Qualitative Analysis
Business overview

Operating under an "Equipment + Consumables" business model, Viomi develops and sells AI-enabled drinking water products, including smart water purification systems, water heaters, smart water kettles, and replacement water filters. The company maintains a deep strategic relationship with Xiaomi Corporation, which is a major shareholder and historically accounted for a significant portion of Viomi's sales.
