61、anagement and warehouse and logistics,to distribution network management.The Company is capable of performing independent operation of business in the market.For R&D and new products development model,the Company has an“entire design system”covering the whole process starting from customer value pro
62、position to product design,product mold to brand image design,incorporating trend-,theme and experience-oriented development model to develop new products with a comprehensive categories approach based on consumer insight.For manufacturing model,the Company uses the brand manufacturing model that fe
63、atures sales-driven production,in-house and OEM outsourcing.The Company has an independent system from raw material procurement to manufacturing and selling,and has established its brands in the market.We have the advantages from participating in the whole value chain from design,research and develo
64、ping,manufacturing and selling stationery.For sales model,based on features of stationery products and current situations of domestic stationery consumption,the Company has developed its sales model that relies on regional distributors,complemented by direct sales to offices 2B customers,direct-sale
65、 store,KA sales,online sales,as well as international distribution.We are the one of leading companies in Chinas stationery business that engage in large-scale brand sales management and franchise management.M&G Technologies mainly comprises of online businesses in Tmall and JD.Tmall business is M&G
66、 Technologies Tmall flagship store where customers can place orders.For the business on JD platform,it takes purchase order monthly based on inventory and shelf sales ratio,and responds to purchase order according to M&G Technologies actual inventory condition;after the order is confirmed,it will th
67、en be forwarded to the warehouse system where it then delivers goods to JD according to the confirmed purchase order.M&G Technologies is also responsible for online full platform marketing and management of authorized online stores.M&G retail store businesses include two store types:Jiumu stores and
68、 M&G Life stores.Targeting female consumers aged 15-29,Jiumu Stores primarily sell stationery,cultural and recreative products,educational and entertainment products,and daily household and home products.Jiumu stores are mostly located in high-quality shopping malls in prime urban districts.Jiumu st
69、ores represent the Companys ongoing exploration in new retail model in lifestyle products with a distinct cultural element.Jiumu Store started franchising in July 2018,where franchisees pay contract deposit and decoration fee according to contracts,and store rent,store staff salary,utilities and oth
70、er costs incurred in franchising stores.M&G Annual Report 2020 14/244 Life stores mainly target students aged 8-15,primarily selling stationery products.M&G Life stores mostly locate in Xinhua Bookstore and compound bookstores,M&G Life stores represent the Companys efforts to move beyond the dominan
71、t traditional channels of retail stationery shops nearby schools.In the direct office supplies service business,M&G Colipu provides governments,public institutions,Fortune Global 500 companies and other SMEs with cost-effective one-stop office supplies procurement service.M&G Colipu has a rich produ
72、ct offering,covering office supplies,MRO industrial products,marketing gifts,employee benefits and corporate services,more than one million products including office paper,office stationery,office supplies,office equipment,computers and accessories,digital and communications,office appliances,daily
73、necessities,labor protection industrial supplies,food and beverages,business gifts and office furniture.By shortening the supply chain,M&G Colipu provides customers with cost-effective procurement and customized value-added services.With changing demographics of China in particular the decreasing bi
74、rth rate,it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve revenue growth from unit volume growth in the future,and stationery industry growth is increasingly driven by consumption upgrade and product upgrade.The Companys traditional core businesses are challenged with changing demands from more individu
75、alized population born after 1990 and 2000.Stationery consumption in China is becoming more brand conscious,innovative,individualized and more premium.There is a clear growth in demand for better cultural and creative products,which accelerates industry transformation towards one with more cultural
76、and creative elements.M&G Technologies reflects channel diversification trend and helps the Companys omni-channel strategy by expansion of online business.Jiumu stores and M&G Life stores both serve as the Companys bridgehead to continue products and channels upgrading of its traditional core busine
77、sses,and they play an important role in promoting the Companys brands and products upgrade.M&G Colipus direct office supplies service business meets demands for purchasing office supplies from large corporations and institutions,which helps boosting the sales of writing instruments and office statio
78、nery of the Companys traditional core business.3.Major driver for revenue growth(1)Social transformation and consumption upgrade;(2)State investment in education;(3)Favorable policy environment for culture industry development;(4)Continued growth in household income;(5)Second-child policy;(6)Fragmen
79、ted industry with low concentration.2)Situations and features of industry where the Company operates,and industry status of the Company 1.Situations of industry where the Company operates According to Guidelines for the Industry Classification of Listed Companies(revised in 2012)issued by China Secu
80、rities Regulatory Commission,and results of industry classification of listed companies released by China Securities Regulatory Commission,the Company is classified to stationery,arts,sports and entertainment products industry.The Company is a member of China Stationery&Sporting Goods Association,an
81、d China Writing Instrument Association.During January-November 2020,revenue of Chinas stationery and office supplies industry amounted to RMB136.7 billion,representing a decline of 1%from the previous year,and total profits amounted to RMB7.9 billion,representing a fall of 11%from the previous year.
