Case Study: Huawei Smart Home × P&G Replenishment Ecosystem
Since 2023, P&G has integrated its full range of daily necessities into Huawei’s HarmonyOS smart screens and fridges. When detergent runs low, the fridge screen displays P&G’s official mini-program with one-tap subscription reorder. The program now accounts for 28% of P&G’s total China FMCG e-commerce volume—proving that connected devices are becoming the most powerful point of sale.
Conclusion
China is building the world’s first truly Internet-of-Everything consumer society. Overseas brands that secure native integration across HarmonyOS, in-car OS, and emerging body networks today will own the automatic, invisible purchases of tomorrow.
