Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the detrimental effects of "involution" competition across various industries, leading to price wars, reduced profit margins, and increased quality and safety risks. It emphasizes the need for a unified national market to promote high-quality development in enterprises and industries [1][3][7]. Group 1: Industry Challenges - The washing detergent industry is facing severe competition from low-quality products with less than 5% active ingredient content, which are capturing market share through low pricing, putting quality products at a disadvantage [1]. - "Involution" competition is characterized by irrational competition due to market mechanism failures, where companies resort to price wars instead of leveraging differentiation or technological advantages, resulting in "increased production without increased revenue" [2]. - Various industries, including steel, photovoltaics, automotive, and catering, are experiencing similar challenges due to intense price competition, leading to a consensus among over 20 industry associations to advocate for "anti-involution" measures [3]. Group 2: Solutions and Strategies - To enhance market efficiency, it is essential to eliminate barriers to fair competition, which is a key aspect of building a unified national market. This will help stabilize the commercial ecosystem and address supply-demand imbalances [3]. - Companies are encouraged to abandon the outdated "scale-first" mentality and focus on creating value through quality products and strong brands. For instance, China Resources Beer closed 40 factories and reduced over 5 million tons of redundant capacity to focus on value creation [3]. - Innovation is crucial for traditional manufacturing to break free from path dependence and scale bottlenecks. Companies like Weiqiao Venture Group are collaborating with research institutions and adopting new technologies to transform their business models [4]. Group 3: Brand and Market Positioning - In a market characterized by information asymmetry, low-quality products often mislead consumers, necessitating a shift towards rebuilding trust in "quality for price" mechanisms and enhancing user experience and brand value [5]. - The home appliance industry has maintained a relatively rational approach due to years of system development, with a shift in market power from companies to consumers, who now seek personalized and emotionally resonant experiences [5]. - Companies like Hisense are witnessing a reversal in consumer behavior, with domestic brands gaining recognition for quality, indicating a shift towards "Chinese manufacturing" being associated with technological premium [5]. Group 4: Global Expansion - The construction of a unified national market is not a closed "internal cycle" but an open market that encourages both domestic and international engagement. Companies are urged to expand globally to alleviate domestic competition pressures and enhance competitiveness [6]. - Jack Technology has entered a global leadership phase, establishing production bases tailored to regional markets, while Miniso emphasizes cultural integration in its global strategy, showcasing the importance of local insights in international expansion [6]. Group 5: Future Outlook - Building a unified national market aims to create fairer, more efficient, and more valuable competition. Companies must focus on innovation, brand strength, and global presence to escape internal strife and contribute to China's high-quality economic development [7].
