Today I'd like to share with you the 2024 Pan-Youth Marketing Insight Report. According to QuestMobile data, as of February 2024, the number of internet users aged 19-35 has exceeded 406 million. Among them, first-tier cities account for 9.2%, while new first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier cities account for 18.3%, 18.7%, and 25% respectively, becoming the absolute main force. Reflected in online consumption, the proportion of high-spending individuals (those spending over 2000 yuan per month online) exceeds 43.4%. In contrast, the proportion of high-spending individuals across the entire internet is only 28.8%.

This also highlights the marketing value of the young demographic, naturally leading to intense competition in marketing. Looking at specific user profiles, the pan-youth demographic shows a high preference for influencer content, sharing, music, short videos, games, and fashion, reaching 82.6%, 71.4%, 69.1%, 66.1%, 61.9%, and 61.8% respectively. Among them, creative influencer KOL users show even stronger preferences, with 87.4% favoring creative plots and 85.6% favoring entertainment activities, representing increases of 13.6 percentage points and 5.6 percentage points respectively compared to the same period last year.

At the same time, there are subtle differences in preferences across different age groups. Those aged 19 to 24 are more energetic, preferring performances, mobile games, and rational consumption. Those aged 25 to 30 show a stronger sense of enterprise, with high activity in business office, lifestyle services, and emerging technologies such as AIGC. Those aged 30 to 35 show a preference for maturity, with popular applications including Baidu Tieba, Hema, and Idle Fish, and terms like "refined lifestyle" becoming popular.

Influenced by this, various industries have seen the emergence of segmented products: "Chinese-style wellness" food and beverages, "new Chinese-style" clothing, integrated convenience appliances, and refined personal care electronics.

Young people with vitality have a stronger sense of rational consumption, while those who are striving for progress value rationality and cost-effectiveness. Mature young adults are more concerned with quality and practical consumerism.

Brand marketing is closely following the current trends, catering to the preferences of young people, and tailor-making marketing strategies.

1. Exquisite wellness has become an important consumption trend, and as Chinese culture becomes increasingly confident, the integration of Chinese culture in beverages is also becoming more profound.

During the period of rapid economic and cultural development, energetic youths who have grown up exhibit a high degree of cultural confidence and show particular interest in Chinese-style beverages. However, ambitious youths and mature individuals are "less impressed" by convenient foods such as fruit purees and fast food.

3. On one hand, the food and beverage brand is launching new Chinese-style health products to meet the wellness needs of young people. On the other hand, it is deeply integrating with traditional Chinese culture to resonate with the cultural interests of the younger generation.

Social media gradually grasps the "discourse power" of fashion trends, and people use dressing to showcase their lifestyle preferences, with various styles blossoming.

New Chinese-style dressing still dominates the minds of young users, with different segmented youth groups expressing their preferences through their dressing styles.

Energetic youths show a significantly higher preference for ballet style, mint wave, and BM style compared to the broader market. Their sensitivity to trends is higher, and they are more willing to try new things. Both striving youths and mature youths show a high TGI (Target Group Index) for the academy style, indicating that incorporating youthful elements into commuting scenes is a common demand among these two user groups.

6. The three steps of fashion brand marketing: catering to current trends in dressing, integrating popular dressing scenes, and evoking deep resonance with users.

In the context of the home appliance industry, the concept of integration, lightweight, and convenience is gaining significant traction, reflecting people's desire for multifunctional products and their pursuit of a quality lifestyle.

Young people use household appliances to create a "quality life" and a "lazy lifestyle", especially energetic young people pursue highly intelligent products to simplify tedious household chores. Driven by the minimalist concept, these products help reduce the burden on living spaces and are favored by energetic and enterprising young people, embodying the aesthetic of order.

9. Different subgroups show preference differences in household appliance categories, providing brand marketing with product and content entry points.

Energetic youth use small household appliances and personal care appliances to achieve refined management of their image and life; ambitious youth create a comfortable indoor environment through household appliances; mature youth tend to create a contemporary kitchen, promoting the establishment of a healthier family diet pattern.
