CES 2023 in Las Vegas is a Show with a Purpose

Traveling around the United States and Europe this fall, it’s been amazing and gratifying to see the excitement building around CES 2023. So many of you are thrilled to be back in Las Vegas and enjoying the one-of-a-kind, five sense experience that is CES. And what an experience it will be! With over two million square feet of exhibit space, CES 2023 is over 50% larger than CES 2022. It includes huge global brands and some 1000 new businesses from around the globe in Eureka Park, our home for startups.

It’s particularly exciting because CES 2023 will be a show with a purpose. We’re partnering with the UN and the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) to showcase how tech is supporting human securities –or as we typically call them, human rights. That means the right to healthcare, food, clean air and water, personal safety, political and community involvement and more. You’ll see that theme play out in exhibits on the show floor, as well as in new Human Security for All (HS4A) Innovation Awards – given to companies for products that promise to improve lives and make our world a better place.

The #HS4A theme will also inspire remarks by many of our keynote speakers, like AMD’s Dr. Lisa Su, outlining her vision for how high-performance and adaptive computing transforms lives, and John Deere’s John May – our first ever ag tech keynoter – sharing how technology can help feed a growing world. They’ll join a phenomenal lineup of headline speakers including BMW’s Oliver Zipse, Delta’s Ed Bastian, Nasdaq’s Adena T. Friedman, and Stellantis’ Carlos Tavares, part of our

lineup of more than 750 speakers across more than 200 conference sessions.

While the show itself will run from January 5-8, expect big headlines even before CES 2023 opens to the public. That’s because Media Days (Jan 3-4) will feature press conferences – the perfect place to launch new products – with big brands like Samsung, LG, and Panasonic. Media Days will also feature the official media preview event of CES, Unveiled Las Vegas, which offers access to exhibitor product innovations and CTA’s highly anticipated annual market research presentation, Tech Trends to Watch.

Speaking of trends, CES 2023 will spotlight some exciting areas of growth in the tech world. That includes our transportation and mobility area in the sold-out West Hall. Nearly 300 automotive brands – our biggest automotive event to date – will showcase the latest innovations in mobility, electric and autonomous vehicles, hardware and accessories. Through our digital health exhibits, you can discover the tools and technologies lowering costs, improving health equity and saving lives. And after a year of buzz, we’ve created a whole new category to showcase Web3 and Metaverse – featuring technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency. While you’ll see those technologies across the show floor, they have a new home in Central Hall.

This January, you’ll also see the latest innovations in areas like smart home, entertainment, food tech, gaming and e-sports, robotics, AI and more! Visit www.ces.tech to discover what’s in store and to sign up for CES news and industry insights.

CES 2023 Unveiled: From Human Security to New Technology

BY STEWART WOLPIN

CES is usually all about innovation. The focus at CES 2023, however, will be on something more: innovation with a purpose. At CES Unveiled in midNovember in New York City, CTA President/CEO Gary Shapiro laid out modern rights that CES and consumer technology would address under the Human Security for All rubric.

Conceived by the U.N. in 1994, these Human Se-

curity for All rights, recognize the importance of personal wellbeing and security pillars tied to an individual’s experience in life, including: food, access to health care, personal income, environmental protection, personal safety, community security and political freedom.

“We didn’t create these rights or securities, but we realized they correspond perfectly to parts of CES,

Bastian, Kassan Set for C Space Keynotes

Set for Jan. 5, 2023, at ARIA Resort & Casino, the CES 2023 C Space keynote conversation will feature Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian and MediaLink founder and CEO Michael E. Kassan. The keynote, “Building Connection & Community in a Non-Stop World,” will explore how successful consumer brands are combining technology with ingenuity to engage dedicated followers and create superfans.

The C Space keynote panel features leading figures of the marketing world, including Instacart CMO Laura Jones and Group Black CEO & Co-Founder Travis Montaque, among other guests, who will explore how brands are engaging consumers with increasingly personalized experiences.

“From in-flight experiences to on-demand enter-

tainment and a world of content in between, brands are using creativity, personalization and humanity in equal measure to win customers’ hearts and minds,” Bastian said. “This panel is all about the transformative power of connecting—with ourselves, with each other and with the world we inhabit.

