Seasonal characteristics and coping strategies of China's aromatherapy wholesale industry

In recent years, with the increasing demand of consumers for quality of life, aromatherapy products have gradually become an essential choice for enhancing home atmosphere and relaxing the body and mind. In China, the aromatherapy wholesale industry is showing a thriving trend, with seasonal characteristics being particularly prominent. This article will delve into the seasonal characteristics of China's aromatherapy wholesale industry and propose corresponding response strategies based on the successful case of Wancheng Fragrance Crafts Co., Ltd. in Yiwu, Zhejiang.

1、 Seasonal characteristics of aromatherapy wholesale industry

The seasonal characteristics of the aromatherapy wholesale industry are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The holiday effect is significant: during Western holidays such as Valentine's Day and Christmas, as well as traditional Chinese holidays such as Spring Festival and Mid Autumn Festival, aromatherapy products, as an important element for expressing emotions and creating a festive atmosphere, will experience significant sales growth. These special moments have become the sales peak of the aromatherapy wholesale industry.

The impact of seasonal changes: In autumn and winter, as temperatures drop, people tend to use aromatherapy products to warm their homes and relax, resulting in an increase in aromatherapy sales. In spring and summer, due to warmer weather, some consumers may reduce the use of indoor aromatherapy, resulting in relatively stable sales.

Consumer group changes: Consumer needs and preferences will also change in different seasons. For example, Generation Z women, as the main force in aromatherapy consumption, pay more attention to the calming and sleep enhancing functions of aromatherapy products during autumn and winter seasons.

2、 Response strategy

In response to the seasonal characteristics of the aromatherapy wholesale industry, companies should adopt the following strategies to cope with market changes:
