The Development Of Sports Brand Is Hindered By The Sharp Decline Of The Population After The 1990S.

< p > after many years of overseas experience and efforts, Li Ning Co still can not win the favor of young consumers after 90 years in design and brand image.

By contrast, the two major sports brands, the international giant Adidas (Nike) and Nike, are more attractive to China's post-90s consumers.

The market thinks Lining's strategy of focusing on the younger generation is right, but it has problems in communication.

But from a larger perspective, Lining's dilemma is more likely to be related to a sharp decline in the population after the 1990s.

< p > sports brand has been growing rapidly in the past ten years and has no relation to the population peak of the "post-80s". However, as time goes on, the number of "post-90s" of the main consumption group is less than that of the "post-80s", and the consumption crowd has fallen sharply. The sports brand is no longer in sight. The domestic sports brand represented by Lining is deeply in the "closing shop tide".

Because of the declining trend of the new population since 1990, the prospect of the domestic sports brand is still not good.

According to statistics, China's new population is shrinking dramatically as the birth rate drops.

Before the expansion of several major sports brands are misjudged due to the situation now self effect.

According to the National Bureau of statistics, from 1983 onward, the number of new born population in China in 80s of last century has been at a relatively high level, of which 1990 is the most populous year, when the new born population reached 26 million 200 thousand in that year.

China's "post-1980s" has 124 million, close to the current 10% of the national population.

But after entering 90s, the number of new born population began to drop sharply from 26 million 200 thousand per year to 16 million annually.
