What are the bottlenecks for new energy vehicles to accelerate their entry into the rural market?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 7th Question: What are the bottlenecks for new energy vehicles to enter the rural market?

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Huang Xing and Xiang Dingjie

  "It is very cost-effective to buy new energy vehicles now, and it is tens of thousands of yuan cheaper to count various preferential policies. The car is very environmentally friendly, its endurance performance is good, and it is economical and affordable. " Recently, Cao Fuping, a villager from Guang Shun Town, Changshun County, Guizhou Province, bought a Geely Galaxy L7.

  A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that with the help of policies, new energy vehicles are accelerating their entry into the rural market. However, there are still some problems in some areas, such as incomplete charging pile facilities and the need to improve vehicle adaptability. It is still necessary to speed up the construction of charging facilities, enrich rural vehicles and improve support policies to help new energy vehicles go to the countryside.

  New energy vehicles speed up their drive to the rural market.

  Walking in many rural areas, from time to time, you can see new energy vehicles with green cards whizzing by.

  Walking into the charging station of Fuhuan Town, Qijiang District, Chongqing, the owner Liu Gang is charging his polar fox car. Last year, Liu Gang spent more than 220,000 yuan to buy this car. "It only takes more than an hour to charge 80% of the electricity, and it costs less than 1 yuan’s money for every 1 kilowatt hour, which is convenient and affordable. The driving experience of electric cars is also great. " Liu Gang said.

  Ye Peng, deputy general manager of State Grid Chongqing Qijiang Power Supply Company, told the reporter that in 2022, the company invested 300,000 yuan to build a charging station in Fuhuan Town; After the charging station was put into operation, the number of new energy vehicles in the town has gradually increased to more than 40, and many villagers continue to buy new energy vehicles.

  In recent years, a series of policies have been introduced to encourage new energy vehicles to go to the countryside. In July 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued a notice requesting the organization of new energy vehicles to go to the countryside. In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other ministries and commissions launched the activity of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in 2023, which will last until December this year, with a total of 69 new energy vehicle models participating.

  Xie Guang, senior director of the strategic planning department of Changan Automobile, said that seven cars of Changan Automobile were selected for this year’s catalogue of new energy vehicles going to the countryside. In order to increase sales, the company introduced a number of preferential policies, such as the best-selling model Benben E-Star giving a discount of 12,000 yuan, while the other model directly dropped 30,000 yuan and then sent the "Three Electricity" (motor, battery and electronic control) lifetime warranty.

  The accelerated improvement of the charging infrastructure has also helped pave the way for new energy vehicles to "go to the countryside". The data shows that in 2020, the number of individual charging piles in Qijiang District of Chongqing was only 24, and the number of new charging piles in 2022 has reached 515, reaching 586 this year. 86% of townships in Guizhou have built charging facilities, and Chongqing is expected to achieve full coverage of all township charging facilities by 2025.

  According to the data released by China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the sales volume of new energy vehicles going to the countryside increased by 80%, 169% and 87% respectively in 2020, 2021 and 2022, driving the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles going to the countryside to more than 4.1 million. The industry expects that the sales volume of new energy vehicles to the countryside will continue to climb this year.

  Popularization still needs to go through three hurdles

  Although the sales of new energy vehicles in rural areas continue to increase, the penetration rate in rural areas is still low. According to the data of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, in March this year, the penetration rate of pure electric passenger cars in counties and townships was 16%, and the penetration rate of plug-in passenger cars in counties and townships was 8%.

  The industry believes that there are still many problems to be solved before new energy vehicles can enter the "fast lane" in the countryside.

  — — Charging facilities need to be further improved. The reporter learned that the current rural new energy vehicle market is still in the initial stage of popularization, and the construction of charging facilities in rural areas is still lagging behind. There are problems in the construction of charging piles, such as low social investment willingness, difficult profitability and difficult equipment maintenance.

