CES 2025 Recap: Top 10 Product Launches

This year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) brought together over 141,000 attendees and more than 4,500 exhibitors in Las Vegas, showcasing the latest innovations in tech. For Sprout, CES is always an exciting opportunity to explore new trends, forge connections, and fuel the creativity that drives our work. This year marked our 21st time attending the event, and it didn’t disappoint.

CES 2025 served as a platform for groundbreaking ideas and products that are shaping the future. For us, it was a chance to immerse ourselves in the cutting-edge of technology and to continue refining our own design approach. This year’s event set the stage for what promises to be an inspiring and action-packed show season.

For the second year in a row, Sprout co-sponsored KeyShot Designer Night, and it was undeniably the highlight of the trip! With over 250 attendees, the event was buzzing with creativity, insightful conversations, and invaluable networking. We are already looking ahead to next year’s event!

From AI breakthroughs to next-gen consumer tech, CES is always a whirlwind of inspiration and innovation. Here’s a look at 10 product launches that caught our attention this year:

Nvidia stole the spotlight with a series of AI-driven announcements, including the debut of Project Digits, a “personal AI supercomputer” designed for AI researchers, data scientists and students. But the real showstopper was the unveiling of Cosmos, the foundational AI model that enables robots and autonomous vehicles to better understand the physical world. Referred to as “the ChatGPT moment for robotics,” Cosmos was hailed as a game-changer in AI technology, earning the coveted title of Best of Show at CES 2025.

LG impressed with their massive, transparent OLED screens, offering a glimpse into the future of home entertainment.

XPeng unveiled the world’s first modular flying car, dubbed the ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’ – and it has already pulled in thousands of orders. The modular flying car is set to be the world’s first mass-produced vehicle of its type.

Withings presented a conceptual product called Omnia, an AI-powered, full-length, smart mirror capable of providing a full health assessment. The mirror captures a 360-degree body scan and determines your weight, heart, and lung health. It can even take an electrocardiogram.

Honda unveiled the latest EV in its 0 Series – a midsized SUV prototype dubbed the 0 SUV. Zeekr brought a few vehicles to CES, including the Zeekr RT robotaxi. This is a purpose-built electric taxi from the ground up, and it utilizes 13 cameras, four LiDAR units, six radar units, and external audio that all collect information in real time.

Kubota came to CES with a sprawling display filled with electric equipment, hydrogen gensets, and an onslaught of commercial robots ready to mow, farm, dig, and build. KATR, Kubota’s four-wheeled all terrain multifunctional robot won Best of Innovation at the show.

BioLite introduced Backup, a sleek and compact battery system designed to provide up to 60 hours of instant, automatic backup power for essential home appliances like refrigerators during outages. Gradient showcased its All-Weather 120V Window Heat Pump, an energy-efficient solution capable of both heating and cooling spaces without obstructing windows.

Asus launched multiple new laptops across its various ranges but one particular model really stood out – the Zenbook. Weighing under 1 kg, it features a full Ceraluminum chassis, combining durability with a sleek design. The Zenbook offers impressive battery life, exceeding 29 hours on a single charge. Asus also prioritized sustainability by incorporating recycled materials and enhancing energy efficiency.

Roborock unveiled the Saros Z70, a groundbreaking robotic vacuum featuring the OmniGrip—a foldable five-axis mechanical arm. This innovation enables the Saros Z70 to move obstacles, such as socks and small toys, out of its cleaning path. The arm is equipped with precision sensors and a camera, allowing it to identify and interact with various household items. Despite its advanced capabilities, the Saros Z70 maintains an ultra-slim design at just 7.98 cm in height.

Singapore-based startup Flint showcased its innovative paper-based battery technology, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Constructed from natural materials like cellulose, zinc, and manganese, these batteries are fully compostable and biodegradable, decomposing within six weeks when buried in soil. Their lightweight and flexible design makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to electric vehicles.

We also have to give a shout out to THE coolest art exhibit at CES: the Rubik’s Cube art installation in the Hisense booth, by @thecollegecuber_.

We attended a few other great parties, including the Seacomp Happy Hour and the Founders + Friends gathering, where we connected with old friends and made new ones. And to top it all off, we got to see Lil Jon perform at the Raiders Stadium – a fun, unforgettable experience!

Show season is just getting started. We’ll be back in Vegas next month for the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS)!