“Delta has transformed travel for the delight of consumers and has set a high bar for brands,” said Kassan. “I look forward to diving into the learnings with Ed, as well as our panel of marketing leaders, and offering the industry some inspiring takeaways.”

Bastian is a familiar face at CES, having delivered the first keynote remarks by an airline executive at CES 2020. Kassan is also a regular participant on the C Space keynote stage.

Innovations in Human Security for All in CES 2023 Spotlight

At CES 2023 the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) is partnering with the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) to showcase the critical role of technology in support of the United Nations efforts to advance human security for all.

CES 2023 will shine a spotlight on how technology helps people tackle the world’s most pressing problems. Human Security for All will be a theme throughout the show, from conference programming to keynotes highlighting innovation and products improving the lives of people around the world.

“Tech innovation gives us the tools to work toward a better world and has always been the catalyst for historic change. We are proud to partner with the World Academy of Art and Science in support of the United Nations,” said Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association. “Now more than ever, people are looking to the tech industry for leadership as we develop creative solutions to the world’s greatest challenges.”

First introduced by the UN in 1994, the concept of human security recognizes the importance of personal wellbeing and lists security pillars tied to an individual’s experience in life, including:

food, access to health care, personal income, environmental protection, personal safety, community security and political freedom. CES 2023 will showcase the latest tech innovations and thought leaders dedicated to addressing these most pressing global challenges. CTA will expand the CES Innovation Awards to incorporate technologies advancing the UN Human Security categories.

“The COVID-19 pandemic, global warming, the high cost of education and the surging food shortages resulting from the war in Ukraine illustrate the importance of developing innovative solutions to the full range of human security issues.” said Garry Jacobs, President, World Academy of Art & Science. “We are proud to be partnering with CTA to promote awareness and action to address the challenges to human security.”

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) also announced the first keynote speaker for CES 2023. John Deere Chairman and CEO John May will join other John Deere executives to share how purpose-driven sustainability and advancements in technology are addressing one of the world’s greatest challenges—feeding a growing global population. This will be the first time in CES history that an agriculture technology company exec-

utive will take the mainstage for a keynote at the show. John Deere first debuted at CES 2019 and has been exhibiting each year since, highlighting the importance of innovation in agriculture.

“The opportunity for technology and sustainability to positively impact the world is most present in agriculture, where farmers continue to be challenged to feed our growing population,” said John May, Chairman and CEO. “John Deere is focused on developing technology with a purpose, to make our customers more efficient and sustainable. The work they do affects every single person and we’re honored to have the opportunity to help tell their story on the mainstage.”

Sustainability, digital health, metaverse, electric vehicles, transportation and mobility will have a commanding presence at the show. CES 2023 will explore the power of technology to revolutionize how people connect, featuring new categories including Web3; using crypto and blockchain to usher in a new digital economy; and remote work tech, exploring how tech is bringing the office into the home to maximize collaboration and creativity.

“Massage chairs may become a household necessity!”

U.S. Jaclean, Inc.

In the postwar era, the three sacred treasures of the American home (television, refrigerator, and washing machine) were once a symbol of affluence, just as they were in Japan, and a coveted commodity in the average American home.

Today, they are common in every home and have become indispensable household items. It has been 40 years since U.S. Jaclean. Inc. introduced the massage chair to the U.S., but in Japan, massage chairs had been sold as health equipment in the electronics department long before that.

In the U.S., we started by importing massage chairs from Japan and introducing them at events. At first, many people looked at us strangely, and some even teasingly tried them out. However, as we continued our demonstrations, people began to appreciate the quality of the product. However, massage chairs were not well known as a household product, and when it came time to buy one, people were reluctant, making business difficult. For the first few years, it was good enough to sell one or two chairs at exhibitions, and the days of unprofitability continued.

Through repeated demonstrations at trade shows, the number of buyers began to increase. Our massage chairs were originally invented in Japan and we imported them from there. Eventually, to avoid Japan’s relatively high labor costs, production was shifted to Taiwan and China.

