1、December 2019 Greater China Consumer nearly all the growth has come from cities. These urban consumers are now the main driver of the Chinese economy, with their spending accounting for more than 60 percent of GDP growth1. And across the globe, Chinese consumer spending represented 31 percent of hou

Western brands used to be the mark of a comfortable,
4、 modern, middle class lifestyle in China. In contrast, shoppers perceived Chinese brands to be of inferior quality and lacking in cachet. In recent years, this has changed dramatically. Instead of focusing on lower priced products, many Chinese players have upgraded the quality, performance, and val
5、ue of their offerings. In our survey, respondents told us they had a clear preference for Chinese brands over foreign ones in 13 out of 19 categories. These include basic items like tissue paper, home cleaning products, milk, and fresh food, as well as products more connected to identity and lifesty
6、le, such as phones, computer tablets, beer, and household appliances like refrigerators. Between 33 and 57 percent of Chinese consumers say they prefer local brands in these categories. (Exhibit 11) New this year is the fact that many consumers are also likely to pick local brands for more expensive
7、 premium products. China is one of the top countries of origin for higher end digital devices, skincare, cosmetics, and red wine. Consumers are even developing a taste for Chinese fashion not generic knock offs but carefully crafted and branded clothes by Chinese designers like Ms Min, Ming Ma and A
8、ngel Chen. These fashion lines now appear alongside top Western brands in Chinas luxury department stores. Outside the luxury market, brands like Icicle have successfully catered to consumers seeking affordable homegrown fashion. Trend 5: High-end Chinese brands are increasingly appealing 15China co

Half of all consumers say 7-Up is a Chinese brand and 49 percent think the same of Yakult drinks, which hail from Japan.

14、spondents. 16China consumer report 2020 17China consumer report 2020 Implications for brands Double down on the Young Free Spenders Until recently, most global brands devoted the bulk of their marketing resources to Chinas largest cities like Shanghai or Beijing. We expect the buying power of Young
15、Free Spenders in lower tier cities to only increase and thus represent a growth engine for a wide range of categories. Companies should spend time understanding who these consumers are and what their key buying factors are, then have a clear plan to reach them. Developing premium and aspirational pr
16、oducts that are going to appeal to these consumers and focusing on the route to market and distribution in lower tier cities will be key. Companies will need to carefully consider their omnichannel strategies1, since many Young Free Spenders enjoy shopping in trendy malls, as well as spending time o
17、nline. In our survey, we found that consumers in tier 3 and 4 cities are more motivated by social engagement and product exclusivity than shoppers in tier 1 and 2 cities. As a result, parties and exhibitions may be more valuable in reaching Young Free Spenders than traditional marketing campaigns. P
18、roduct offers that feel unique to them are also likely to have appeal, as are creative uses of social media. Platforms like WeChat and Douyin (Tik Tok in English) now offer new direct-to-consumer channels or mini-programs that brands can use to influence and engage with consumers and drive sales. We
19、ve seen brands create a variety of programs, including attention-grabbing games and quizzes, one-off opportunities to purchase unique products from online and physical stores, and options for self- designed products or reservations for personalized services. Brands that want to capture the hearts an
20、d minds of Young Free Spenders should embed such social media engagement capabilities into their organizations. Monitor consumers who are “trading off”, especially in higher tier cities Companies will need to decide if their strategy should include Savvy and Frugal consumers as target segments. Toge
21、ther, these two groups comprise 31 percent of the urban population and reside primarily in higher tier cities. Brands that decide to target these consumers could pursue strategic partnerships with ecommerce players such as Pinduoduo, which do an effective job of reaching these segments. These platfo
22、rms can provide insights about and access to Savvy and Frugal consumers without encroaching on a brands more premium positioning and pricing in other channels. Capitalize on the health trend With 72 percent of urban consumers saying they are actively seeking a healthier lifestyle, many brands have a
23、n enormous opportunity to proactively shape perceptions about what it means to be healthy. In the vitamins and supplements category, for example, companies could emphasize their products as herbal and natural and highlight their value in preventative care. In addition to selling products, companies
24、will also want to emphasize how experiential offerings can contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Gym and fitness players, for instance, could upgrade their offerings beyond lessons and classes to include lifestyle elements like juice bars and relaxation lounges. Focusing on the quality of personal trai
25、ners and offering hassle- free experiences (such as online booking for training and classes) are also key factors in boosting enrollment. 72% of survey respondents told us they were actively seeking a healthier lifestyle 1 Source: McKinsey Digital, “China digital consumer trends 2019” 18China consum
26、er report 2020 Create distinct, memorable experiences that will surprise and delight Chinas more sophisticated consumers The fact that many Chinese travelers have grown tired of the standardized approach of large tour groups is further evidence that consumers are seeking not just high value products
27、 or services but novel experiences. Some retail brands have responded by creating immersive experiences for consumers. For example, Lululemon built a fitness and yoga community for consumers that centers on regular classes and large yoga events. Nike personalizes a customers interaction with the bra
28、nd and offers tailored shoes through its Nike by You program. Eyewear company Gentle Monster creates a sense of modern design and contemporary art in its brick-and- mortar stores and holds seasonal themed in-store exhibitions to maintain a sense of freshness. Be smart about how you incorporate Chine
29、se elements into your products Thanks to the governments campaign to boost national pride and the ongoing trade dispute with the U.S., Chinese consumers have plenty of reasons to be patriotic with their spending. Multinational companies should respond to the desire for Chinese products with innovati
30、on, introducing Chinese elements to their products and their branding in ways that feel sophisticated and authentic. For example, LOreal collaborated with the National Museum to offer five limited edition lipsticks that reflect Chinas artistic heritage. Each container features an image inspired by t
31、he classical elegance of five historic Chinese beauties. To allow for this kind of innovation, multinational companies should give greater freedom and flexibility to local teams. Chinese companies should take advantage of this trend by celebrating their Chinese heritage and origin, as this is someth
32、ing Chinese consumers are increasingly craving. Companies should pair this with continuous improvements in quality and desirability to create a value proposition that will be hard to beat. For example, Erdos, the worlds largest maker of cashmere products, is moving into a more premium segment and em
33、phasizing the higher end craftsmanship and design of these products. Conclusion Chinese consumers are responding in distinct ways to the countrys current economic uncertainty and slowing growth. Some continue spending freely and seeking out more expensive options, while others have grown more discer
34、ning and are tightening their belts. But for the large majority of consumers in our survey, there is a consistent story. These consumers remain confident and will collectively represent an economic powerhouse for the foreseeable future. 19China consumer report 2020 Our study combined a comprehensive
35、 survey of Chinese consumers, in-depth research, and observations from our work advising companies in China. The survey was conducted from May to July 2019, and is part of a series of comprehensive surveys of Chinese consumer behavior conducted by McKinsey since 2005. The survey sample included appr
36、oximately 5,400 respondents from 44 cities, representing approximately 90 percent of Chinas GDP and more than half of its population. We conducted online research with respondents, covering consumers general attitudes and purchasing behavior, key trends regarding their consumption patterns and leisu
37、re habits, and attitudes toward life, success, money, and health. The survey included a deep dive into apparel, cosmetics, and fast moving consumer goods categories, including food, personal care, and household products. Our research was supplemented by additional research that McKinsey is conductin
