Core Viewpoint - The white liquor market is experiencing a shift from being a social tool to becoming a "lifestyle companion," with mid-to-high-end liquor consumption increasingly focused on self-enjoyment rather than social occasions [3][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The consumption structure of white liquor is changing, with traditional dining and self-drinking scenarios gaining share, aligning with the "self-enjoyment" trend [4]. - High-end liquor prices have recently decreased due to a decline in social demand and increased supply, allowing brands to cater to a broader customer base [5]. - The core social function of high-end liquor remains intact, but the proportion of self-enjoyment is expected to gradually increase from 10-20% [5][6]. Group 2: Brand and Consumer Behavior - White liquor's competitive edge lies in brand recognition and consumer loyalty rather than product iteration, as emotional value in social settings is paramount [6][7]. - High-end liquor brands maintain a significant portion of their sales from business banquets (60-70%), with gifting and collection also contributing [8][9]. - Regional brand strength influences consumption patterns, with local brands often having higher gifting ratios in their core markets [9][10]. Group 3: Pricing and Economic Factors - The pricing of white liquor is cyclical, influenced by economic conditions and supply strategies, with premium brands likely to maintain scarcity to enhance brand value [11][12]. - The trend of lower alcohol content in liquor is unlikely to transform it into a mass-market beverage like cola, as the consumer experience and value proposition differ significantly [11][12]. Group 4: Sales Channels and Trends - Instant retail services are impacting the distribution of mid-to-low-end liquor, while high-end liquor remains less affected due to authenticity concerns [15][16]. - The importance of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day as peak seasons for liquor sales is declining, with a shift towards experiences over gatherings [18][19].
