Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of the concert market has not diminished, and the off-season is not weak.
It is worth noting that since last year, many liquor companies have either participated in person, or held various concert activities in the form of sponsorship or naming. In the first half of 2024 alone, many liquor companies including Wuliangye, Yanghe, Luzhou Laojiao, Yangshao, Jinshiyuan, and Daohuaxiang have participated in concerts.
Concerts sponsored by major wine companies often launch "buy wine and get tickets free" activities, that is, if you purchase a specified number of boxes of products, you will receive free concert tickets. Take the Wuliang Tequ Cangzhou Stars Concert as an example. If you purchase 2 boxes of Wuliang Tequ·Crown Edition, you can receive a ticket worth 3,088 yuan.

Over the past year or so, the shadow of price inversion has shrouded the liquor industry, and sales have become the main work of enterprises. Production reduction is a common trend in the industry. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that the liquor output of my country's regulated enterprises will drop from 6.7124 million kiloliters in 2022 to 4.492 million kiloliters in 2023. The liquor industry has obviously entered the stage of stock game.
Young people who have never shown much interest in liquor have become a problem for liquor companies striving for growth.
The survey shows that the structure of liquor consumption groups is undergoing significant changes. Those born in the 1950s and 1960s are gradually withdrawing from the mainstream of the alcohol consumption market; the consumption of those born in the 70s and 80s is also gradually shrinking; business and management people born before 1985 are the main force in the current liquor market consumption.
According to Qianjiang Evening News, some alcohol experts believe that the current main consumer group in the performance market is young people aged 18 to 34 years old. Liquor companies want to embrace this young group and invite young popular singers through concerts to break the traditional attitude of young consumers. In addition to the inherent impression of liquor, it can also inject youthful genes into the brand.