82、There were 1,033 enterprises above designated size in Chinas stationery and office supplies industry(Source:China Stationery&Sporting Goods Association).In 2020,212 member enterprises of China Writing Instrument Association recorded revenue from principal business of RMB14.5 billion,representing a d
83、ecrease of 11%from the previous year,and realized profits of RMB0.7 billion,representing a decline of 20%from the previous year.In 2020,writing instrument industry exports amounted to USD2.4 billion,down 16%from previous year.Affected by the pandemic,the demand for writing instruments decreased acro
84、ss the world,and export was severely hit in Annual Report 2020 15/244 2020,reaching the lowest point in the past ten years.The writing instrument industry imports amounted to USD800 million,up 1%from the previous year.(Source:China Writing Instrument Association)2.Features of the industry(1)Periodic
85、ity Writing instruments,student stationery and office supplies are less affected by economic fluctuations.With low unit price,writing instruments and student stationery are more of necessity goods with relatively low income elasticity,relatively less sensitive to economic fluctuations.(2)Seasonality
86、 There is seasonality in the demand for student stationery.Months before a new semester(summer and winter vacation)is what the stationery industry calls“schooling peak season”,during which sales of student stationery usually peaks.3.Development trend of the industry With the changes in the way of li
87、fe and consumption habit of consumers,Chinas retail industry entered a new stage of redevelopment and innovation.Stationery industry faces challenges with uncertainty of external environment,diversification of retail channels,and more individualized demands from main customers group(now being the po
88、st-90s and post-00s).With the changing demographics of China in particular the decreasing birth rate,stationery industry revenue growth comes less from by unit volume growth,and more from consumption upgrade and product upgrade.Domestic market demand for mid-to high-end stationery products keeps inc
89、reasing,reshaping market structure dominated by low-end products.This provides opportunities for mid-to high-end stationery products with better quality and higher price.Chinas population of 1.4 billion accounts for about 18%of global population,while leading stationery companies in China can contin
90、ue to mostly rely on the huge domestic market,they also have room for international expansion in international markets,which could reinforce each other under favorable conditions.Traditional retail stationery shops nearby school are still the dominant channel for Chinas stationery industry,and share
91、s of other retail formats are increasing faster.Sales terminals and channels of the industry are becoming more diversified,upgrading and competition in channels becomes more obvious.Domestic consumption for stationery in China becomes more brand conscious,innovative,individualized and more premium.T
92、here is a growing demand for premium cultural and creative products,stationery products are moving from those primarily focus on functionality towards those with more cultural and creative elements catering to customers.There are around thousands of stationery manufacturers in Chinas domestic statio
93、nery industry and the industry is quite decentralized.There are a few leading companies for most sub-category stationery products,with continued development in the stationery industry,there could be higher industry consolidation,and leading companies could gain larger market shares.The market of the
94、 direct office supplies service has been growing fast in China.According to industry research report,the scale of the market of broad office supplies(including office furniture,equipment and other office supplies)in China reached more than RMB1 trillion.Regulation on the Implementation of the Govern
95、ment Procurement Law of the Peoples Republic of China in 2015 explicitly requires that the state shall promote the utilization of information networks for carrying out digital government procurement.In 2019,the Notice on Promoting Fair Competition and Optimizing the Business Environment in Governmen
96、t Procurement clearly proposed to accelerate the promotion of electronic government procurement.With strong national policy supports,B2B office supplies procurement in China got a unique opportunity for rapid development.At present days,driven by favorable policies and leading large and medium-sized
97、 enterprises,various digital procurement service providers are entering the market,accelerating development of e-procurement with public purchasing.The continuous integration and development of public procurement and high technology has also promoted the development of public procurement towards mor
98、e professional,intelligent market-oriented and international.Annual Report 2020 16/244 During the pandemic,offline consumption was hindered,and consumption towards online accelerated.According to the National Bureau of Statistics,online retail sales across the country recorded RMB12 trillion in 2020
99、,a year-on-year increase of 11%.Leading consumer products companies seized opportunities of online consumption and achieved sustained growth through online and offline integration.Chinas digital economy accounts for 36%of the total economy(source:China Academy of Information and Communications Techn
100、ology).Data has become a new factor of production.Industrial digitization is becoming the main pillar of the digital economy.Traditional industries have gained growth momentum in the digital age.With smart technology and products upgrade,promotion of national education informatization and the develo
101、pment of the online education market,smart stationery products have developed rapidly in the past few years.Technology-empowered smart pens and smart books are widely adopted in online education,providing an increasingly better user experience.4.Company position in the industry As a leader of“own br
102、and+domestic demand”in Chinas stationery industry,the Company has a strong first-mover and leading advantage,with a wide and deep distribution network coverage in Chinas stationery market.At the end of the Reporting Period,the Company has a national distribution network covering over 80,000 retail s
103、tationery shops using the store sign“M&G Stationery”across China,enabling the Company to establish market leading position for its own brand products amidst competitions.The Company ranked first in“Top Ten Enterprises in Chinas Light Industry and Writing Instrument”for nine consecutive years.II.Expl
