机器人空气净化器也即将登陆美国市场。如果没有大量的研发投入、创新的新产品和(相对)卓越的软件,随着中国公司的进入并获取更多市场份额,Roomba可能迅速败北。这些公司生产的机器人吸尘器质量好、创新快,但它们也有自身的问题,包括缺乏用户可维修性以及一些隐私担忧。Angle先生本周表示,他相信“iRobot拥有激动人心的未来”。随着基础款机器人吸尘器迅速成为大宗商品,家庭机器人的下一个重大发展是我深感兴奋的一次飞跃。虽然iRobot在我关注的公司名单中名列前茅,但我希望我能对其未来同样乐观。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