  "There are too few charging piles and they are often found everywhere." A new energy owner in Longshan Town, Longli County, Guizhou Province said that local public charging piles are often unavailable, and it is common to run for 10 to 20 kilometers for charging. Zhang Le, a resident of a township in Chongqing, told reporters that he once wanted to start with a new energy vehicle, but he finally chose a fuel vehicle because he was worried that it was inconvenient to charge.

  — — Models and prices should be more suitable for the needs of rural consumers. Rural residents are more sensitive to price, and quite a few people tend to buy new energy vehicles below 70,000 yuan. Every year, cars go to the countryside mainly in small cars and mini-cars.

  Some rural residents prefer cheap old scooters. Wang Ping, the branch secretary of Haimakong Village, xiuwen county, Guizhou Province, said that almost every household in the village has an old scooter. "Although the old scooter has potential safety hazards, it is really cheap and has a low threshold for use."

  According to the car salesmen interviewed, some micro new energy vehicles are selling well, but at present, there are few new energy vehicles that can take into account the use scenarios such as rural cargo pulling and agricultural production.

  — — The sales service system needs to be further improved. The reporter learned that the traditional fuel vehicle dealer system is deeply rooted, and there are generally 4S stores or dealer channels in the county. However, new energy vehicles often adopt online booking and new direct sales mode, and the dealer system of car enterprises in the county is not perfect, which leads to the underdevelopment of new energy vehicle finance, insurance, used cars, after-sales and maintenance.

  Take multiple measures to unblock the "blocking point"

  Industry experts believe that compared with cities, the rural new energy vehicle market will still be a blue ocean. According to the Study on Electric Vehicle Travel in Rural Areas of China published by China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be nearly 160 vehicles with 1,000 people in rural areas of China, with a total ownership of over 70 million vehicles, and the market scale may reach 500 billion yuan.

  Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of China Automobile Industry Association, suggested that efforts should be made to improve public charging facilities, enrich rural vehicles and support policies, and accelerate the assistance of new energy vehicles to the countryside.

  First of all, focus on building public charging facilities. The relevant person in charge of State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company suggested that public charging facilities should be given priority in counties, townships, enterprises and institutions, commercial buildings, transportation hubs and other places, and at the same time, the existing rural residential communities should be accelerated to carry out the transformation of charging facilities construction conditions according to local conditions, and the requirements for charging infrastructure construction in new residential communities should be implemented.

  "Rural areas are mostly ‘ One household and one hospital ’ The living form can be actively explored ‘ Photovoltaic+energy storage+automobile charging ’ Integrated charging mode. " Xie Guang said. The reporter found that at present, the model has been implemented in scenes such as expressway service areas, but it is rarely used in rural residents’ homes.

  Secondly, we should speed up the supply of products to the countryside. Xu Haidong suggested that new energy vehicle companies should be encouraged to develop more economical, practical and marketable vehicles according to the characteristics of consumers in rural areas, especially products such as micro-trucks, micro-trucks and light trucks. In view of the fact that rural consumers have low requirements for cruising range, the number of batteries can be reduced to reduce the cost and price.

  In addition, it is necessary to guide new energy vehicle companies to sink their sales and service networks. Lin Yun, an associate professor of Chongqing University, and others suggested that car companies and third-party service enterprises should be guided to speed up the construction of joint business outlets in rural areas, establish a supporting after-sales service system, regularly carry out after-sales service activities in the countryside, and provide emergency rescue services.

[Going to the ice and snow together] Must see before skiing! Please keep this legal risk warning of skiing.

With the hosting of the Winter Olympics

Skiing has attracted more and more attention.

Many sports enthusiasts walk into ski resorts.

Experience the freedom and excitement brought by skiing.

Let’s have a look together.

What legal risks should be paid attention to in skiing?

