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.

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.
