As Chinese traditional culture is increasingly valued by people, zongzi, a food carrying traditional culture, has gradually become the new favorite of the market, and sales are constantly increasing. In addition to having the function of seasonal food, the gift attributes of zongzi have attracted more and more attention. Gift zongzi such as gift box zongzi and welfare zongzi have gradually occupied a place in the gift market.

2. While revitalizing with the revival of traditional festival culture, zongzi is becoming more and more popular among consumers due to its unique taste and variety of characteristics. It has evolved from a landmark festival food for Dragon Boat Festival to a daily convenience food. Especially in East China such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, etc., zongzi has become one of the main breakfast and staple foods. At the same time, with the acceleration of the pace of modern life, zongzi has gradually enhanced its attributes as daily convenience foods due to its convenience and speed, and the boundaries between off-peak seasons are increasingly weakening, which has prompted the gradual expansion of its market size.

Industry companies have deployed online platforms such as Taobao, Tmall , JD , Suning , etc., and combined with big data technology to conduct precise marketing, and are closer to consumers, especially young consumers through taste innovation, IP joint branding, private customization, etc., making the Dragon Boat Festival "zongzi" culture move towards a young group.
