Ai-driven health revolution sparks consumer and industry growth

The AI+ health industry is growing rapidly, driven by Ant Afu's 'Scientific Weight Loss of 100 Million Catties' campaign. By September 10, 2026, 2.75 million users had logged in for 75 days, collectively losing over 5 million catties (2,500 tons). Ant Afu's user base reached 150 million, with body fat scale sales exceeding 3 million units since the campaign's launch. Huawei, Xiaomi, and Yu Yue have integrated their devices with Afu's platform. Industry leaders like Han Wei of Lek and Gong Yuansong of Huawei highlight AI's role in personalized health management, predicting it will become foundational infrastructure. Ant Afu launched the 'Health Management Ecosystem Plan,' collaborating with smart hardware, healthy food, and sports nutrition companies. Yan Hengli of Taobao Supermarket noted health food's long-term potential, with a double-digit annual growth rate over three years. Yu Caihao of Yu Yue Medical emphasized AI's ability to transform health data into behavior change. The 'AI + hardware + service' model is expanding, with health sub-sectors showing impressive growth. In 2025, intelligent health monitoring equipment sales rose 41.6% year-on-year, while health consultation services grew 11.7%. Ma Defu of Peking University noted the 'Healthy China 2030' plan aims to double the health service industry's scale, from 8 trillion yuan in 2020 to 16 trillion yuan by 2030.
