"How should the retail industry position itself in the face of economic recovery?" In the new circumstances, practitioners have raised the same question about the path forward. McKinsey's China Consumer Report provides us with the best answer to this question.

According to the McKinsey China Consumer Report, despite recent macroeconomic slowdown and increased pressure, data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that the average growth of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the first nine months of 2022 was 2.0%. This indicates that the Chinese economy still demonstrates strong resilience and will continue to thrive with new trends in the consumer market in the coming year. We can also observe glimpses of these trends in the actions of numerous leading brands.

01. Brands are making further efforts in offline channels, with new stores showcasing emerging consumer trends.

In the past year, many leading brands in various industries such as Heytea, 85°C, Luxihe, Jixiang Wonton, Yonghe King, SKECHERS, Metersbonwe, Balabala, etc., have all upgraded their offline stores visually. Major categories are gradually focusing on offline channels. Through the operations of these brands, we can observe some key trends in offline stores.

1. Unlike traditional retail stores in the past, stores in the new trend pay more attention to creating a user experience.

2. All brands are leaning towards personalized and customized services to meet the diverse needs of customers.

3. Technology elements are abundant in offline stores, bringing consumers a new visual and sensory experience.

4. Store display systems vary in size, ranging from 22 inches to 98 inches, offering a diverse range of digital store hardware display devices.

In summary, these trends aim to create digital stores that showcase brand products, expand reach, and promote dynamic activities. Under these requirements, the choice of equipment becomes a key factor in store construction.
