Nestl é launched a ready-to-drink coffee that can compete with freshly brewed coffee in convenience stores.
Chill at 4 °C, shake 8 times before drinking, and turn the coffee into a "mousse"-this is Nestl é's advice for its upcoming ready-to-drink coffee product, "Snow Carmousse" (Shakissimo). As a product aimed at young white-collar workers, Nestl é wants to make Xuekamos different from similar products on the market in terms of drinking methods.
Of course, there are more ways to attract young people. Nestl é has designed a silver bottle-shaped package for this new product. The curved design in the middle of the bottle is not only non-skid, but also convenient for you to shake before drinking. Arabica coffee beans such as 180ml coffee and New Zealand milk are used as raw materials and made with unique coffee production technology. at present, there are two flavors of "cappuccino" and "Italian flavor".
The new product, which has a retail price of 7 yuan, will go on sale in mid-late June and will first be promoted in key cities across the country, with convenience stores with most young consumers as the main sales channel.
In recent years, China's ready-to-drink coffee market has grown rapidly. According to Euromonitor, the market for instant coffee reached 5.487 billion yuan in 2014, an increase of 22% over the same period last year, and is expected to reach 9.193 billion yuan by 2017, equivalent to a growth rate of 67.5% in three years. Although the market share of instant coffee is still far away from instant coffee, which has the largest market share, at the current growth rate, the gap will be narrowing day by day, not to mention that the market share of instant coffee is already decreasing. Mintel, a consultancy, expects the share of instant coffee to fall by more than 5 percentage points to 66 per cent by 2019.
Nestl é is the undisputed leader in the Chinese market, whether instant coffee or instant coffee, accounting for more than 50% of the market. Since one side is shrinking, it is inevitable to increase investment on the other side. The launch of a new product priced at 7 yuan is one of the ways for the company to compete for more market share in the ready-to-drink coffee market.
Competition in the ready-to-drink coffee market is becoming increasingly fierce. In addition to Nestl é, Suntory, Unification, Kirin, including Coca-Cola, Wa, and Master Kang, who works with Starbucks, are also involved. With the launch of Xuekamu, Nestl é is trying to compete with these competitors in terms of price, packaging design, drinking style and even taste. It can not stop at the middle end (about 5 yuan) of silky latte and silky mocha coffee. The slightly higher-priced Snow Camos aims at the needs of middle and high-end consumer groups. It not only distances itself from the 4-5 yuan ready-to-drink coffee, such as Suntory latte, Coca-Cola Joya, Kirin Fire Coffee, but also is lower than the price of Starbucks bottled (16-25 yuan) instant coffee, while enriching Nestl é's own ready-to-drink coffee product line.
However, using convenience stores as the main channel means that while Nestl é competes with these competitors, it may also have to compete with convenience store-owned freshly brewed coffee.
Many convenience stores have also launched their own brand of freshly brewed coffee based on adding new products and expanding dining functions, priced at 8 yuan to 12 yuan. This caffeine is standardized, self-service, fresh and other features have also attracted some white-collar customers. Stores in Shanghai that sell freshly brewed coffee can sell 40 cups of coffee a day. Convenience stores such as Lawson, 7-Eleven and China Resources Vango are also very active in selling freshly brewed coffee.

Starbucks, which made Americans fall in love with coffee, did not make Americans fall in love with tea after all. According to US media reports, Starbucks has announced that it will close its four teahouses, Teavena Tea Bars, and keep only one in Seattle as a pilot. The official explanation given by a Starbucks spokesman is that the company can pool funds and resources to bring better to customers through Starbucks and Teavana retail stores.
