"内卷"不仅危害制造业，其对消费领域的危害同样不容忽视。在"内卷"的环境下，企业为了降低成本， 往往采取低质低价、偷工减料等手段，导致市场上充斥着大量质量不过关的产品。这些产品不仅无法满 足消费者的基本需求，甚至可能对消费者的健康和安全构成威胁。同时，"内卷"还导致了售后服务的缺 失，消费者在购买产品后往往难以享受到应有的售后服务保障，加剧了消费纠纷的发生，这不仅损害了 消费市场的健康规范发展，也阻碍了消费需求释放。 因此，"反内卷"不仅有利于制造业良性发展，更利好消费市场和消费者。只有企业和商家有了合理的利 润空间，才能摆脱低价竞争的恶性循环，实现健康、持续发展。合理的利润是企业进行技术创新、提升 产品品质、完善售后服务的基础。当企业不再为生存而挣扎时，将有更多的资源投入到产品研发和服务 优化上，从而为消费者提供更好的产品和服务。这将形成良性循环，进一步推动消费市场的繁荣和消费 需求的释放。 去年7月，中共中央政治局会议首次提出"防止内卷式恶性竞争"，标志着"反内卷"上升到国家层面。今 年7月份中央财经委第六次会议强调，纵深推进全国统一大市场建设，要聚焦重点难点，依法依规治理 企业低价无序竞争，引导企业提升 ...
