近日，国内知名宠物企业重庆易宠科技有限公司公开指控雀巢（中国）有限公司在合作中存在不当行 为，以高额返利承诺诱导经销商高价压货后，长期拖欠返利款项近1900万元。 易宠科技表示，双方合作基于"先高价进货、后核销返利"模式，返利起初正常兑付，但自2023年第三季 度起雀巢开始拖欠，至今未支付。 雀巢方面曾提出按欠款总额"三折打包"支付的解决方案，被易宠科技拒绝，并称相关承诺系员工私下行 为。目前双方已进入仲裁程序。 值得关注的是，雀巢近年来在全球及中国市场面临多重挑战。 其财报显示，2025年前三季度大中华区业绩持续下滑，有机增长率下降6.1%，对集团增长形成拖累。 同时，雀巢集团正推进全球重组，计划在未来两年裁员约1.6万人，以削减成本、提升效率，并将资源 聚焦于咖啡、宠物护理等核心业务。 此次经销商纠纷发生的背景，是雀巢在华业务持续承压，以及集团整体战略转向追求"以实际内部增长 率拉动增长"。 分析指出，传统食品巨头在渠道碎片化、健康消费转型与本土竞争加剧的多重压力下，正面临深刻的模 式挑战。 此次仲裁案的进展，亦折射出厂商合作模式与渠道信任在行业转型期所经受的考验。 然而，这个模式从诞生之初就内置了一个危 ...
