In 2017 China’s food market experienced many changes. According to a report released by the Boston Consulting Group and AliResearch , the upper-middle-class, affluent families and younger generations in China emerged to become the main consumer group and shaped food trends through their demand for quality, safe, and convenient products, and influenced marketing with their growing interest in food brands and original labeling.
