艾媒咨询 | 2026年中国新春年货消费行为调研数据

随着中国消费者对情感价值、个性表达及生活品质的追求日益深化，年货消费正从传统的集中囤货与礼节性馈赠，加速向以兴趣驱动、悦己悦人、注重健康与体验的价值型消费转型。根据全球领先的新经济产业第三方数据挖掘和分析机构iiMedia Research（艾媒咨询）最新发布的《2026年中国新春年货消费行为调研数据》显示，2018-2025年中国礼物经济产业市场规模从8000亿元增至14498亿元，预计2027年中国礼物经济市场规模将增至16197亿元。此外，2025年中国休闲食品行业规模为11804亿元，2027年预计将达到12378亿元，整体市场前景保持积极向好态势。
中国消费者购买新春年货品类中，超半数消费者选择了休闲食品类，其核心购买原因集中在口味丰富多样（45.88%）、性价比高（41.41%）及包装喜庆契合年味（38.59%）。这一偏好结构清晰地表明，当代中国消费者的年货选择是一种理性决策与情感需求并重的复合行为，既追求产品本身多元化的味觉体验与实惠价格，也高度重视其外在包装所承载的节日仪式感与情感价值，使得休闲食品超越了一般零食范畴，成为烘托新年气氛、满足口腹之愉的关键消费品。
艾媒咨询分析师认为，新春年货市场将呈现三大发展趋势：一是口味创新持续深化，通过挖掘地方特色风味、开展跨界联名等方式，打造具有记忆点的“味觉IP”，同时结合健康化趋势拓宽消费场景；二是供应链效率与成本控制成为关键，企业需借助数字化手段实现柔性生产，在保障产品品质与供应稳定性的同时，维持价格竞争力；三是场景营销与文化赋能升级，将传统节庆元素与现代审美、互动体验深度融合，从包装视觉延展至沉浸式消费场景构建，强化品牌情感联结。整体年货市场在消费升级与年节文化回归的双重驱动下，正朝着更高附加值的“体验化”、“传统现代融合”与“健康化”方向持续演进。
As Chinese consumers' pursuit of emotional value, individual expression and quality of life deepens, the consumption of New Year goods is accelerating its transformation from the traditional practice of centralized stockpiling and ceremonial gift-giving to value-driven, self- and others-pleasing, health-focused and experiential consumption driven by interests. According to the latest "Research data on Chinese New Year's goods consumption behavior in 2026" released by iiMedia Research, a leading third-party data mining and analysis institution for the new economy industry, the market size of the gift economy in China has increased from 800 billion yuan in 2018 to 1449.8 billion yuan by 2025. It is expected that the market size of the gift economy in China will reach 1619.7 billion yuan in 2027. In addition, the scale of the leisure food industry in China will be 1180.4 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to reach 1237.8 billion yuan in 2027. The overall market outlook remains positive and favorable.
Among the categories of New Year goods purchased by Chinese consumers, over half of them chose the category of snack foods. The main reasons for their purchase focused on the rich variety of flavors (45.88%), high cost-effectiveness (41.41%), and the festive and appealing packaging that matched the festive atmosphere (38.59%). This preference structure clearly indicates that contemporary Chinese consumers' choice of New Year goods is a complex behavior that combines rational decision-making and emotional needs. They not only pursue the diversified taste experience and affordable prices of the products themselves, but also attach great importance to the festive ritualism and emotional value carried by the external packaging, making snack foods go beyond the category of ordinary snacks and become a key consumer product for enhancing the New Year atmosphere and satisfying the desire for delicious food.
Analysts from iiMedia Research believe that the new year's festive and leisure food market will exhibit three major trends: Firstly, flavor innovation will continue to deepen. By exploring local distinctive flavors, conducting cross-border collaborations, and creating memorable "taste IPs", it will expand consumption scenarios while aligning with the trend of healthiness; Secondly, supply chain efficiency and cost control will become key factors. Enterprises need to utilize digital means to achieve flexible production, ensuring product quality and supply stability while maintaining price competitiveness; Thirdly, scene marketing and cultural empowerment will be upgraded. Integrating traditional festival elements with modern aesthetics, interactive experiences, and deepening the integration from packaging visuals to immersive consumption scenarios, it will strengthen brand emotional connection. Under the dual driving forces of consumption upgrade and the return of festival culture, the overall festive market is continuously evolving towards a higher value-added "experiential" model, "traditional-modern integration", and "healthiness".
