Dreame Technology is staging a four-day product launch event in San Francisco, described as its largest overseas gathering to date, running this week [1]. The event features notable tech figures including David Patterson, Sylvia Acevedo and Sebastian Thrun [1].
Founded in 2017 by Yu Hao, who studied aerospace engineering at Tsinghua University, Dreame has expanded from producing high-speed digital motors into a wide range of products including appliances, personal care devices, wearables, and even a rocket-powered vehicle concept [1].
The company’s robot vacuums have exceeded 11 million cumulative global sales and lead market share in 30 countries. In 18 of those markets, Dreame holds more than 40% market share [1].
Dreame’s North American sales have surged, with robot vacuums, wet-dry cleaners, cordless stick vacuums and hair dryers more than doubling year on year in the first quarter of 2026 [1]. The brand opened its first physical store in the U.S. in October 2024 and has since expanded to multiple flagship locations [1]. By the fourth quarter of 2025, offline retail accounted for over 20% of Dreame’s North American sales [1]. Globally, the company operates more than 6,500 physical retail locations [1].
Dreame now competes across more than a dozen product categories that include pool cleaners, lawn-mowing robots, hair care devices, automotive powertrains and precision motion systems [1].
The four-day San Francisco event highlights Dreame’s global expansion ambitions with new product debuts and industry speakers. The company aims to further strengthen its position in the U.S. market following rapid sales growth and offline retail expansion [1].
