What sets OSUNO apart is that we not only handle R&D and manufacturing but also assist clients in obtaining international product certifications as required, such as CE, FCC, UL, RoHS, and more. This enables our partners to quickly bring their own branded smart lock products to market, ensuring quality and meeting all export standards.
Smart Lock Trends and the Role of ODM
In recent years, smart locks have evolved from a niche product into a common device in hotels, offices, and high-end apartments. The smart home trend has driven a growing demand for convenient, high-security devices.
According to a Statista report, the global smart lock market is projected to reach over $8 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of over 20%. This presents significant opportunities but also puts pressure on brands to launch products faster, optimize costs, and still meet international standards.
In this context, the ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) model has become a strategic choice. Instead of investing in their own research and building factories, brands can collaborate with a reputable ODM partner like OSUNO to immediately access a line of custom-designed smart lock products that meet global standards and are ready for export.
What is Smart Lock ODM? How is it Different from OEM?
To understand why ODM is important for the smart lock industry, let’s quickly compare the two common manufacturing models:
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): The manufacturer only produces goods based on a pre-existing design provided by the client. The brand retains full responsibility for design and R&D.
- ODM (Original Design Manufacturing): A manufacturer like OSUNO handles everything from design, research, and technology development to production and testing. The partner only needs to provide an idea and a target market.
For complex products like smart locks—where hardware, software, security technology, and aesthetics must be seamlessly integrated—ODM is superior to OEM in the following ways:
- Saves on R&D costs and technical personnel.
- Shortens the time-to-market for new products.
- Ensures international quality through established testing processes.
- Provides exclusive designs for the brand.
