2024年开始，广东的烧烤老板们集体emo了。 不是因为外卖抽成，不是因为客流下滑，而是因为一个他们完全没想到的对手——湖南烧烤。 图｜来源网络 这玩意儿就像开了挂一样在华南地区疯狂复制，深圳、广州、东莞、佛山，到处都是。 有多离谱？ 我一个在广州开东北烧烤的朋友，去年营收还不错，今年直接腰斩。 他跟我说："半年时间，我们店周围开了5家湖南烧烤，我的客人全跑了。" 然后他去隔壁湖南烧烤店吃了一顿，回来就麻了。 为啥？ 因为他发现自己输得太彻底了。 不是输在价格，不是输在位置，而是输在人家玩的根本不是同一个游戏。 更恐怖的是，这帮家伙现在开始北上了。 天津有个叫"冰城串吧"的店，东北烧烤的架子，湖南烧烤的玩法，没到周末几乎天天排队100多号。 01 图｜来源网络 所以现在很多餐饮老板都在传：2025年，湖南烧烤要彻底杀疯了。 但问题来了。 东北烧烤、四川烧烤、徐州烧烤、淄博烧烤，这些老玩家还在卷生卷死呢。 凭什么湖南烧烤能杀出来？ 02 传统烧烤是怎么玩的？ 东北烧烤：大串大肉大腰子，油脂爆棚，一口下去全是脂肪的快乐。 四川烧烤：辣椒面疯狂撒，辣到你舌头麻木，辣到你怀疑人生。 徐州烧烤：羊肉孜然盐，烤到焦香四溢 ...

Current Market Diagnosis - The current decline in the Chinese piano market is attributed to a "perfect storm" of four factors: demographic changes, policy adjustments, economic cycles, and consumer preferences, indicating a profound structural transformation rather than a simple cyclical adjustment [1] - A significant long-term factor is the sharp decline in birth rates, with China's newborn population dropping from 17.86 million in 2016 to 9.02 million in 2023, nearly halving over seven years. This will lead to a drastic reduction in the traditional target demographic for pianos (children aged 6-12) over the next 5-10 years, fundamentally capping the market [1] Policy and Consumer Behavior - The "Double Reduction" policy has led to a more than 90% reduction in academic training, but the anticipated benefits for arts education have not fully materialized. Data from the China Household Finance Survey indicates that while education spending remains high, it is shifting from "academic training" to "quality education," competing for limited family budgets [2] Economic Environment - The macroeconomic environment is under pressure, with the growth rate of retail sales of consumer goods slowing and per capita disposable income growth also decelerating. Consumer confidence indices have shown fluctuations, impacting the sales of pianos, which are considered non-essential durable goods with significant price tags [3] Market Dynamics - The stock market for pianos is facing challenges from the influx of second-hand pianos, with over 8 million pianos estimated to be in circulation as of 2021. The annual flow of second-hand pianos due to discontinued lessons is increasingly affecting the market for new pianos. The Japan Musical Instruments Association reports that the export of second-hand pianos to China has remained at tens of thousands annually, significantly impacting the mid-to-low-end new piano market [4] Signs of Market Bottoming - The market "bottoming" does not imply a rebound in sales but rather the completion of supply-side clearing and the establishment of a new, lower supply-demand equilibrium [6] - Indicators to observe include the completion of supply-side clearing, with data from the China Musical Instruments Association showing a 10.6% year-on-year decline in revenue for large-scale musical instrument companies in 2023 and a 20.3% drop in total profits. The industry concentration (CR10) continues to rise as many small manufacturers exit the market [7] - The pricing system is stabilizing, with new piano prices having undergone multiple rounds of reductions, creating a reasonable gap with second-hand piano prices and reducing the intensity of price wars. It is anticipated that this bottoming process will continue until 2025, with a potential stabilization of annual sales around 200,000 units, compared to historical peaks of over 400,000 units, reflecting a "real demand" level [8] Future Outlook - The future of the market lies not in waiting for a reversal of the macro environment but in seeking internal value through thorough "value reconstruction" and "model innovation" [9]