Case study

In the process of falling down the snowy road, because Joe hit Oumou during skiing, Oumou fell and caused a broken fracture of his right thigh and femoral shaft, and he was hospitalized for bone fracture surgery. Therefore, he sued the court and asked Qiao and A Ski Resort to compensate Ou for medical expenses and other expenses. After trial, the court held that Joe found that Ou Mou, who was taxiing nearby, failed to avoid it safely in time, resulting in contact between the two sides and injury to Ou Mou, and he should bear corresponding responsibilities. However, Oumou was only 10 years old at the time of the crime. His father took Oumou to ski on the high-risk intermediate slide, and let Oumou ski alone on the intermediate slide. He did not assist him or take corresponding protective measures. He did not fulfill his guardianship responsibility and did not submit evidence to prove his position and sliding order with Qiaomou at the time of the crime. He should also bear corresponding civil liabilities and reduce Qiaomou’s liability for compensation. As the manager of the ski resort, A Ski Resort failed to reasonably foresee the corresponding risks and remind them when minors entered the high-risk intermediate slide skiing alone, failed to fulfill their safety guarantee obligations, and had certain faults in the accident, so they should bear corresponding supplementary responsibilities.

Judge’s interpretation

1. Skiers are injured because the ski resort fails to fulfill its security obligations.

Law link:

Article 1198 of the Civil Code: Operators, managers or organizers of mass activities in hotels, shopping malls, banks, railway stations, airports, stadiums, entertainment places and other business places shall bear tort liability if they fail to fulfill their security obligations and cause damage to others.

If the behavior of a third party causes damage to others, the third party shall bear the tort liability; Operators, managers or organizers who fail to fulfill their security obligations shall bear corresponding supplementary responsibilities. Operators, managers or organizers may claim compensation from a third party after assuming supplementary responsibilities.

The judge suggested:

Ski resorts, as operators and managers of skiing activities, have the legal obligation to protect the personal and property safety of skiers during skiing. If they fail to provide evidence to prove that they have fulfilled their safety protection obligations, they should bear corresponding tort liability for the damage suffered by skiers. If skiers are at fault, the responsibility of ski resorts can be appropriately reduced. The hidden dangers and loopholes caused by the non-compliance of ski resorts may lead to injury accidents or the expansion of damage results. However, the failure of ski resorts to fulfill their security obligations is generally reflected in the field and the management of ski resorts. Site risk refers to that the site setting of the ski resort does not meet the corresponding standards, such as there are exposed debris, wires and other sundries on the snow surface, and there is no standard fence around the snow trail. The management of ski resorts is mainly reflected in the safety risks caused by unscientific and non-compliant management in the daily operation of ski resorts, such as the failure to clearly mark the level of ski resorts and the untimely rescue of dangers.

2. The skier was injured due to the third person.

Law link:

Article 175 of the Civil Code: The damage was caused by a third person, who should bear the tort liability.

Article 1179 of the Civil Code infringes upon others and causes personal injury, it shall compensate the reasonable expenses for treatment and rehabilitation, such as medical expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses, nutrition expenses, hospital food subsidies, and the income reduced due to absenteeism. If it causes disability, it shall also compensate for the cost of assistive devices and disability compensation; If death is caused, funeral expenses and death compensation shall also be paid.

The judge suggested:

The risk caused by a third person generally refers to the risk of collision between skiers due to their failure to fulfill their duty of care. When skiing, we should fully observe the changes of the surrounding environment, select the snow trail and training ground according to our own ability, and take reasonable avoidance measures during skiing to keep a safe distance. Ski resorts are also obliged to manage the safety of tourists, such as controlling the flow of people on the ski slopes and reducing or avoiding the potential risks of tourists when skiing. In case of collision during skiing, you should try to save the basic evidence on the spot, or apply for the surveillance video of the ski resort, so as to clarify the division of responsibilities between the two parties.

3. Skiers are injured due to their own reasons.

Law link:

Article 1165 of the Civil Code. If an actor infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others through fault and causes damage, he shall bear tort liability.

The judge suggested:

Skiers’ own risks are generally reflected in: the risk caused by skiing in a state that is not suitable for skiing, the risk caused by not wearing ski equipment according to regulations, the risk caused by choosing a slide beyond the technical level, and the risk caused by not paying due attention to the obligation when skiing. Skiers should bear the main responsibility for personal injury caused by their failure to fulfill their reasonable duty of care. During the operation of ski resorts, corresponding risk warnings should be made beside ski tickets and snow trails, and guardrails should be set up according to protection standards. Skiing is a very dangerous recreational activity. Skiers should buy insurance before skiing, wear protective gear when skiing, choose the trail that suits them, and go downhill step by step on the premise of ensuring safety.

