The beverage market is witnessing a surge in market position certifications, with brands from quasi-first-tier to second- and third-tier, and from billion-yuan blockbusters to million-yuan niche products, all vying for 'No.1' or 'first' labels. Industry insiders note that nearly every day, several products announce such certifications, with thousands of companies obtaining them in 2024 alone. The trend, driven by intense competition and the need for differentiation, has both supporters and critics, with questions about its authenticity and long-term value.

New DistributionLightning Warehouses Change, Brands Panic
On October 31, Taobao Flash Purchase launched 'Taobao Convenience Stores', marking a shift in instant retail competition from traffic to supply. Brands must now focus on controllable supply, moving from 'goods suppliers' to 'brand service providers' to win in the new warehouse-store system.

刘春雄Retail is Phasing Out a Batch of Brands
Over the past six months, a consensus has emerged on the front lines of the market: it's getting harder for brands. New retail players are expanding their private label (PB) offerings, top brands are increasingly manufacturing for retailers, some distributors are refusing to stock goods due to price inversions, and many mid-tier brands are being squeezed off shelves.
任文青Andy90% of Brands Still Don't Understand Instant Retail
Over the past two years, instant retail has become the most unavoidable term for FMCG industry practitioners. However, behind this seemingly lively wave, an awkward reality is that the vast majority of brands don't know what they are doing. They treat instant retail as food delivery, view advertising as transactions, and see platforms as traffic sources. As a result, budgets are burned, sales remain stagnant, and internal debates persist over which department should own it.
汪海Third Discussion on 'Marketing in the Next Century': One-Way Value Proposition vs. Scenario Interaction Creating Value
Value creation is the biggest unsolvable bug in a century of modern marketing. When I saw 'scenario interaction, co-creating value' in Zhang Ruimin's statement that 'scenarios cover products, ecosystems cover industries,' I saw the soul of scenarios in marketing. This soul fully endows scenarios with immense value in marketing. In the last century, marketing's value formation was internally created (with a hint of shutting the door and building the cart) and one-way communicated. In the next century, marketing's value formation will be scenario interaction, value consensus, and the integration of value creation and communication.

Miniso founder Ye Guofu has announced a major reform plan to close and reopen 80% of its stores over the next two years, transforming them into larger IP-themed spaces and shifting from a low-cost retailer to a cultural creative brand. This move aims to capture growth in China's IP licensing market but carries significant risks, including potential loss of price-sensitive customers and operational challenges.

于城Revisiting 'Marketing in the Next Century': User Marketing vs. Scenario Marketing
This article discusses the concept of 'cross-cycle growth' and defines the marketing of the last century as 'user marketing' centered on user needs via mass media, while the next century's marketing is defined as 'scenario marketing' centered on scenario jobs-to-be-done via internet self-media. It argues that scenario marketing, with its concrete tasks and interactive value creation, is better suited to the new media environment than traditional user marketing.
刘春雄Where P&G Can't Win, Chinese Brands Have Triumphed
On August 12, Le Comfort submitted its prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a main board listing. On October 16, the China Securities Regulatory Commission confirmed its overseas listing, and according to investment bank sources, the company will list on November 10. This marks the first time this sanitary pad brand expanding in Africa has entered the public eye through capital markets. While few Chinese local FMCG companies achieve double-digit annual growth today, Le Comfort has grown at a compound annual rate of about 20% in recent years, and its parent company Senda Group has exceeded 30%, with a scale of nearly 20 billion RMB.

胡一鸣Private Labels Are Phasing Out a Group of Retailers
In 2025, private labels are booming, with nearly all national and regional retail chains trying them out for fear of falling behind. However, a comment by teacher Liu Chunxiong highlights a key to success: whether the retailer's brand power can endorse its private label. The key to success lies in the retailer's brand trust and its ability to leverage advantages like direct consumer data and supply chain control.
张振宇Who Is 'Remaking' Nestlé?
As the global consumer market enters a phase of stagnant competition, the food and beverage industry is undergoing deep adjustments. Consumer preferences are shifting from big brands and standardized products toward functional, health-oriented, and localized options, rendering the old scale-driven growth model ineffective. In this context, Nestlé's business performance is under pressure, with fluctuating sales and slowing growth in major segments, leading to a mass layoff plan of 16,000 employees. The layoffs are just the surface; the real signal is that a century-old company is at a crossroads of redefining its growth strategy.

杨玉琳Resigning for 41 Days, Zong Fuli Restarts Wahaha
In just over forty days, Zong Fuli appears to have made a comeback. Although she has not explicitly returned to the core management of Wahaha Group, she has sent a key signal to distributors through her controlled Hongsheng system: the "Wahaha" brand will continue to be used in 2026. According to Yicai, a Shandong Wahaha distributor confirmed receiving a notice from Hongsheng sales staff, requiring distributors to pay deposits to continue selling "Wahaha" brand products in 2026. This reversal comes just over a month after she resigned as group chairman and legal representative due to a trademark dispute, and after Hongsheng's high-profile announcement to promote "Wa Xiaozong".
New DistributionBrand Owners Can No Longer Resist Low Prices!
The retail industry is undergoing dramatic changes, with price competition intensifying both online and offline.

袁来Without 'Controllable Supply', Brands Will Miss Out on Instant Retail
This year, the retail change that has most unsettled FMCG manufacturers is 'instant retail'. A dealer from a fifth-tier city found that instant retail has already taken 10% of his business, while a post-90s dealer grew from zero to 80 million yuan in one year by shifting focus. Brands must prioritize 'controllable supply' to seize the deterministic growth opportunities of instant retail.
任文青AndyWhy Does This Seasoning Win Collective Favor from Channels, Retailers, and Media? The Secret to Shanhaixian's Success Lies in These Four Dimensions
At the 19th RISE China Food Industry Growth Star Ceremony, Xianzhihui Shanhaixian won the 'Annual Category Coordinate Award'. More noteworthy than the award is that it has attracted strong attention from channels and retailers from R&D to market launch, with authoritative media like Xinhua Net and vertical food industry media such as Tiaoliaojia, Shiye Toutiao, and Xin Tiaowei all competing to report on it. Behind this multi-party recognition lies the logic of breaking through the condiment industry and profound insights into consumption trends. In the era of 'ingredient anxiety', it has perfected 'natural umami enhancement'...
New DistributionChina Open Concludes: Kunlun Mountain Wins Not Just the Court, but the Market
After three weeks of intense competition, the 2025 China Open concluded in Beijing, setting new records with over 360,000 on-site spectators and multiple trending topics. As a long-time observer of the FMCG industry, New Distribution notes that Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water, the platinum sponsor and official designated drinking water for the event, has been deeply involved for nine years, providing hydration support throughout the tournament. While sports marketing is not new for FMCG brands, sustaining a partnership with a single event for nine years and doing it thoroughly is no easy feat.
AsherScene Marketing Takes the Stage, Taking Over from Deep Distribution
Deep distribution, proposed in 2000, has influenced Chinese marketing for over 20 years but is now ending. Scene marketing, with its single-wheel dual-drive mechanism, is set to take over and rebuild marketing momentum.
