Sihoo Concludes 2025 Brand Globalization Strategy Conference, Unveils Technology-Driven Vision for a Health-Centered Ergonomic Ecosystem
From Innovation to Impact: Sihoo Launches 2025 Strategy
The summit began with a keynote speech by Sihoo Chairman Luo Huiping, titled “The Health Revolution of a Chair” in his opening remarks, Luo officially introduced Sihoo’s 2025 global brand strategy, marking a new chapter in the company’s international development.
“Sihoo constructs its competitive barriers through product iteration and innovation,” Luo stated. “We are redefining the chair industry with technological strength, and fulfilling our commitment to ‘protecting users’ health through technology’ with ongoing innovation.” This strategic direction reflects Sihoo’s long-term focus on merging ergonomics, engineering, and user-centric design to drive the evolution of healthy seating solutions.
With over 1.5 million ergonomic chairs sold annually and a presence in 85 countries, Sihoo has not only demonstrated remarkable commercial success but has also reshaped global perceptions of Chinese innovation in the health-tech furniture space. Its consistent dominance on major platforms like JD.com, Tmall, and Amazon—where it has ranked first in its category for four consecutive years. At the heart of this momentum is the C300, a flagship product that has led category sales across major e-commerce platforms for multiple consecutive years.
Driving Innovation Through Strategic Investments
Sihoo has invested 12–15% of its annual revenue into R&D, with a team of nearly 100 engineers and experts developing patented seating technologies. From its groundbreaking M18 with multi-dimensional lumbar support to the intelligent T6, which integrates massage, audio, and health monitoring systems, Sihoo has progressed through four generations of innovation. The company is now advancing toward a 5.0 “all-scenario workstation” to deliver comprehensive workplace wellness solutions.
Luo emphasized the importance of offline expansion to support this evolution. Over the past five years, Sihoo has refined a single-store model and opened over 160 experience centers in China. Globally, the brand plans to open 200 new stores in 2025, reinforcing both its physical presence and its health-centric mission: “Every store we open brings us closer to protecting the well-being of more people.”
Sihoo Advances Global Strategy with Local Precision
During the summit, Sihoo’s leadership team presented a comprehensive overview of the company’s strategic roadmap for international growth. General Manager Liu Shuai outlined the brand’s long-term vision, emphasizing Sihoo’s dual commitment to expanding its global presence while deepening its specialization in ergonomic innovation. The company aims to lead across product development, brand influence, and market performance in key international markets.
Building on this foundation, Sihoo’s 2025 strategy reflects a clear evolution from leading in isolated markets to orchestrating coordinated, multi-market growth. This next phase of expansion is underpinned by a business model transformation. Sihoo is evolving from a traditional distributor-led export structure to a hybridized “partner + regional entity” model. This structure enables more agile decision-making, tighter operational alignment, and deeper cultural and market adaptation across regions. It also signals a shift in the nature of Sihoo’s global partnerships—from transactional relationships to integrated, co-invested collaborations that align on long-term value creation.
Sihoo’s global blueprint also integrates data-driven market selection, strategic store placement based on ergonomic awareness maturity, and differentiated product assortments tailored to local consumer profiles. With an infrastructure built for flexibility and supported by consistent branding, Sihoo aims to standardize excellence while allowing space for market-specific innovation.
Chen Zhuo, General Manager for the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America regions, elaborated on Sihoo’s strategic approach to overcoming globalization challenges. . He emphasized that with a consistent annual growth rate of 30%, Sihoo is advancing its positioning as a global leader in ergonomic seating by combining diversified channel development with robust technological innovation.
Chen noted that Sihoo’s flagship product lines continue to gain strong traction among high-end consumers, with brand recognition steadily rising. In 2024, the Doro series experienced year-over-year sales that more than doubled, signaling both growing brand equity and increasing acceptance of premium ergonomic solutions in international markets. As Sihoo expands its global retail presence—with its first overseas flagship store opening in 2023, followed by a second in 2024—the company is achieving balanced growth across both retail and contract sales channels. This integrated, omnichannel strategy is driving comprehensive improvements in Sihoo’s global market performance.
