In 2025, the offline channel strengthened further, growing 3.1% YoY and expanding its share from 37.8% to 40.7%, while the online channel declined 8.4% YoY. The online contraction was largely driven by a steep 22.7% YoY drop in smartwatch shipments, with earwear showing a relatively softer 3.2% decline. In contrast, offline earwear recorded 9.4% YoY growth, supported by stronger retail traction, although offline smartwatch shipments fell 10.5% YoY, highlighting a gradual shift toward offline retail channel penetration for stock push.
