Core Viewpoint - Genki Forest is re-entering the low-alcohol beverage market with its new sparkling wine product "Lang," which has an alcohol content of 9 degrees and is packaged in 500ml cans, priced between 12.4 to 13.2 yuan per can [3][5][20]. Group 1: Product Launch and Market Positioning - The "Lang" product features two flavors: grapefruit and lemon, and is positioned to target male consumers and social drinking scenarios, contrasting with RIO's offerings which are more female-oriented [5][6]. - "Lang" is directly competing with RIO's Qiangshuang, which has been a significant revenue driver for its parent company, Bai Run [20][21]. - Genki Forest previously attempted to enter the low-alcohol market with "Pingye Xida," but it did not gain traction due to the company's developmental stage at that time [6][8]. Group 2: Brand Strategy and Challenges - Genki Forest employs a brand "migration" strategy, reusing brand names across different product types, as seen with the "Lang" brand which was previously used for a less successful carbonated juice [8][9]. - The company faces challenges in effectively managing both soft drink and alcoholic beverage segments, as few companies globally successfully operate in both markets [15][17]. - Establishing a dedicated alcoholic beverage division may be necessary for Genki Forest to succeed in this new market, but it remains uncertain if the company will make such a commitment [18][26]. Group 3: Competitive Analysis - RIO's Qiangshuang has a stronger cost control capability due to its in-house production, while "Lang" relies on external manufacturing, impacting pricing strategies [21][24]. - RIO has established brand recognition in the low-alcohol market, which poses a significant challenge for "Lang" to gain consumer awareness and market share [20][21]. - "Lang" does not currently present significant competitive advantages over RIO, but it may still find a niche if it can differentiate itself from other low-alcohol products [24][26]. Group 4: Future Prospects - Genki Forest is not stopping with "Lang" and plans to introduce more alcoholic products, including a milk foam wine, indicating a long-term strategy in the alcoholic beverage sector [27][28]. - The company’s ongoing investments and acquisitions in the alcoholic beverage space suggest a serious commitment to this market, although it still has a long way to go in terms of operational expertise [27][28].
