2026-04-26 companies

Xiamen, Saturday, 25 April 2026.
By securing mandatory European safety approvals this April, Chinese manufacturer LEELEN is leveraging its 30-million-strong domestic user base to aggressively expand its smart home technology into global markets.

The Strategic Value of CE Certification

Scheduled for a formal announcement on April 26, 2026, Xiamen-based LEELEN has confirmed that its latest generation of smart hubs and integrated system components have achieved CE certification [2]. This regulatory milestone acts as a mandatory “passport” for the European Economic Area, verifying that the hardware meets strict health, safety, and environmental protection standards [1][2][4]. For elite manufacturers, this certification is widely considered the gold standard, drawing a distinct line between mass-market producers and premium entities capable of supporting complex, AI-driven smart city infrastructure [4].

Scaling Up for Global Demand

LEELEN’s push into Europe and the Middle East is backed by substantial domestic infrastructure. Founded in 1992, the company operates a massive 460,000 m² industrial campus in Xiamen, China, supported by over ten specialized subsidiaries, 37 branch offices, and a network of more than 200 service stations [2][3][4]. Within its home market, LEELEN controls a market share exceeding 20% and serves a user base of over 30 million individuals [2][3][4]. The firm has also transitioned from a traditional manufacturer to the lead organization for international building intercom standards and the chief editor of national smart home standards in China, deploying its self-developed TP-bus technology across more than 40,000 smart districts [1][2][3].

Capturing a Multi-Billion Dollar Market

The timing of LEELEN’s European certification aligns with a projected surge in global demand for integrated security and home automation. The global video intercom system market was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2033 [5]. This represents an anticipated overall growth of 77.143 percent over that nine-year span, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2026 to 2033 [5]. The market’s expansion is heavily driven by urbanization, rising security concerns, and the integration of emerging technologies like edge computing and biometric authentication [5].
