According to a report issued recently by China's major e-commerce platform Taobao on so-called lazy person's consumption statistics, this year Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan purchasing commodities and services online. The amount was 70% more than that of 2017, with the post-1995 generation being the "laziest" as their consumption increased 82% year-on-year.
國內主要電商平臺淘寶近日發(fā)布的有關所謂的“懶人”消費數(shù)據(jù)顯示,2018年中國人花160億元在線購買商品和服務,較去年增長70%,其中95后“最懶”,其消費水平同比增長82%。
所謂的“懶人經濟(lazy economy)”是指一種新型消費需求(a new type of consumption demand),從本質上講是由人們想省時省力(time-saving and labor-saving)、圖方便的想法催生的。隨著生活節(jié)奏的加快(the pace of life accelerates),人們把越來越多的時間花在了工作、通勤和社交生活上(spend increasingly more time on work, commuting and social life),越來越不愿花時間在實體店買東西(brick-and-mortar shopping)、做飯和打掃衛(wèi)生上,于是“懶人經濟”應運而生。
多是“平躺生物”的95后人群“懶需求”增長最快,且他們更多在居家用品(household items)上嘗試“懶人神器”。來自淘寶的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)顯示,淘寶懶人居家用品消費較去年增長了28%,消費者以95后為主,主要分布在黑龍江、浙江和福建。
用高科技電子設備(high-tech electronic devices)來解決家務問題,是“懶人經濟”的一大趨勢。掃地機器人(floor mopping robot)、自動擦窗機(automatic window cleaner)、自動洗襪機、電動拖把等都顯示出巨大的需求。其中,智能掃地機同比增長50%。
餐飲食品方面,外賣服務(take-out food delivery service)已成為人們日常生活中的一部分,很好的滿足了人們想要過上更為輕松自在生活(more relaxed and easy life)的需求。
與此同時,懶人食品(lazy food)和用具的消費也在激增。淘寶數(shù)據(jù)顯示,懶人炒菜機、懶人面包機等懶人廚房電器(kitchen appliance)年消費增長了81%,自熱火鍋、懶人燒烤等懶人食品的消費更是增長了150%。
由于滿足了人們多樣化和不斷增長的消費需求(diversified and ever-increasing consumption demands), 懶人經濟正迅速增長。專家表示,隨著消費的持續(xù)升級(ongoing consumption upgrading),懶人經濟將會出現(xiàn)進一步增長。
