Taking Boshi, Polaris, and Pioneer Snow Eagle as examples, they have developed snow-level jackets containing eVent technology fabrics, which has raised product professionalism to a higher level and provided users with a lot of choice and reference in terms of price.

In addition to functional needs, domestic brands also pay more attention to people’s emotional value satisfaction. For example, the pet economy, as a 100 billion consumption track with great companion value, attracts more and more domestic pet brands to enter the market. During 11.11 this year, domestic pet brands shone brightly. JD.com Jingzao defeated the traditional top brands in the pet staple food category. Among them, JD.com Jingzao freeze-dried double-spell full-price cat food 10kg fish flavor became a category explosion. With higher cost performance, domestic brand preserved eggs surpassed platinum diamonds to become the GMV champion in the cat litter category. With the rise of "Buddhist pet raising", after the automatic cat litter box and automatic feeder, the automatic pet drying box has also become one of the must-have products for pet owners. During 11.11, Homan Pet Drying Box Pro became the champion product in the pet cleaning and beauty category. In addition, intelligent fish tanks have also become the first choice for fish farmers. Aquarium products are the absolute advantage of domestic products, and the three major domestic fish tank brands of Mijia, Sensen and Chuangning cover the top 10 GMV categories.
