According to the "2018-2023 China Massage Equipment Industry Market Prospects and Investment Opportunities Research Report" published by the China Business Research Institute, the growth rate of the domestic massage equipment industry was in decline between 2013 to 2016, but from 2016 to 2018, growth rates have continued to rise, and the size of the domestic massage appliance industry is expected to reach 12.7 billion in 2018.

SIMCom 4G module helps MOMODA to independently develop shared massage chairs
Regarding shared massage chairs, the operating platform incorporates both self-operated and third-party components. The former supports profitable operations based on self-produced chairs, while the latter supports marketing of commercially available massage chairs based on the strategic cooperation with manufacturers. The MOMODA shared massage chairs exhibited at MWCA2018 are self-operated.
