**1. After 33 years on the market, Danone Yili bottled water announces production halt****▲▲▲**
Recently, Danone China Beverages issued a production halt notice stating: "To adapt to rapid changes in the local market and achieve sustainable development, Danone China Beverages has evaluated its business development strategy and decided to adjust its operations, ceasing production and sales of Yili bottled water." It also stated that "the company has decided to officially halt production at the Yili Longmen factory starting January 16, 2019."
Danone Yili's production halt notice
Danone Yili mineral water has been produced since 1986. In 2016, Danone Yili announced a new upgraded packaging, in 2017 launched cartoon bottle children's water, and in December 2018 launched colorful illustrated bottles...
After 33 years on the market, the sudden halt is lamentable. In recent years, Danone Yili has performed well in both product upgrades and marketing innovation. However, as part of Danone China Beverages, compared to the sales of its other major product, Mizone, there is still a gap, and Yili has never captured a significant share of the bottled water market. As can be seen from the notice, the halt of Yili bottled water is related to Danone China Beverages' overall development strategy.
@球球不起球: Indeed, competition in the bottled water market is increasingly fierce, and 2019 will see a tough battle!
