Summary of Key Points Core Viewpoint - The overall lottery sales in China for the first quarter of 2025 showed a slight decline of 0.6% year-on-year, primarily driven by a significant drop in instant lottery sales, while the growth in sports betting lottery sales provided some support to the overall figures [2][3].

Market Dynamics - The decline in lottery sales is attributed to several factors, including a long-term shortage of instant lottery tickets, which has affected the sustainability of new lottery shops [3][4]. - Increased competition among lottery shops has been noted, with the distance between shops reducing from 300 meters to 150 meters, leading to intensified competition in certain areas [4]. - The expert indicated that the perception of sales decline due to ticket shortages is not entirely accurate, as the core issue lies in the supply of instant lottery tickets [4]. Supply Chain Issues - Instant lottery ticket shortages have directly impacted the revenue of lottery shops, with some shops reporting that instant lottery sales account for a significant portion of their total sales [5]. - For instance, one shop reported that 58% of its monthly sales came from instant lottery tickets, but the supply was insufficient to meet demand [5]. - The supply of instant lottery tickets is prioritized for experience centers, leaving traditional shops with limited allocations [5]. Consumer Behavior - The purchasing power of consumers is also a critical factor affecting lottery sales, as a decline in consumer income leads to reduced spending on lottery tickets [6]. - The expert noted that while the number of lottery buyers has remained stable, the average spending per customer has decreased, indicating a shift in consumer behavior [5][6].
