2018 was a highly unusual year in China's economic development history, with the US-China trade war, economic downturn, capped online traffic growth, and an aging population intensifying uncertainty in the external market environment. At the same time, changes in the broader environment have significantly reduced liquidity in China's capital markets, leading to financing difficulties, capital chain ruptures, and widespread closures and defaults among internet companies. Returning to the industry, after rapid growth from 2013 to 2017, FMCG B2B officially entered a deep-water zone in 2018, with some poorly managed platforms closing down continuously last year.

Regarding Mengniu's takeover of Shengmu, I disagree with the notion of 'rescue' or 'salvation.' The capital market is always about interests, not chivalry.

This trend gives hope to Mengniu-affiliated companies like Saikexing, Zhongding, and Tianmu, but they need strategic adjustments to attract Mengniu and secure a good price.

New DistributionHeavyweight: Inventory of China's Community Group Buying Platforms in 2018!
2018 was undoubtedly a special year in China's economic development history. Drastic changes in the internal and external environment made capital more cautious towards various business models, and with stricter regulation, the industry entered a reshuffling period faster.

乳业专业优质媒体Behind the Allegations of Financial Fraud at Hengan Group: Abnormal Sanitary Napkin Profitability, Difficult Tissue Paper Earnings, and Declining Diaper Performance
The short-selling incident targeting Hengan International continues to escalate. As the leading sanitary napkin manufacturer in China, Hengan International's brands Space 7 and Anerle both rank among the top ten sanitary napkin brands. However, in recent years, the company's sanitary napkin business has seen slowing growth and eroding market share.

Meanwhile, Hengan International's tissue paper business (Xinxiangyin, Pinno) has seen declining profitability, with gross and net margins far below those of C&S Paper and Vinda International; the diaper business has also been declining, falling out of the top three in market share.
