Furthermore, the PortaSplit’s heat exchange system enables whole-room cooling without venting air out, maintaining constant air pressure and improving cooling performance. improving cooling performance and maintaining constant air pressure. PortaSplit is able to cool a room down in simply 15 minutes. Based on typical weather patterns in Germany, the estimated running cost is only €26 per month for the complete cooling season.

Energy saving is another crucial aspect of the design of PortaSplit. Midea’s improved AI algorithms provide up to 15% additional energy savings. It ensures a continuous and efficient cooling experience by adjusting performance according to the changing environmental conditions and enhanced predictive models.

Additionally, the PortaSplit includes the Air Magic+ technology, which purifies the air by emitting negative ions and reducing the spread of bacteria and viruses. This added layer of protection underscores Midea’s commitment to user well-being and health.

Lastly, PortaSplit was engineered with advanced soundproofing technology, allowing the air conditioner to operate at a mere 39dB in silent mode. This ensures restful sleep while maintaining optimal comfort.

Midea’s PortaSplit is a game-changer in the world of smart home appliances. Its innovative design, portability, and energy-efficient features, and wining the Global Product Technical Innovation Award, have made it a true testament to Midea’s dedication to innovation and improved user experience.

From the integration of digital tools in workplaces to the proliferation of digital platforms in everyday life, it is easy to assume that awareness of digitalisation is widespread. Yet, the survey data underscores a notable gap in understanding among individuals, regardless of their age group. The survey also unearthed several key findings:

  • Awareness of Digitalisation: The survey indicated that less than half of the respondents were familiar with the term. Notably, a significant proportion of Gen Y respondents (45%) were unfamiliar with the concept. However, all generations indicated positive sentiments towards adopting digital transformation.
  • Company Readiness and Support in Upskilling: Most respondents believed their companies were prepared for digitalisation, with over 55% sharing this sentiment. Gen Z, often considered digital natives, exhibited the highest confidence at 63%. More than half of respondents felt supported by their companies to upskill. However, at least two-thirds across all demographics believed that Singaporean companies could still do more to help and embrace digitalisation.
  • Preferred Initiatives: While external training and time off work to upgrade were popular choices across the board, Gen X and Baby Boomers preferred the latter, with 41% choosing this option.
  • Responsibility for Digitalisation: Opinions on whether a specific department should helm digitalisation efforts were divided across generations. However, more respondents leaned towards a dedicated department for digitalisation. Gen X and Baby Boomers leaned towards the government (30%) and IT (29%) taking the lead, while Gen Y leaned towards IT (33%). A sizeable minority believed it should be a collective responsibility (21%). Gen Z favoured IT leadership (39%) and a government role (26%).
  • Familiarity with Upskilling Platforms: SkillsFuture emerged as the most recognised upskilling platform, familiar to over 73% of respondents in all three demographics. Workforce Singapore also garnered significant recognition. However, Gen X and Baby Boomers favoured Udemy and Microsoft Learn, while Gen Y and Gen Z preferred platforms like Grab and Microsoft Learn.

This study offers a comprehensive view of Singaporean workers’ evolving perceptions of digitalisation, equipping employers and job seekers with insights to navigate the digital age confidently. By understanding the perspectives of various generations, businesses can foster a cohesive working environment that adapts to the changing landscape of technology.

Mr. Kenji Naito, Group CEO of Reeracoen, shared, “Digitalisation is a defining force reshaping industries and economies. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transformation, prompting businesses to reimagine operations and embrace technology. To remain relevant, companies must invest in upskilling and foster a culture of continuous learning.”

Empowering businesses to retain and attract talent adeptly is at the core of Reeracoen’s mission, and this study is an essential step toward achieving that objective. Through these insights, Reeracoen hopes to contribute to creating an enhanced working environment for employees nationwide.

Consumer demand for CYBEX products remained very strong, resulting in record high half year revenue and operating profit. The growth momentum was primarily driven by very strong brand position, innovative product portfolio, and continuous expansion of its global omni-channel distribution network. In particular, the successful launch of its e-commerce platform in Europe and the United States has played a significant role in driving this growth. CYBEX has consistently outperformed market players, gaining market share in key markets, reinforcing its global leading position as the premium “technical-lifestyle” brand.

Despite the impact from destocking by major retailers in the United States, Evenflo continued to outperform the competition and expand its market share in the key US market through growth in digital channels, strong consumer acceptance of its innovative products, elevated product portfolio and brand image. The brand also recorded promising momentum in its gross margin evolution, driven by a successfully improved product mix and input costs decrease.

Outlook

Looking ahead, CYBEX will continue its global growth strategy across all key geographical regions and further increase its market share with an innovative product portfolio, new product launches, category extensions, e-commerce platforms and expansion of national distribution platforms in new geographic territories. Conscious cost control measures, combined with the stabilization of key supply chain costs, will continue to improve profitability. The gb brand will further right-size and transform its business to provide a strong focus on profitability and maintain positive cash flow. It will continue its brand upgrade, further development of social media-based owned channels, complete the reformation of its wholesale distribution channel, and focus on product innovation, technologies and new product launches, which will establish the foundation for profitability improvement. Evenflo will continue to launch new and more profitable products and gain new business from major retailers, as the brand is recognized for its commitment to overall brand enhancement and product innovation. The improved product mix and stabilization of supply chain costs will continue to contribute to the brand’s gross margin development.

Mr. Tongyou LIU, CEO of Goodbaby International said, “Despite facing macro challenges, the Group has demonstrated strong resilience and achieved favorable performance in the first half of 2023. We maintain cautious optimism for the rest of the year, considering potential headwinds such as retailer and customer destocking in certain markets, weaker consumer sentiment and slow economic recovery globally. However, by leveraging the Group’s one-dragon vertically integrated platform of own diversified brands, globally balanced omni-channel distribution platforms, and own manufacturing and operational services, we are confident in our ability to continue gaining market share and sustaining global competitiveness. Furthermore, the Group is well-equipped to navigate through macro uncertainties and drive long-term, profitable growth.”
