In April 2025, the retail sales of furniture reached 15.3 billion yuan, up 26.9% year-on-year, with the year-on-year growth rate further increasing; the cumulative retail sales for the first four months reached 58.3 billion yuan, up 20.2% year-on-year. The national subsidy, as a long-term policy, is steadily advancing, pulling downstream retail data to continue to recover. As of April 27, 24:00, the cumulative "renewal" of home decoration kitchen and bathroom items reached 40.906 million pieces. Electric bicycles: The exchange for new ones is steadily advancing. As of April 29, 2025, the nationwide exchange of old electric bicycles for new ones exceeded 4.2 million units, significantly surpassing the total for 2024, equivalent to 304.3% of the total work volume in 2024. Since the work commenced in September 2024, a total of 5.58 million old and new bicycles have been sold nationwide; as of April 13, the exchange program for electric bicycles has driven new car sales of 10.12 billion yuan. **Packaging: Stable downstream demand, aluminum prices have rebounded** In April 2025, China's total retail sales of consumer goods reached 37.174 billion yuan, up 5.1% year-on-year; from January to April 2025, the cumulative total retail sales of consumer goods reached 161.845 billion yuan, up 4.7% year-on-year. Among them, the retail sales of enterprises above designated size for beverages/tobacco and alcohol/cosmetics/daily necessities in April 2025 increased year-on-year by 2.9%/4.0%/7.2%/7.6%, indicating overall growth in downstream demand. On the cost side, as of May 23, 2025, the aluminum settlement price was 2,437 yuan/ton, with a month-on-month change of +4.70%, influenced by short-term fluctuations in supply and demand. **Light industry consumption** The LABUBU series is booming, and BLOKS is expected to join the Hong Kong Stock Connect in June. According to POP MART's 2024 financial report, the LABUBU plush trendy toy THEMONSTERS series surged from 368 million yuan in 2023 to 3.04 billion yuan in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 726.6%, with a monthly production capacity reaching 10 million units, becoming POP MART's largest IP, and recent market sales have been robust.
