有人说，中年人看不懂泡泡玛特，就像年轻人看不懂酱香白酒。然而，这面看似密不透风的时代 之墙，正在被资本用另一种方式跨越。 本着"不了解年轻人的喜好，就去买了解年轻人喜好的公司"的黄金法则，无论是2025年开年便贡献了现象级 IPO的积木品牌布鲁可，还是红杉与腾讯坐镇的卡牌企业卡游，抑或是万达电影与儒意星辰联合投资的 52TOYS，均被资本市场寄予厚望。随着泡泡玛特股价持续飙涨，市值站上3000亿港元，潮玩掀起的资本狂欢 给投资者带来了惊喜。 由于身处年代的不同、经济环境的差异，产品的代际鸿沟无可避免，但把限量款白酒当作收藏臻品的中年人， 和那些在泡泡玛特店里狂抽MOLLY隐藏款盲盒的年轻人，心态上可能并没有本质的区别。 正视年轻群体的消费潜力，拥抱新潮流也就成为了市场共识。如贵州茅台采取了"白酒+X"的策略，从冰淇淋 到酱香拿铁，再到酒心巧克力，不断突破传统白酒的消费场景限制。百年老店全聚德积极推动落实"年轻化战 略"，打造"萌宝星厨"团队，让年轻人认识、了解、支持全聚德。周大生发力年轻消费市场，联名商品"黄金上 上签"成功命中年轻人的情感需求，上架即成爆款。 传统企业积极求变，主动向年轻消费群体靠拢，这是大 ...

今年盲盒赛道的热度很高：布鲁可上市，卡游提交上市申请、泡泡玛特的一季度业绩很好，股价再创新 高。我们小圈子也讨论了很多，简单地整理一下，汇总成文： 一、如何理解盲盒？ 一些机构研报是把三家公司分别定义的：布鲁可是拼搭角色类玩具的国内龙头企业，全球第三；卡游是 国内唯一的卡牌龙头；泡泡玛特是全球最大的潮玩运营商。如果抛开推票的需求，其实大可不必如此， 太多的概念反而会掩盖本质。我们的观点很简单：布鲁可、卡游、泡泡玛特都可以归类为盲盒运营商， 只是内容物有所差别。因此研究它们，首先要说清楚盲盒这件事情。 关于盲盒，比较主流的定义：起源于日本20世纪80年代的福袋，消费者不能提前得知玩具盒子里的具体 产品款式，具有随机属性，只有打开才会知道自己抽到什么。因为有一些赌运气的成分，可以刺激用户 重复购买。这种解释更偏向于用户的维度，从企业经营的角度，盲盒更偏向于概率的一种商业化应用 在实验中，由于我们固定了产品和配货比例这两个关键变量，因此销售结果的变化，必然与盲盒模式 （变量3）息息相关。即套上盲盒，售价69元，品牌整体收入要远高于常规的可选式销售，这是一个值 得深思的问题。通过分析，我们认为背后是产品价值结构的重构 ...
