consumption”. Among them, the “post-90s” and “post-00s” have a significantly higher

respectively. It can be seen that young people are more aware of green consumption. At
the same time, more and more consumers are actively practicing green consumption by
purchasing green products and trading idle goods. According to the data from the Envi-
ronmental and Economic Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Envi-
ronment, the proportion of people who regularly purchase green products has increased
from less than 40% in 2020 to more than 60% in 2022. The “2023 China Consumption
Trend Report” also shows that 73.8% of consumers will give priority to green and envi-

the highest acceptance of premium for green products.

energy vehicles were newly registered nationwide, representing a year-on-year increase
of 41.6%. The sales volume, market share and ownership of new energy vehicles have
all reached record highs. In terms of green intelligent home appliances, the 28-hour
data of “June 18” in JD.COM this year showed that the turnover of some green intel-
ligent home appliances, such as power-saving air conditioners, ultra-thin embedded
refrigerators and intelligent integrated cooking stoves and baking machines, increased

green energy-saving appliances in Suning.cn both increased by more than 50% year-on-
year. In the second-hand commodity trading, the second-hand idle commodity trading
