The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that the total retail sales of consumer goods in 2025 has exceeded 50 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.7% over the previous year. Various regions continue to innovate consumption scenarios, with multiple sub sectors such as culture, tourism, entertainment, and sports blooming. Silver haired economy, ice and snow economy, and interest consumption continue to heat up. While the consumer market is steadily growing, there is still enormous potential for consumption upgrading. Fully addressing the issue of supply and demand adaptation in the consumer sector will be an important part of tapping into market potential. Interest consumption is a consumer behavior based on personal interests, hobbies, or emotional needs, with the core being to pay for "love". With the post-90s and post-00s becoming the main consumers, new types of interest consumption such as camping equipment and figurines are rapidly emerging. On a weekday afternoon, a trendy toy store in Chaoyang District, Beijing is crowded with people. Popular trendy toys here are either sold out in seconds or have to queue up for pre-sales. Many consumers come to the store to watch out for their favorite items. The reporter learned that in addition to various types of doll figurines, some more specialized tracks such as doll clothes and pendants are also quietly gaining fans among young people. This trendy toy store, which only opened in December last year, specializes in dressing up dolls. The person in charge told reporters that the sales of baby clothes in the store have exceeded those of the dolls themselves, with sales exceeding 300000 yuan on the opening day alone. If dolls and clothing carry the pursuit of young people's interest in trends, then in Suzhou, Jiangsu, which is more than a thousand kilometers away, tourists' interest is directed towards the exquisite cultural and creative works in museums. During this period, in order to welcome the arrival of the Chinese zodiac Year of the Horse, Suzhou Museum has specially launched a doll inspired by its collection of cultural relics, which has captured the hearts of a large number of young consumers since its launch. It is reported that Suzhou Museum held about 20 exhibitions of various types and nearly 300 cultural and creative peripheral products throughout last year. The screen decoration refrigerator sticker can sell over 70000 units in a year, becoming a reliable sales champion. In recent years, consumers' expectations for museums have evolved from simply "viewing cultural relics" to "deep cultural experiences" and an increasing interest in "bringing museums home". The museum's cultural and creative design team is also constantly exploring the needs of visitors and seeking innovative expressions of traditional culture. According to the data of the Report on the Development of China's Fashion Play and Animation Industry, the total value of China's fashion play industry is expected to reach 110.1 billion yuan in 2026, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20%; The scale of the cultural and cultural derivatives market has also steadily increased for several consecutive years. From the rush buying frenzy in trendy small shops to the explosive cultural and creative products in museums, interest consumption is integrating into people's lives in diverse forms, injecting new momentum into the consumer market.