Deep Interpretation | What challenges will the fashion industry face in 2024?

The State of Fashion 2024 Report

A few days ago, McKinsey and BOF jointly released the report "The State of Fashion 2024", which deeply discussed the current situation and future trend of the global fashion industry. The report covers consumer behavior, brand strategy, digital transformation and sustainable development. Let’s take stock of the potential challenges and opportunities that the fashion industry will face in 2024 through the interpretation of the report.

The State of Fashion 2024 Report

In 2024, fashion companies will face economic headwinds, technological changes and changing competition patterns. However, changes in consumers’ focus will continue to bring opportunities.

—— Introduction to the report

According to the report of The State of Fashion 2024,In the coming year, challenges such as weak economic growth, persistent inflation and weak consumer confidence may make industry leaders feel a lot of uncertainty. In this context, it will be a new challenge for enterprises to discover the value depression and release the new motivation of performance.

We can see:It is predicted that the growth of all regions will slow down but tend to be normal in 2024, among which the growth of non-luxury goods and luxury goods market in China will be higher than that in the United States and Europe in the same period.

McKinsey also predicted that:In 2024, the retail sales of the global fashion industry will achieve a year-on-year growth of 2%-4% (there will be slight differences between different countries and regions). The luxury goods market will once again create the largest share of economic profits. It is estimated that the growth rate of global retail sales of luxury goods will slow down from 5%-7% in 2023 to 3%-5% in 2024, because consumers will curb consumption after experiencing the shopping boom after the pandemic.

Trend Prospect of Fashion Industry in 2024

# Global economy #

01 fragmented future

"In 2024, the global economic outlook may continue to be turbulent, and consumer spending may decrease in the coming year," the report wrote.Challenges from finance, geopolitics and other aspects will affect the confidence of global consumers, which requires suppliers, brands and retailers to strengthen emergency response measures.

The economic outlook report released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on November 29th also shows that:The global GDP growth rate will slow down from 2.9% in 2023 to 2.7% in 2024, and it is estimated that the GDP growth will improve slightly in 2025, reaching 3%.It is predicted that from 2024 to 2025, Asia will continue to contribute most of the global economic growth as it did in 2023.

It is worth mentioning that "Emerging Asia", as a promising market, will provide potential growth points.

The urgency of climate

10 countries most affected by climate disasters (a large part of clothing exports come from the above countries) Source: United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, WTO.

In the past year, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather have proved that the climate crisis is continuing to intensify. These crises also make the fashion industry more fragile. According to the report, by 2030, extreme weather events may endanger the clothing export business worth $65 billion and make nearly 1 million jobs disappear in the four most important economies of the global fashion industry.

According to a report by Fashion Without Borders, 2024 may be the first year when the global average surface temperature is 1.5°C higher than that in the pre-industrial era. This is the first time that the British National Weather Service has predicted that the temperature may temporarily exceed 1.5°C within one year.As the climate crisis worsens, we in the fashion industry can’t delay any longer. We need to build resilience in the fashion supply chain and help reduce emissions.

# Consumer transfer #

03 vacation mode

Consumers are preparing for the largest tourism year since the outbreak of the pandemic. It is estimated that the number of global tourists will exceed the pre-pandemic level for the first time in 2024, reaching 110% of the 2019 level.

For travelers, shopping is still their "top priority". The data shows that 80% of consumers surveyed from the United States, Britain and China said they would buy fashion products when traveling in 2024, and 28% of them plan to spend more than the previous year; More than half of the respondents said they were looking for destinations they had never been to, including second-tier cities.Faced with such demand and changes in market trends, brands and retailers should consider updating their distribution and category strategies to meet the needs of travelers anytime and anywhere.

