Improvement of downstream demand
Influenced by COVID-19, online education and home office have become two important trends. Under the background of online education, students' demand for smart pens has increased. Smart pens meet the characteristics of electronic storage of students' notes, and are convenient and convenient to store with the increasing popularity of e-learning devices. In addition, the recording function of the electronic pen can effectively improve the learning efficiency and help students to review and review more conveniently after class. Smart pens are convenient for business people to write records on different occasions. The storage and search function of smart pens can also effectively improve office efficiency.
Affect the normal operation of smart pen industry
The raging COVID-19 plunged the global economic environment into depression. The influence of COVID-19 on the downstream industry of smart pens will involve all the main links and entities in the industrial chain. The management efficiency of the company declined, commuting was severely hindered, the production plan was blocked, and the company's development strategy and marketing methods were forced to adjust. In addition, during the period of COVID-19, the logistics speed slowed down or even suspended, and the supply of electronic components and shell materials related to smart pen production was tight. The production of the company is limited to some extent, and the production of related enterprises in the hardest hit areas is greatly affected. Short-term epidemic has little impact on raw material supply of enterprises, mainly consuming inventory materials, while long-term epidemic will cause great losses to smart pen manufacturers. If the epidemic develops further, the logistics is always unsatisfactory. Small and medium-sized smart pen enterprises are likely to shut down due to insufficient supply of raw materials, and even large enterprises will face the same problems.
Technical progress
Even in the information age, there are still many consumers who love handwriting. Especially in the aspect of wisdom education, when technologies such as electromagnetic writing recognition, infrared dot matrix recognition and ultrasonic recognition are integrated into writing, the types of intelligent writing pens and the functions of products are continuously expanded. With the development of electromagnetic system, the smart pen has more life span, better durability against falling and less restrictions on the use of paper. The development of software and application programs related to smart pens also provides favorable factors for the more convenient application of smart pens. The integration of more modules such as smart pen processor, display screen, microphone and camera provides more additional functions for the product.
limitations on use
The development time of smart pen technology is limited, and there are still many factors that restrict consumers' use in the use process. The use cost is too high, and the smart pen is much more expensive than the ordinary one. What ordinary consumers can accept is the smart pen product with relatively lower price. The application is insufficient and the use environment is single, so the application scenarios of smart paper-pen interaction need to be continuously expanded. Because the quality of writing digital notes depends on the handwriting quality of users. In addition, smart pens are usually much heavier than ordinary pens, which makes them uncomfortable to write for a long time. The design of smart pen products is scientific, and the richness of application scenarios needs to be further expanded.
