6. Mainstream AI hardware lacks a blockbuster, while AI toys have already sold out.
Tesla’s Optimus Gen2 robot mini toy (1:10 scale) sold out in 24 hours, with resale prices reaching $1,300. ByteDance’s AI companion doll “Xianyanbao” also saw resale prices rise to RMB 500. AI toys are emerging as a promising consumer AI segment, mainly targeting children by incorporating large language models for companionship and interaction. “Xianyanbao” features Volcano Engine’s AI technology with bilingual conversation capability, though without multi-turn dialogue support. The global toy market reached $183 billion in 2023, with AI toys projected to hit $35.11 billion by 2030. China’s supply chain advantage and the niche market nature give startups opportunities to capture market share.
