Following China's 'Double Reduction' policy, household education spending has shifted toward smart hardware. iFlytek's 2026 interim report showed a 104% year-over-year increase in AI learning tablet revenue and a 116% increase in gross profit (based on listed company periodic reports), leveraging nearly 2,000 retail stores for experiential conversion. Squirrel Ai disclosed a profit margin of 30%-40% per learning tablet (based on promotional materials, not independently verified). New Oriental has completed the first phase of deployment for its self-developed AI personalized learning platform, while learning tablet penetration in Chinese households stands at only 5%-6%.
