New DistributionNew Distribution Zhao Bo: From Scarcity to Abundance to Emotional Consumption, 40 Years of Change in Chinese Consumption
In 1978, the Engel coefficient for urban residents in China was 57.5%, and for rural residents it was as high as 67.7%, indicating that household consumption was primarily food-based. By 2020, the Engel coefficients for urban and rural residents had dropped to 29.2% and 32.7%, respectively, showing a shift in consumption structure from survival-oriented to development-oriented. As incomes rise, consumers not only purchase more goods but also demand higher quality, brand, and experience. This phase of consumption upgrade is particularly evident in the FMCG sector, where consumers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for high-quality, high-value-added products.

New DistributionJapan's Three Distribution Revolutions and China's Three Distribution Revolutions
The concept of "distribution revolution" was first proposed by Japanese scholar Shuji Hayashi in the 1960s. He used it to describe the transformation of the distribution industry through modernization, efficiency improvements, and business model innovations, involving systematic changes in Japan's wholesale and retail sectors. This article systematically reviews Japan's four stages and three revolutions in distribution, and applies the same framework to analyze China's current FMCG market, which is transitioning from a manufacturer-dominated to a retailer-dominated market.
戚特Distributors Won't Disappear, But the Competitive Logic Has Changed
In 2024, the FMCG industry accelerated its reshuffling, and distributors experienced a test of 'two extremes.' Some retreated under the pressure of inventory backlog and sluggish channels, while others broke through by precise positioning, service upgrades, and digital reforms, carving out growth in a stagnant market. As the 'capillaries' connecting brands and terminals, distributors' value has never been weakened, but the competitive logic has shifted—from 'channel dominance in the easy-money era' to 'efficiency dominance in the intensive cultivation era.'
邢仁宝The Distributor's Business Has Fundamentally Changed

葛畅Wahaha, Baixiang, and金星: Old Brands Reborn, Catching the Torrential Traffic
At the November 2024 Wahaha distributor conference, Zong Fuli unveiled her first report card since taking the helm, with revenue of 72.8 billion yuan, matching the scale of a decade ago and achieving an annual growth of over 20 billion yuan compared to 2023's 50 billion yuan, a 47% year-on-year increase. This growth was driven mainly by strong sales of bottled water and AD calcium milk, with bottled water sales up 188% and AD calcium milk up 70%. A one-year growth of 20 billion yuan for a giant brand is unprecedented in China's FMCG history, possibly a peak that will never be surpassed.
方刚Classified Empowerment of Distributors: From "One Size Fits All" to "Precise Measures"
After the Spring Festival, many brand owners claim they will value, be close to, and support their distributors, but these words often remain slogans without concrete action.

This reflects the industry's struggle with shrinking profits and market changes.
何雯Zhao Bo from New Distribution: Where Are the Incremental Opportunities in the Offline Market in 2025?
Recently, several friends from brand companies called me to discuss what opportunities remain in the market next year. I think this topic might interest many, so today I'd like to share my views on where the incremental market opportunities lie in 2025. From a macro perspective, the growth opportunities in 2025 certainly won't be in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou. Breaking down the market, we can still find many structural opportunities. I've summarized these into four growth opportunities: microclimates within the macro environment, new consumption amid major downgrading, new business formats within major channels, and new efficiencies amid major cost reduction.