Global Partner Perspectives: Strategic Alignment Through Shared Success
As part of the summit, partners from three key international markets—Australia, Thailand, and the Philippines—joined the event to share practical insights from their collaboration with Sihoo. Their contributions provided firsthand perspectives on how localized execution, combined with Sihoo’s global brand strength, has driven market success.
Together, these insights reveal that Sihoo’s global ambition is powered not only by product strength but by its ability to co-create value with local partners. The depth of collaboration—rooted in strategic alignment, market insight, and shared long-term vision—is what enables the brand to adapt, thrive, and lead in diverse global markets. Recognizing their contributions, Sihoo presented awards to its partners—”Brand Navigator,” “Strategic Guardian,” and “Market Pioneer”—reinforcing a shared commitment to mutual growth and lasting value.
Looking Ahead: Advancing Global Strategy Through Innovation and Partnership
The successful conclusion of the 2025 Brand Globalization Strategy Conference and Overseas Market Customer Appreciation Banquet marked a key milestone in Sihoo’s internationalization journey. The event facilitated in-depth communication between the company and its global partners, showcased its technological leadership, and reinforced its commitment to long-term strategic collaboration. With strong engagement from industry stakeholders and partners across multiple markets, the summit provided a clear affirmation of Sihoo’s global positioning and strategic direction.
At the same time, Sihoo will maintain high investment in R&D and innovation, advancing its transition from hardware manufacturing to integrated intelligent product ecosystems. With a clear strategic roadmap, strong execution capabilities, and trusted international partnerships, Sihoo is positioned to lead the next phase of growth in the global ergonomic industry. Over the long-term horizon, Sihoo will remain focused on delivering value through product innovation, market responsiveness, and ecosystem collaboration—ensuring its solutions continue to meet the evolving needs of global users.Hashtag: #Sihoo

Air Corporate data reveals 9 in 10 founders incorporated in Hong Kong do so remotely, driven by a 20% surge in Middle Eastern entrepreneurs seeking cost-effective operational alternatives to Dubai.
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – Air Corporate registered a 40.5% increase in Hong Kong incorporations in 2025, with the first quarter of 2026 already up 48% year-over-year. This data indicates that Hong Kong is reasserting itself as the leading Asian jurisdiction for company formation, fueled by a new wave of remote founders from the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe.
The prevailing narrative over the past five years suggested that Singapore was eclipsing Hong Kong; however, recent incorporation volumes challenge this. According to city-wide official figures cited by Vivian, Founder of Air Corporate, approximately 195,000 companies were registered in Hong Kong in 2025, compared to around 77,000 in Singapore.
“There was a lot of fuss about Singapore taking over Hong Kong as preferred jurisdiction over the last few years, but for 2025 alone, around 195,000 companies were formed in HK, vs around 77,000 for Singapore,” said Vivian. While city-wide registrations rose roughly 35% in 2025, incorporations at Air Corporate specifically grew by 40.5%. Vivian added, “With a 35% increase in the number of companies registered in 2025, Hong Kong is definitely back in the game as the top jurisdiction to start a company.”
The reality of Hong Kong company formation is increasingly global, lean, and founder-led. Nine in ten founders incorporated in Hong Kong with Air Corporate do not live there.
Key demographic and operational insights from Air Corporate’s client base include:
- Approximately 90% of founders operate remotely from abroad, while 10% or less are based in Hong Kong.
- Entrepreneurs aged 35 to 44 represent the largest age cohort at 38%, demonstrating that Hong Kong attracts founders in their prime career years rather than just younger digital nomads.
- Serial entrepreneurs make up 60% of Air Corporate’s client mix, utilizing Hong Kong as an operational base for multiple companies, while first-time founders account for the remaining 40%.
- A total of 89% of new companies are launched by solo founders (58%) or small teams of two to five individuals (31%).
- Mainland China, Hong Kong, Turkey, India, the UAE, Australia, France, and Morocco rank among the top source markets for these founders.