The new face of influence

The report also mentioned that compared with previous years, 68% of consumers began to be troubled by a large number of sponsored content on social media, and 65% of consumers reduced their dependence on fashion influencers.Consumers are more looking forward to the demand for authenticity, entertainment and approachable personality. The creators of "New Wave" were also born.-they advocate less exquisite aesthetics, grotesque, humor, and fragility.

In order to capture and retain the attention of online consumers in 2024, fashion marketers may break the tried-and-true routine and explore new ways to cooperate with creators.

05 outdoor sports re-innovation

Consumers’ pursuit of healthy lifestyle and "Gorpcore style" has promoted the development of technical outdoor clothing, and this trend may be further accelerated.More and more outdoor brands may launch lifestyle series, and lifestyle brands will integrate technical elements into the series, further blurring the boundary between functionality and fashion.

"Gorpcore" is abbreviated as "Good Ol’ Raisins and Peanuts", which describes the fashion style that combines street clothes with outdoor sports elements.

In recent years, outdoor clothing and shoes have been repositioned as daily items, which means thatThe brand will establish a closer relationship between style and practicality.. With the cooling of the "Gorpcore" trend,Brands may begin to tend to be low-key, "quiet outdoor" fashion.. The report also predicts that in 2024,Competition at different price points and categories may be intensified.Some outdoor brands will tilt their clothes to the high end, while others will adjust their footwear products.

# Fashion System #

06 new generation artificial intelligence

After the emergence of generative artificial intelligence in 2023, there have been some use cases in creative industries including fashion. In 2023, the equity financing of start-ups focusing on generative artificial intelligence surged, reaching $14.1 billion in the first half of this year alone.To seize the value of this revolutionary technology in 2024, the fashion industry needs to go beyond automation and explore its potential to enhance the work of human creative personnel.At present, the EU has reached a preliminary agreement on the artificial intelligence bill, which has reached three points of consensus, including clarifying the obligations of AI systems classified as high-risk, and proposing that citizens should have the right to lodge complaints and have the right to obtain meaningful explanations; The general AI system and model must be transparent, and the biometric identification system should be used in public places for law enforcement purposes, thus achieving exceptions and safeguards for law enforcement exemption.

As mentioned in the report, as many as a quarter of the potential value of generative artificial intelligence in fashion may be driven by use cases in design and product development. 73% of fashion executives have said that in 2024, generative artificial intelligence will become a priority for their enterprises, and 28% of enterprises have tried to use it in the creative process of design and product development.

07 fast fashion power game

In the coming year, the competition of fast fashion may be more intense. Challengers, led by Shein, a B2C fast fashion e-commerce platform, and Temu, a cross-border platform owned by Pinduoduo, are changing their strategies around price, customer experience and speed.

Temu

In the past 12 months, 40% American consumers and 26% British consumers have shopped in Shein or Temu. The success of these companies benefits from the innovation of operating models, including flexible design of supply chain from manufacturers to consumers and data-driven product design. These innovations make fashion faster and cheaper than before.

In 2024, this generation of fast fashion may face some challenges as the standards of regulators and consumers on topics such as sustainable development and trade practice are constantly changing.The success of disruptors and incumbents will depend on whether they can adapt to the changing consumer preferences and control the laws and regulations that may affect the industry.

08 Pay attention to the brand

The pattern facing the fashion industry is changing, and performance marketing is no longer the main focus.Brand marketing may become the focus of fashion again in the coming year. The emotional connection between consumers and brands is also likely to become the key for fashion marketers to adjust their strategies and emphasize long-term brand building strategies.According to the survey, 71% of fashion executives plan to invest more money in brand marketing in 2024 than before, and 46% plan to invest more money in effect marketing.

In view of the increasing cost of effect marketing and the restrictions on customer orientation by data privacy laws, fashion marketers need to find new ways to attract shoppers.In the future, brands may improve the way of establishing emotional connection with consumers through marketing, and may cooperate in fashion industry and adjacent fields to create fascinating brand stories.

