Blind box economy continues to rise in 2023

Since its rise offline in early 2018, China’s blind box economy has quickly won widespread popularity in the retail industry and become a new consumer force. According to a recent study, people born after 1995 have become the most important consumers of blind boxes, accounting for nearly 40 percent. It is expected that by 2024, the market size of the blind box industry will double, reaching 30 billion yuan. In 2023, China’s animation product economy is expected to occupy 23.03% of the global market. The new generation of consumers (Gen Z) is a unique consumer group in the Chinese market, with a culture and self-identity that previous generations did not have. Blind box marketing is a popular strategy used by retailers to sell unlabeled products, with each blind box containing a unique product. This sense of mystery has attracted more and more young consumers, who are keen to buy blind boxes and share the surprises in them.
