CIPS on-site insights into new trends in the aquarium industry

The China International Pet Aquaculture Exhibition (CIPS), as an important event in the aquarium industry, holds a pivotal position and extensive influence.

Pay attention to fish farming ecology and promote sustainable development

People have started to care about the natural ecology of fish and sustainable aquatic products from only focusing on fish farming itself. Therefore, the "native landscaping" that pays more attention to the natural habitats of fish has emerged in recent years and rapidly developed in China. A group of enterprises and products have also emerged with the concept of "raising fish first, raising water sustainably", such as Baiyinmei aloe vera water quality stabilizer and AC artificial coral bone, both of which are developed with the original intention of "ESG global sustainable development concept", using biological agents instead of chemical agents, and using biomimetic materials instead of wild mining, making it easier, environmentally friendly, and sustainable for consumers to raise fish.

Desktop fish farming, beginner friendly
With the explosive popularity of Xiaomi fish tanks last year, more brands are paying attention to the needs of novice desktop fish farming, and a complete set of intelligent fish tank solutions has become a trend at this year's exhibition. Established aquarium manufacturer Boyu has undergone a significant transformation this year. In addition to exploring new markets for cat and dog smart products, it has also launched a new desktop smart product - Cook Fish Tank, to expand its customer base for beginners, white-collar workers, and female fish farmers. Desktop fish tank products such as Wild Kite, Yumax, and Xiaomei were also showcased. The entry-level audience is the largest group of people in the aquarium industry. Whoever can solve the problem of entry-level fish farming will be the first to reap the benefits of the new aquarium audience. We believe that these brand owners also understand this well.

Integrated central control system, integrated into the home ecosystem
Players who raise large fish or sea tanks face a pain point, as there are so many lighting, water pumps, wave making, temperature control, egg and other equipment that come with many power cords. Opening the bar cabinet is not only unsightly but also carries water and electricity risks. It is not difficult to find at this year's exhibition that many brands such as Mayin and Maiguang have launched fish tank central control systems, which integrate the management of numerous fish tank devices. This not only solves the problem of line management, reduces power supply temperature, isolates water and electricity risks, but also realizes the linkage of multiple fish tank devices, providing imaginative space for highly intelligent fish tank management in the future. At the same time, it also enhances the appearance of fish tanks, with a "PC sea view room host" tone, making fish tank equipment more integrated into the entire home ecology.

Technological innovation leads, aquarium technology revolution
The technological innovation products in the aquarium industry are always eye-catching. Perhaps the technology itself is not fresh, but being able to creatively apply it to the aquarium industry to explore practical value in specific fields is itself an exciting thing. Perhaps the next popular aquarium product will be born from this. There are some highlights in this exhibition: the temperature control equipment, such as the small integrated cold and hot equipment like Earthstar, the external cooling device and cooling plate from Dunyu Technology in Taiwan, China, China have great potential in the future market of small fish tanks and small pet refrigeration equipment; Several companies such as Jiebao and Doghead Shark have launched magnetic wave pumps, which use magnetic power externally connected to the power cord to drive the propeller inside the cylinder, making it both aesthetically pleasing and safe; The "Fish, Water Country" covered membrane filter material brought by the research team from Huazhong Agricultural University combines cultivated nitrifying bacteria with the filter material to quickly solve the problem of digestive system collapse in fish tanks; Guangteyi has launched an underwater camera that can monitor water quality data and remotely monitor the dynamics of fish tanks, providing new ideas for those who want to "fish at work".
