Overall, prices are expected to experience a slight decline in 2024 due to various reasons. On the one hand, there is a downgrade in consumption, with consumers paying more attention to product quality, taste, and after-sales service, and placing greater emphasis on the quality price ratio in their pursuit of products. Often, big data is used to compare and choose products with greater advantages. Downgrading consumption does not mean only buying cheap goods and not buying expensive ones, but rather placing more emphasis on low-priced and high-quality products. Luxury goods, high-end products, and luxury goods are gradually being downgraded, and more consumers are starting to focus on cost-effectiveness and quality price ratio. To a certain extent, it reduces efficiency, experience, personality, taste, and mentality, achieving the highest level of quality and affordability. So on the one hand, this will also have an impact on the price of spring tea for Pu'er tea. In fact, not only in 2024, but also starting from 2022, many people have clearly felt this situation. Former customers have not stopped buying tea, they are also drinking it, and even buying more. Although the number of orders has increased, the unit price has significantly decreased. Tea merchants cannot make money, and with the arrival of spring tea, they have no choice but to sell as much as possible to recoup funds for spring tea. This has also led to a correction in the spring tea market. I believe that with the increase in spring tea sales, the market will continue to improve.