Massage chairs are now recognized in American society as a health de-

vice that incorporates concepts from both Western science and technology and traditional Eastern medicine. With time, new technologies have been added, and models have been created that incorporate customer feedback and the more detailed concepts of Shiatsu practitioners.

As we continued to sell massage chairs, we conducted extensive research to determine what kind of touch would have a positive effect on the human body, and we arrived at our current model.

There are many massage chairs available in the U.S. today, but we recommend that you choose a massage chair that is based on the concepts of massage experts. Daiwa massage chairs have led the massage chair industry by incorporating the concept of improving health through Shiatsu therapy and the latest technologies in health equipment.

There are two main types of massage chairs: S- type and L-type. The human back curves lightly in the shape of the letter S. The type that massages according to the curve of the back is called the S type. On the other hand, the L type massages from the back to the buttocks.

The S type has a stretch function that can stretch the entire body in addition to the back massage, while the L type has a stretch function that cannot be incorporated due to its structure. The Daiwa Supreme Hybrid incorporates the functions of both the S and L types by placing these rollers in two separate locations on the back and buttocks. We have introduced it as a hybrid model that is both an L type with a strong

stretching ability. Although the U.S. is now a society of longevity, it is still considered a stress ful society. Interest in health has been growing year by year, and stores selling general merchandise are now filled with a wide variety of health goods.

Massage chairs are gaining recognition in the U.S. and evolving with the times. In the United States, with its forward-thinking spirit, massage chairs will one day become an indispensable product in American society, ahead of their Asian counterparts.

Canon Offers New Hybrid Meeting, Collaboration Solution

BOOTH 16359 Canon’s AMLOS, an acronym of “Activate My Line Of Sight,” is a hybrid meeting and collaboration solution. With only one camera, it can create multiple video streams that present many different views of a meeting—the entire room, the presenter, a whiteboard—or it can zoom in on a specific zone of interest, like a prototype, for example. Which is obviously a great way to open up the room to remote collaborators. But it doesn’t shout “Jedi Master” until you discover that it operates using gesture recognition technology. So, one person makes a gesture and everyone in the room receives a Teams invitation on their mobile device or laptop, and then this can be rapidly extended to remote colleagues. These colleagues will join the meeting through the AMLOS browser user interface, which displays multiple video screens that can change the view to suit the way they wish to engage with the conversation. The speed at which a spontaneous chat can take place is fast enough to give remote colleagues a real sense of being considered and included in that moment. And once they are within AMLOS, whoever is in front of the camera can keep them on top of everything that is happening in the room just with the movement of their hand. Canon’s AMLOS is a CES 2023 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation selection in the Software & Mobile Apps category.

Innovation Helps Brands Upgrade Globally 2022-2023

Global Top Brands Awards

The Global Top Brands Award (GTB), hosted by Asia Digital Group and European Digital Group, and supported by TWICE and International Data Corporation (IDC), has announced winners during the CES. The GTB has showcased global consumer electronics brands to consumers all over the world for the 17th consecutive year to enhance the popularity of major consumer electronics companies in the international market and facilitate the development of the global consumer electronics industry.

With the integration of burgeoning technologies such as 5G, IoT, AI, VR and new display devices with consumer electronics products, iterations are accelerating and new forms keep popping up, so competition in the consumer electronics industry dominated by scientific technological innovation is becoming increasingly fierce.

According to Zhu Dongfang, President of Asia Digital Group, this GTB will evaluate centering on innovation and global strategy of brands to encourage global consumer electronics brands to upgrade technological innovation and create newer and better products. Innovating marketing strategies and brand services from a global perspective will be considered as well to provide consumers with products and services of higher quality in the hyper-competition of the global market that achieve the goal of promoting stable and rapid development of the global

consumer electronics industry.

