8月过后4大“降价潮”来了！除了房子，这三样东西也要跳水了

Group 1: Real Estate Market - The domestic housing market has entered a downward trend since 2022, with average national housing prices dropping over 30% from their peak, and some cities experiencing declines exceeding 60% [3][4] - Factors contributing to the long-term decline in housing prices include an oversupply of housing, with 120 million vacant units available, and a decreasing demand from younger generations due to an aging population [3][4] - Many cities have housing prices that are detached from local residents' incomes, indicating a potential return to more reasonable price levels [4] Group 2: Automotive Market - The automotive market is experiencing a price reduction trend, with domestic mid-range cars seeing price cuts of 20,000-30,000 yuan and foreign luxury brands reducing prices by nearly 90,000 yuan [6] - The decline in car prices is driven by an oversupply in the market, with both fuel and new energy vehicles competing for market share [6][7] - The stagnation or decline in middle-class incomes has led to reduced demand for vehicle upgrades, further intensifying the price competition among automotive brands [7] Group 3: Small Appliances Market - The small appliances sector is undergoing a long-term adjustment, with significant price reductions for products like rice cookers and air fryers, which have seen prices drop from several thousand yuan to one or two thousand yuan [9] - The rapid technological advancements in the small appliances industry lead to frequent new product launches, causing older models to be discounted [9] - A slowdown in income growth has resulted in decreased demand for small appliances, while e-commerce and live-streaming sales are driving prices below market rates, forcing traditional retailers to follow suit [9] Group 4: Pork Market - Pork prices have significantly decreased, dropping from 35-40 yuan per jin in 2020 to 16-17 yuan per jin currently, indicating a price halving [11] - The decline in pork prices is attributed to an oversupply in the market due to increased participation in pig farming, as well as a shift in consumer preference towards lower-fat meats [11]
