刚上市一年，业绩就"大变脸"，供应链企业的日子似乎越来越难过了。 据财报数据，2023年，田野股份（832023.BJ）实现总营收4.6亿元，同比下降2.33%；净利润3337.81万元，同比下降37.69%。 对此，田野股份表示，净利下降主要原因为下游新茶饮行业增速放缓、竞争加剧，客户价格敏感度提高，其压降毛利率应对市场竞争。 事实上，田野股份的毛利率已经连续3年下滑。从2021年的29.16%到2022年的28.38%，再到2023年的21.68%，总体下滑7.48%。 2023年2月，田野股份在北交所上市，产品包括原料果汁、速冻果蔬、鲜果等，是茶百道、奈雪的茶、一点点和沪上阿姨等品牌的供应商。 随着新茶饮行业增速放缓，品牌之间贴身肉搏加剧，对供应商也提出了更高的要求。尤其是2023年以来，新茶饮品牌纷纷加注供应链，品牌与上游供应商 之间的争夺战已然打响。 在此背景下，与田野股份有着相似境遇的供应商并不少。2023年底，2家新茶饮供应商撤回了上市申请。已经成功上市的供应商，也面临着毛利下滑、业 绩承压的现状。 01 产品售价降低，多家供应商毛利下滑 德馨食品与鲜活饮品在2023年底相继撤回上市申请。 据德 ...

新茶饮知名品牌喜茶近期的"骚"操作算不上少，可要说操作效果，却是喜忧参半。 3月24日，喜茶就与《光与夜之恋》联名活动周边被倒卖一事公布了相关事件的调查进度，宣布已解聘私自泄密员工。紧接着第二天，喜茶就官宣了邀请 著名健身博主帕梅拉·莱孚（Pamela Reif）担任喜茶2024年"健康推荐官"，围绕"轻负担、真健康"，推荐了11款茶饮产品。好事坏事一桩接一桩，给人一种 匆忙又应接不暇的感觉。 相比之下，作为喜茶*竞争对手之一的霸王茶姬，应对"茶饮健康化"时的步调则显得有条不紊。先是为科学控糖推出GI值标识；随后又为新品"醒时春 山"请到刘畊宏叫板喜茶的推广官帕姐。 图源喜茶、霸王茶姬官方微博 这边的喜茶看起来略显慌张，那边的霸王茶姬却是带着几分若有似无的淡定，真相果真如此吗？喜茶的一顿操作猛如虎，为什么效果并不如人意？对抗霸 王茶姬，喜茶反击的胜负手究竟在哪里呢？ 其人之道，还不了其人之身 喜茶一直是新茶饮界的龙头。 出道即*，这样的评价用在喜茶身上并不为过。喜茶是新茶饮界排队买奶茶的领军人物，当年大排长龙、托黄牛100块买一杯的场景曾经轰动朋友圈。 即便是排队的风头逐渐褪去，喜茶依然稳坐全国连锁新茶饮品牌 ...
