3. Acceleration of the process of urbanization

The process of urbanization is conducive to raising the income level and bringing consumption habits closer to urban residents, effectively stimulating consumer demand for high-quality products. The process of urbanization has also provided consumers with more channels to purchase products.

4. Sales channels are becoming increasingly diversified

Increasingly diversified sales channels, such as convenience stores, e-commerce platforms, vending machines, etc., have increased the convenience of consumers to purchase products, thereby increasing the frequency of product consumption.
