China's home appliance manufacturing industry has experienced vigorous development from scratch to now and realized changes from low-end to high-end, from single to diverse. After the transformation of a variety of manufacturing industry types, China's home appliance manufacturing industry is in a special period of transformation to high-end intelligence. However, due to the limitation of enterprises' own development, the saturation of current household appliance consumption market tends and the influence of the domestic and foreign market environment, all kinds of problems require the household appliance manufacturing industry in China to carry out production innovation and improve product quality through transformation and upgrading. This paper chooses China's home appliance manufacturing industry as the object of analysis. Current development of China's home appliance manufacturing industry is described first, followed by five stages of development according to the current theory to explain the development achievements, characteristics and ways of each stage. Problems encountered by China's home appliance manufacturing industry are summarized thereafter. Finally, the development of Japanese electrical home appliances manufacturing is compared for its merit. According to the Smile Curve Theory, brand construction, changes in consumer demand, and changes in market environment are suggested for the transformation and upgrading of China's home appliance manufacturing.