Since its inception in 2006, the GTB, as one of the most authoritative, professional and credible selection events in the global consumer electronics industry, has been adhering to the principles of authority, science, professionalism, objectivity and impartiality, and has released the most influential list to the world. The GTB has always been committed to hot trends in the global consumer electronics industry to set global models and lead the trend of the industry. A total of seven lists are set up in this GTB, including 2022-2023 Top 10 CE Brands, 2022-2023 Global Top 15 Smart Connected Devices Brands, 2022-2023 Global Top 15 Smart Phone Brands, 2022-2023 Global Top 10 Intelligent Vehicles Brands, 2022-2023 Global Top 10 TV Brands, 2022-2023 Global Top 50 CE Brands and 2022-2023 International Innovation Enterprise Brand Award.

Facing the fast-moving digital age, continuous innovation is the foundation of the development of the consumer electronics industry. Only by constantly innovating and surpassing and exploring unknown areas to reach record highs can we embrace global challenges in a calm manner.

Worldwide smartphone shipments declined 9.7% year over year to 301.9 million units in the third quarter of 2022 (3Q22), according to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC).The drop marks the largest-ever third quarter decline and the fifth consecutive quarter of decline for the smartphone market as shipments continue to struggle amidst weakened global demand and economic uncertainties.

Despite the challenging environment, vendor positioning did not change from last quarter. Samsung held the top spot with a 21.2% share, Apple came in second with a 17.2% share, while Xiaomi came in third with a 13.4% share. vivo and OPPO ended the quarter tied for the fourth position, each with 8.6% share. Except for Apple, all the top vendors suffered year-on-year declines. However, while Samsung and Xiaomi registered single-digit declines, vivo and OPPO continued to suffer high double-digit decreases.

Source by IDC)

From January to June 2022, the TV market recorded a 6 percent decrease in total sales to 31 billion US dollars, compared to the same period of the previous year. Almost all display sizes experienced this decline. Only the very large display sizes continue to show an upward trend, with sales of TVs with screen sizes over 75 inches increasing by 21 percent compared with the first half of 2021.

GLOBAL TV BRANDS

Certain niche products were also able to close the first half of 2022 on a positive note, such as devices with GPU synchronization for a better gaming experience (plus 18 percent growth), or with improved sound systems like DolbyAtmos/DTS:X (plus 54 percent). The new mini-LED screens launched last year remain a niche product with a growing, but still small, sales share of 4.8 percent.

This downturn in product demand has already led to falling prices in some cases – despite inflation and increased expenses within the supply chain. By way of illustration, the average cost of a TV was around 566 US dollars in June 2021 but dropped to 502 US dollars by June 2022. This is particularly visible in mid-range segments that have not seen any significant innovation upgrades or addition of premium features. In June 2022, for example, the price for a 55-inch LCD screen was 11 percent lower than in June 2021. One reason for this is that retailers are increasingly reacting to falling demand by reducing prices: in January to June this year, the proportion of TVs sold at a discount of 10 percent or more stood at 27 percent. In the same period of 2021, it was only 14 percent - although the European Football Championship was taking place at that time, which would have boosted demand. (Source by GfK)

AIR GUARD MINIS

Air Guard Minis will protect the wearer by limiting their exposure to potential harmful particulate (i.e., bacteria, virus, odors). The AirGuard Minis, once inserted into one’s nose, reduce olfactory exposure to unknown pathogens or particulates in the air, thus offering a safer breathing environment. In combination with air filtration, AirGuard Minis will disperse aromas into the wearer’s nasal passage because the sense of smell plays a significant role in the physiological effects on a person’s mood, stress, alertness, and working capacity (i.e. productivity).

CES Unveiled

and that’s why we’ve identified with them,” Shapiro explained. “You’ll hear the keynoters speaking about them, you’ll see we have Innovations Awards based on them,” as well as in conference sessions and in dedicated areas of the show floor. Shapiro noted that CTA is partnering with the World Academy of Arts and Sciences (WAAS) “to tell the story about how some of the world’s challenges are being met through innovation and technology.”

SMALLER SIZE, WIDER SCOPE

CES 2023 will not only embrace a more impactful theme of helping the world address its biggest challenges, it will also be a bit smaller. Currently, there are 2,200 exhibitors signed up, half the number of the last pre-pandemic show, CES 2020. According to Shapiro, the discrepancy is largely the loss of smaller Chinese companies impacted by both Covid restrictions as well as ongoing geopolitical issues. Shapiro did note that there is usually a December exhibitor signup boost “so we really don’t know where we’ll end up.” CTA expects more than 100,000 attendees, still well shy of the 175,000 who came to CES in 2020.

