In addition, he also said, "If you compare brands horizontally, if they keep releasing new products and holding activities, if you don't come up with strategies, consumers will not be used to you when they are used to others."

China Food Industry Analyst, Guangdong Zhu Danpeng, vice president of the Provincial Food Safety Promotion Association, believes that the "price war" caters to the current consumer behavior habits of pursuing cost-effectiveness.

After "rolling" the first-tier cities, we also need to "roll" the sinking market. About 40% of Heytea's stores are opened in third-tier cities and below, and Guming's main focus is on the rural market, accounting for more than 30%.

At the same time, many brands are "going overseas" one after another, and is pursuing a broader market. For example, Mixue Bingcheng has nearly 5,000 overseas stores, most of which are in Southeast Asia. Coco and Gongcha have entered the British market. Heytea focuses on the European and American markets and has already entered the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and other countries.

Wang Yuefei, director of the Tea Research Institute of Zhejiang University, said that "going overseas" tests the comprehensive strength of new tea brands in transnational operations. “Accurate analysis of the market also requires brands to have strong supply chain management capabilities and require constant transformation and upgrading."
