In 2023, the per capita expenditure on food, tobacco, and liquor in China stood slightly below the forecasted value for 2024. From 2024 to 2028, projections indicate a gradual increase, reaching 7.27 thousand yuans by the end of the period. The year-on-year growth illustrates persistent growth with a moderate increase in spending. Notably, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years highlights a stable upward trend, reflecting increasing consumer spending in these categories.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of continued economic growth on consumer purchasing power.
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier options affecting tobacco and liquor expenditures.
- Government regulations on tobacco and alcohol potentially impacting spending patterns.
- The influence of digital advancements in food and beverage delivery services on expenditure.