Furthermore, 73% of new Hong Kong incorporations are directly tied to physical goods trade with China. This consists of e-commerce and dropshipping businesses (38%) and the trading of goods (35%). The recovery of in-person trade flows, including events, such as the Canton Fair and various industrial fairs, is pulling foreign founders back into the Greater China orbit and establishing Hong Kong as the natural entry point and financial layer over the world’s largest manufacturing base.
Air Corporate’s data recorded a 20% year-over-year growth in founders originating from the Middle East. This shift highlights a reverse migration where founders previously incorporated in Dubai are now choosing Hong Kong. Based on Vivian’s observations, founders often arrive in Dubai expecting fast incorporation and low costs, but discover that incorporation and maintenance are significantly more expensive than in Hong Kong, and banking remains difficult. Consequently, many founders move to Hong Kong after 12 to 24 months in the UAE, a trend accelerated by the Hong Kong government’s strategic outreach to the region.
For lean, remote-first businesses, speed-to-market is a critical factor. A founder located anywhere in the world can incorporate in Hong Kong and open a working bank account in approximately 7 days using digital banking partners. Currently, 90% of Air Corporate’s clients utilize these digital banking partners.
“Hong Kong and Singapore are the only places in Asia where you can set up your company, get a corporate account, and be in business in less than a week,” concluded Vivian.
Air Corporate is a service provider facilitating company formation and incorporation in Hong Kong for serial entrepreneurs, first-time founders, and remote-first business owners operating globally.

NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2026 – The 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” took place May 4th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, bringing together leading figures from across the globe for an unforgettable evening. These tastemakers showcased the most classic, refined and distinctive diamond jewelry looks of the season. Below, A Diamond is Forever highlights the standout trends from the event.
Desert diamonds
Desert diamonds emerged as a striking throughline on the Met Gala carpet, with a range of hues in distinctive settings taking focus.
Rihanna led the trend in a pair of exceptionally rare old Moghul Golconda fancy brown-yellow diamond earrings by Glenn Spiro, featuring two pear-shaped natural diamonds totaling 51.9 carats. Doja Cat offset her all nude look with a pair of large Leviev Diamonds floral-shaped earrings while Paloma Elsesser made a statement in a 29.5-carat diamond necklace by Bernard James, centered around a 15-carat fancy light yellow pear-shaped natural diamond. Cara Delevingne wore a De Beers London Forces of Nature High Jewelry ring, featuring marquise yellow diamonds set as eyes, while Emma Chamberlain opted for yellow and white diamond earrings by Chopard, underscoring the continued allure of warm diamond hues.
Magnificent Diamond Earrings
A wide variety of captivating silhouettes defined the natural diamond earrings on the Met Gala carpet. Zoë Kravitz delivered a modern twist with oversized diamond flower earrings by Jessica McCormack. Chase Sui Wonders opted for Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. Sea Fan earrings, bringing an element of sculptural artistry to the look. Gracie Abrams selected gently dangling Chanel earrings, adding understated fluidity, while Connor Storrie selected simple hoop earrings from Tiffany & Co., reinforcing the clean and enduring appeal of natural diamonds.
Standout Diamond Moments
Natural diamonds appeared in personal, unconventional and eye-catching ways, offering moments of surprise and awe. Power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z embodied this trend with Beyoncé wearing Chopard’s Queen of Kalahari necklace, named after the rare 342-carat diamond that provided 23 stones for Chopard’s Garden of Kalahari collection. Jay-Z contributed to the narrative with a vintage diamond brooch by Briony Raymond worn at the collar as an unexpected placement that underscored the piece’s versatility. Isha Ambani made the styling of diamonds an art form in itself, wearing her own diamond jewelry featuring approximately 150 carats of old mine-cut diamonds, including a three-strand necklace and chandelier earrings, while also incorporating diamonds sewn directly into the bodice of her sari to represent significant moments in her life.
Together, these looks highlighted a shift toward natural diamonds as vessels of personal expression, styled with intention, individuality, and a sense of the unexpected.
