At IFA Berlin, Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH, highlighted that Chinese firms now dominate global consumer electronics innovation, a shift from Japan’s past leadership. He noted that nearly 900 of the 2,000 exhibitors—about 38% of the space—are Chinese, including Xiaomi’s first IFA appearance and new products from Dreame, Haier, and others. Lindner praised China’s rapid product development, especially in robotics, citing Unitree and Agibot’s AI‑powered humanoid robots showcased in a new demo area. He argued the trend reflects industry evolution rather than a change in IFA’s focus.
