Abstract

Based on the background of digital product innovation, this paper studies how user needs drive digital product innovation and development in the automotive industry. By analyzing three core user need characteristics — functional, emotional, and security needs — this paper explores three innovation strategy implementation paths: personalized customization, intelligent interaction, and ecological services. Using Volvo's Advanced Air Cleaner air purification system as a case study, this paper validates how innovation practices driven by user health needs enhance product differentiation advantages and user satisfaction, forming market competitiveness.
