Although small kitchen appliances have now become essential daily items in modern family life, as early as2008, these products were still in the early stages of the consumer market and were considered a relatively niche category for consumers at the time.

At this early stage when the market was not yet mature, a Chinese company identified the potential development opportunity, and used health pots and steamers as its main products to break into the small appliances market. Through continuous market expansion, it eventually grew into a leading brand in this niche sector.

This company is theShenzhen small appliance brandBUYDEEM (Beiding).

Reportedly, the brand's2024 operating revenue reached 587 million yuan, an increase of 11.02% over the same period last year, accounting for 77.84% of the company's total revenue.

Currently,BUYDEEM's product line has successfully entered major overseas markets such as North America, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia, with a sales network covering more than 70 countries and regions worldwide, making it one of the most influential brands in the small appliance industry.

Transformation from OEM to Independent Brand

It is understood thatBUYDEEM is an independent brand under Shenzhen Beiding Technology.

Tracing its development history, the predecessor of this company can be traced back toJinghui Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., founded in 2003. As a global leader in small kitchen appliance manufacturing at the time, Jinghui Technology provided OEM services for international brands such as Whirlpool, Morphy Richards, and Breville, with an annual production capacity of about 4 million units and a global market coverage rate of up to 60%.

In 2008, the outbreak of the global financial crisis became an important opportunity for the company's transformation. Faced with drastic changes in the market environment, the founder adjusted the company's strategic direction from pure OEM production to independent brand building, officially launching the Beiding brand.

In the early stage of transformation, the company focused on the small appliance sector, successively launching health pots, water dispensers, steamers, and other products, gradually opening up the market.

In 2019, Beiding Technology ushered in a major turning point, beginning to enter overseas markets with its independent brand BUYDEEM, establishing a high-end and differentiated market positioning. Centered on the two core concepts of dietary health and quality living, it deeply explored users' actual needs and created a product series with unique value.

In June 2020, with Beiding shares successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's Growth Enterprise Market, the BUYDEEM brand accelerated its global layout, exporting products to Europe, North America, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

In the following years, after continuous development,BUYDEEM has become the most important business growth point for Beiding Technology. Of the company's total annual revenue of 750 million yuan in 2024, the BUYDEEM brand contributed 587 million yuan. Among them, core products such as steamers and health pots continue to be hot sellers in overseas markets, winning the favor of many families.