Eureka Park already has more than 1,000 exhibitors and “it could go a tremendous amount higher than that,” Shapiro predicted. Mixed amongst the start-ups at Eureka Park will be 20 country exhibit areas, including Ukraine Tech.

While South Hall will once again remain vacant, the new West Hall is sold out, filled with 300 largely

automotive exhibitors, including actual vehicle manufacturers as well as their supply chain and other partners, along with flying and marine vehicle technology, including amphibious land/sea vehicles.

With fewer booths, CTA has been able to widen aisles and more widely space booths and seating areas to lessen crowding and lower potential interpersonal health risks.

SHOW FLOOR TECH

CES will start as usual with two media days on January 3 and 4. Among the specific tech attendees will see will be technologies encompassing Web3, or Web 3.0, including a dedicated Central Hall space. Web3 includes new and emerging concepts such as blockchain, digital assets and metaverse, and many aspects of CES will deal with how Web3 will impact the way businesses interact with vendors, employees, and customers.

Other specific new and emerging tech categories will include the latest innovations in health and wellness including sleep tech, mental health technology, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, over-thecounter hearing aids, and digital therapeutics, “new and improved ways that folks can really embrace and manage their chronic conditions at home,” explained CTA Director of Research Lesley Rahrbaugh, “and not necessarily always in a caretaking environment or office.”

Other categories that will be highlighted at CES 2023 will be “ingredient” technologies such as 5G, the cloud, AI, sensors, cyber security, sustainability, and robotics, along with AR/VR, gaming and esports, fintech, autonomous vehicles in West Hall, and Food Tech at the Venetian.

Varying aspects of the metaverse will be represented on the show floor. Most of the real-world metaverse products will focus on the enterprise side, such as for corporate and HR training. But expect to see future metaverse tech being demoed that will enable users “to feel the environment around you, to hear the environment around you, to smell the environment around you,” according to Rohrbaugh.

Off the show floor, on January 7, there will be an Indy car auto race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway—except the “drivers” will be teams of university students competing against one another racing autonomous Indy cars traveling at speeds in excess of 190 MPH.

Really off the show floor, if you can’t make it to CES, all the keynotes will be live streamed, as will a wider selection of conference sessions. Access to these recordings will double from 30 to 60 days after the show. Exhibitors will also have a larger tool kit to enable virtual attendees to browse booths, get information, and make contact.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING PREVIEW

Before CES 2023, there’s still the holiday shopping season that will launch with Black Friday, the holiday weekend, and through Cyber Monday. Rohrbaugh presented the findings of CTA surveys about what products and technologies shoppers will be shopping for and expecting to receive.

Rohrbaugh noted that “enthusiasm for purchasing tech is hitting an all-time high,” and that CTA was expecting nearly eight in 10 holiday shoppers, 86 percent of Thanksgiving weekend shoppers, were planning to purchase some sort of tech item on which they would spend an average of $560. Rohrbaugh says 23 percent more consumers plan to shop on Black Friday than last year, 20 percent more on Cyber Monday. How consumers will shop and pay is changing as well; 47 percent are going to shop online before going to stores, and 20 percent will pay using digital systems such as Apple Pay.

First on the planning to purchase list was video streaming services. While not exactly something that can be gift-wrapped in a box, but a video streaming gift subscription was something almost half of U.S. adults this year are planning to buy. Additionally, more than a third of U.S. adults are planning to purchase a content related gift within the general gaming or audio categories, including Spotify or Pandora subscriptions.

Smart home and especially security devices are also high on consumer buying lists, as well as the usual smartphones. This year, however, about 30 percent of smartphone buyers will look at foldable models. Adults want gifts with screens—smartphones, TVs, laptop PCs—but are actually planning to buy a variety of accessories, headphones, earbud, and other more peripheral devices.
