Consumer Tech News (Mar 17-Mar 21): Google To Acquire Wiz, US Bans DeepSeek, Nvidia Does Big Revealation At GTC 2025 Event & More

Once a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36719920/roomba-maker-irobot-struggles-with-potential-eu-rejection-of-amazon-acquisition-and-falling-sales-an">potential acquisition target</a> for Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), iRobot Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRBT#NASDAQ">IRBT</a>) — the maker of Roomba — is now playing catch-up to hold its ground against Chinese competitors.
What Happened: iRobot, the company behind the iconic Roomba vacuum, is facing mounting pressure from Chinese tech manufacturers such as Roborock, Ecovacs, Xiaomi Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), and Dreame Technology, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/China-tech/Chinese-robot-vacuums-leave-Roomba-in-the-dust-with-arms-and-legs">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.
Once considered the undisputed leader in the robot vacuum market, iRobot's global market share has dropped from 35% in 2015 to just 22% in 2023, according to Euromonitor.

Beijing-based Roborock unveiled a new robot vacuum at CES 2025 featuring an AI-powered arm capable of picking up objects weighing up to 300 grams. The vacuum can recognize 108 objects out of the box, with room to program 50 more via app.
In Japan, where Roomba holds a 70% market share, Chinese rivals are rapidly gaining ground. Ecovacs is undercutting Roomba by nearly 30% with comparable features, while Xiaomi is preparing to launch robot vacuums in its new retail stores.

Why It's Important: On Wednesday, it reported a 44% year-over-year <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44274332/why-consumer-robot-maker-irobots-stocks-are-plunging-today">drop in fourth-quarter sales</a>, totaling $172.03 million, surpassing the analyst consensus forecast of $171.00 million.
The company revealed significant uncertainty about its ability to sustain operations for at least 12 months following the release of its consolidated 2024 financial statements.
Due to these circumstances, it has canceled the fourth-quarter earnings call that was set for March 12, 2025, and is refraining from issuing a financial outlook for 2025 at this time.
Price Action: IRBT shares surged 21.11% on Friday, closing at $3.70. However, they dipped 0.27% in after-hours trading at the time of writing. Year-to-date, the stock has declined 53.46%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
