With the steady growth of household income in China, the emerging middle class has rapidly risen.

Its consumption growth rate exceeded 210% from last year. For average consumers, majority of online shopping items are still household-related commodities. Among them, daily necessities such as mother and baby, food, cosmetics and personal care, accounting for 84.77% of the total online consumption. Alcohol, toys, musical instruments, pet life and green plants and other products that favour the spirit of consumption accounted for only 15.23%

More than 60% of consumers under 35 years old want to embody the pursuit of personality when buying a product, and therefore consume a higher amount of per capita food such as pet staple and remote electric products. About 50% of consumers over the age of 36 want to buy the goods to better reflect its social status. Famous wines, tea, musical instruments and other commodities are the products with higher per capita consumption.
As online supermarkets began to fully integrate into family life, the number of female users who dominated household consumption in Chinese society increased significantly. The number of female new subscribers in JD.com reached an increase of 236.29% over the same period of last year, significantly higher than the 157.48% growth of the same period of previous year (August 2015 to July 2016).
Compared with male consumers, females are tend to influenced by user ratings, and various promotion strategies. At the same time, the stronger the spending power, the greater the scale of female consumption. Among top 10 most popular female purchasing categories, 8 are childcare, cleaning household, and personal healthcare related product.
It is also noted that the consumption behaviour of females leads a super sale of numbers of blue ocean products.

And new middle-class living styles such as pet grooming, drinking tea and nursing are prevailing.