09 sustainability rules

The era of self-restraint and sustainable development of fashion industry will end on a global scale. New rules from various jurisdictions may have a wide impact on consumers and the fashion industry. Brands and manufacturers need to reform their business models to adapt to future changes.

The report also mentioned that at the end of 2023, there were as many as 16 pieces of legislation related to fashion and textiles under discussion in the EU alone, and the first batch will take effect in 2024. Relevant laws and regulations will cover the whole fashion value chain from product design to marketing, which will have an impact on consumers and enterprises around the world.

The latest EU textile regulations are expected to be promulgated in 2024, which are applicable to all companies engaged in textile trade in the EU.

10 whip effect

The change of consumer demand leads to the "Bullwhip effect", which brings pressure to fashion suppliers.The "bullwhip effect" refers to the phenomenon that when the demand information in the middle and lower reaches of the supply chain is transmitted to the upstream, retailers, distributors and wholesalers are overweight layer by layer because the information cannot be effectively shared, and the demand is getting higher and higher upstream, just like waving a bullwhip, which eventually leads to a great difference between the demand data obtained by the most original supplier and the demand information of customers in the actual consumer market.

Bullwhip effect

In the fashion industry, the impact of demand fluctuation on upstream suppliers is particularly serious. According to the report data, the production capacity of factories that were produced at full capacity in 2021 has dropped by 30%-40% by 2023. According to 73% of chief procurement officers, this volatility will become one of the primary challenges affecting supplier relations in the next five years.If the supply wants to keep up with the expected new demand, brands and retailers should consider paying attention to transparency and strengthening strategic partnership.

*

The report of The State of Fashion 2024 writes:Looking forward to 2024, fashion leaders are expected to encounter more unfavorable factors and feel uncertain about the prospects for the coming year.. In the survey conducted in early September, 26% of the respondents expected the market situation to improve in 2024, 37% expected the situation to remain unchanged, and 38% expected the situation to deteriorate. This is the biggest difference in the BoF-McKinsey survey since 2017.

It is not difficult to predict that the next year will still be a year of crisis and opportunity. Although it is full of changes, there is still a breakthrough prospect.Facing the innovation of science and technology and the development of artificial intelligence, enterprises can seize opportunities by making full use of technology; Faced with the increasing demand of consumers for authenticity and affinity of content, marketers can consider taking advantage of the new wave of creation to create a new brand narrative; In the year when people rekindle their enthusiasm for travel, enterprises can further enhance the way of interacting with consumers and create a brand experience that breaks through the tradition …

All in all, 2024 is a challenging year. We are full of confidence, but we are not blindly optimistic. We also expect industry practitioners to ride the wind and waves, rebuild their confidence in the process of recovery, lay a solid foundation and accumulate wealth.

Fashion is not just chasing the trend, but also a pursuit of quality life.

Reveal three secrets of middle-aged and elderly women’s dress

In the bizarre fashion stage, we can’t help thinking about an intriguing question: Why do some middle-aged and elderly women still can’t erase that strong rustic feeling even if they wear expensive fashion? After all, is the essence of fashion wearing really just a pile of famous brands and price labels? Through in-depth analysis, we may find some enlightenment in the fog of fashion.

The lag of fashion concept

The primary reason is the lag of fashion concept. Some middle-aged and elderly women can’t keep up with the pace of the times and still stay in the old fashion concept. With the rapid development of society, fashion is no longer the exclusive domain of young people, and middle-aged and elderly women should also become the protagonists of fashion. However, some people seem to be fixed in the past by time, unable to keenly capture the current fashion pulse.

Time waits for no one.

This is not only a matter of dressing, but also a reflection of life attitude. Fashion is a field full of vitality and creativity. Being integrated into it can not only make people rejuvenate, but also express their love for life. Therefore, if middle-aged and elderly women can break the inherent fashion concept and bravely try some novel and interesting combinations, they will certainly be able to shine a brand-new light on the fashion stage.

