Facing Product-Type Decline, How Can Brands Create Super Single Products?
In the FMCG industry, apart from channel and brand strength, is the product itself the core competitiveness of an enterprise? Yes and no. Yes, because some non-first-tier brands have quickly captured leading category positions with their products, while some first-tier brands have seen all efforts wasted due to product issues. No, because the underlying logic is that today's FMCG market will not sustain a brand solely on one super single product; the core competitiveness is not the product itself but the brand's ability to create products. For example, Nongfu Spring's new products are highly likely to lead in their categories, and it is this product creation capability that is the core competitiveness.