Neglect of dress quality

Perhaps some people think that as long as you wear a famous brand, you can become a fashionista in a second. However, true fashion is not only ostentation, but also quality support from the inside out. Some middle-aged and elderly women are confined to traditional ideas, limiting fashion to superficial material accumulation, but ignoring the importance of clothing quality.

Sublimation of taste

Fashion is not just chasing the trend, but also a pursuit of quality life. Regardless of the price, the fabric, cutting and workmanship of clothes are very important. If middle-aged and elderly women can pay attention to the texture and design sense of clothes and choose clothes suitable for their body shape and temperament, they can inadvertently show their elegant taste consistent with their age. After all, wearing a sense of quality can better show the fashion charm of both internal and external repair.

Lack of personalized style

The lack of personalized style is also an important reason why middle-aged and elderly women wear clothes and become rustic. Some people rely too much on fashion magazines or celebrities’ clothes, but ignore the unique value of individuality in fashion. Dressing is not only a superficial modification, but also a way to show individual independence.

Unique light

If middle-aged and elderly women can tap their own unique charm and create a style that conforms to their personality, they will surely shine brilliantly on the fashion stage. Different people have different temperament and aesthetics, and personalized fashion style can better show a person’s unique charm. Therefore, in the pursuit of fashion, middle-aged and elderly women should pay more attention to discovering their own uniqueness and bravely show their personalized style.

The eternal password of fashion

Fashion is an eternal topic, and age has never been a shackle that limits fashion. Middle-aged and elderly women can also shine in the palace of fashion. The key is to dare to try and break through. It is a brave step for every middle-aged and elderly woman to get rid of the shackles of the past, no longer be satisfied with tradition and explore personalized dressing styles.

Fashion is not only an external splendor, but also an internal attitude towards life. Taste, quality and personality are the keys for middle-aged and elderly women to find fashion codes in the fashion maze. Only by truly understanding and implementing these three elements can we exude a unique charm that is commensurate with our age but does not lose our sense of fashion.

Beauty: either adjust the momentum, or grow against the trend, waiting for the industry to recover.

However, due to the lack of driving force at the bottom, the recovery rate may be limited; Prefer stocks whose current growth can hedge the unfavorable factors of the industry.

▍ Focus on creating classic big items and strengthening brand mind.

Winona: Breaking the circle of "sensitivity+",consolidating the original superior items and creating a new generation of big items of the elite family;

Polaiya: The matrix of large single products has been initially built, and the strategy of large single products has been firmly implemented. New products such as Cloud Sun Protection and Double Anti-3.0 have been listed;

The volume of recombinant collagen has increased, and Juzi and Marubi have launched high-potential new products with recombinant collagen peptide as the core component and increased their delivery to create explosions; The "skin care formula" extends from "early C late A" to "early P late R".

▍ Risk factors:

Post-epidemic recovery progress, insufficient willingness to consume, sustained recovery, etc. may have negative effects; Strict supervision or exceeding expectations; The progress of enterprise product development or approval may be less than expected, which will have a negative impact on performance.

▍ Investment strategy:

From the second quarter, both the demand side and the supply side of beauty cosmetics are expected to improve marginally. Adding to the low base caused by the epidemic in the same period last year, the growth rate of the industry is expected to bottom out. However, in view of the fact that the driving force of the industry has not changed substantially, the recovery rate may be limited. Judging from the third data such as magic mirror and mother, the growth rate of online beauty data in April has turned positive to a small positive growth; The situation of further recovery needs to be observed in the "618 Great Promotion" which started in late May. In terms of investment, there are many structural and individual opportunities.

Main line 1: Recommend companies that have outstanding comprehensive capabilities or are currently in the harvest period of change.

Main line 2: Recommend companies that adjust in stages, whose stock prices fully reflect the negative, and whose fundamentals are expected to improve marginally.

Main line 3: It is recommended to choose the right opportunity to lay out the air outlet track with outstanding technical advantages and good growth, but the stock price is affected by non-fundamental factors such as lifting the ban.

Main line 4: Recommend emerging sunscreen companies that are in the climbing cycle of capacity utilization rate, and actively expand into the field of personal care raw materials with broad growth space.
