China Coffee Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2023 – 2030

China’s Coffee Market is Expected to Grow at a Significant Growth Rate, and the Forecast Period is 2023-2030, Considering the Base Year as 2022.

After the US, China is the second-largest consumer market for coffee worldwide. Numerous factors, such as the rising disposable income of Chinese consumers, the expanding popularity of coffee shops, and the growing knowledge of coffee's health advantages, are driving the expansion of the Chinese coffee market. Although the Chinese coffee business is still in its infancy, it has great potential to expand over the next several years. International brands now control the majority of the industry, although more and more local coffee businesses are starting to appear.

The Chinese coffee market has a promising future. The market is expected to grow significantly over the next several years due to an increase in the number of people who consume coffee and a rise in the demand for high-quality coffee products. While indigenous coffee chains are starting to make a name for themselves, international brands will still be very important in the industry.

Asia Pacific Coffee Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2023 – 2030

Asia Pacific Coffee Market Size Was Valued at USD 23,604.39 Million in 2022, and is Projected to Reach USD 33,184.28 Million by 2030, Growing at a CAGR of 4.35% From 2023-2030.

The coffee market offers two types of coffee: instant coffee, which just needs hot water added, and roast coffee, which is made with whole beans and ground coffee and made with coffee makers or French presses. Ready-to-Drink (RTD) coffee beverages are not included here; instead, they are displayed separately in the Non-Alcoholic Drinks sector.

In recent years, the Asia Pacific coffee market has experienced significant expansion and change due to the region's growing population, rising urbanization rates, and rising demand for specialty coffee. Australia, South Korea, Japan, and China are just a few of the major consumer nations that have risen to support the market's growth.

Consumer preferences in this sector have shifted in favor of specialty and premium coffee variants. Specialty coffees are becoming more and more popular among a wide range of consumers thanks to the emergence of coffee culture, which places an emphasis on superior beans and unusual brewing techniques.

The expansion of independent cafes and coffee shop chains in metropolitan areas has also fueled the market's growth by promoting a thriving coffee culture and encouraging experimentation with various coffee blends and flavors.

Notable breakthroughs have also been made in local manufacture in certain Asia-Pacific countries. Vietnam and Indonesia, for example, have made a name for themselves as major producers of coffee, supplying both the domestic market and the world at large. In addition, there has been a surge in the adoption of sustainability efforts and ethical sourcing techniques, which has impacted consumer preferences and the market environment

For my project this week, I thought it would be fun to make a girl that would typically live in the city. As the girls aesthetic is bold reds and blacks the background I choose is the complete opposite. It is colorful and full of life just like how a bustling city filled with opportunity is in real life.

Attendance:

1. Beret: the beret hat originates from the Basque region, which spans the French and Spanish border. Traditionally, the Basque berets were made from wool that would felt when exposed to rain, creating a snug cap. Felted wool is very practice due to its warmth and water resistance. https://pieceworkmagazine.com/history-of-the-beret/#:~:text=The%20beret%2Dstyle%20hat%20has,warm%20but%20also%20water%20resistant

2. Kiwi: I learned that the kiwi fruit originated in Yangtze Valley in central China. Historically, they were valued for their nutritional and medicinal properties and remain a local delicacy.

3. Pear: in the article I read I found this specifically to be interesting. In the Odyssey, the Greek poet praises pears as a gift from the gods. In Roman mythology, Pomona, the goddess of fruit, held a revered place in the pantheon, and Roman farmers recorded advanced techniques for pear cultivating and grafting.

4. Red lipstick: over 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, red lipsticks were made from crushed gemstones. Later, ingredients like red algae and fish scales were used. The first molded lipsticks, similar to today’s were invented by Abu Al-Qasim Al-Zahrawi during the Islamic Golden Age.

5. Shopping bags: in 1871, Margaret E. Knight invented a machine for flats bottomed paper bags, improving capacity. In 1883, Charles Stilwell’s machine added pleated sides for easier folding and storage.

6. Perfume: perfumes date back thousands of years, used in ancient Egypt, Rome, Mesopotamia, and Persia for hygiene, ceremonies, and as symbols nobility.

7. Starbucks: Starbucks began in 1971 in Seattle’s Pike Place Market offering roasted coffees and teas. The shop quickly became a global sensation.

8. Bag charms: I learned that in the Neolithic Era leather bracelets were decorated with bone, shell, wood, and other materials as early forms of personal style. In ancient Egypt, these charms evolved into symbols of protection and good luck. Today they are still used to show off personal style.

Chapter 02

CW: mentions of anxiety, depression, and social anxiety, commentary on the industry, Hyunjin being a menace to Jisung, political commentary (?)

a/n: thank you so much for everyone who read the last chapter and for everyone's feedback. As always, taglist is open, feedback is appreciated, English is not my first language so sorry if there are any mistakes.

Y/N's POV

“A what?” I asked, unbelieving of my company’s director’s words, my voice cracking mid-sentence like a teenager.

After finishing my recording, me and Jiah went straight back to the company for the meeting with the director as scheduled. I was expecting anything but that.

“I know this is something new, but the government is studying to change a few things in the industry. And that includes things related to the idols’ image” the man said, unfazed by the idea.

Choi Hyunjae, the company’s director and founder, was a young man with a young mind. He founded the company as only a producing company. He wanted to create music with intent, with meaning. After a while, he decided to release a few artists under the company’s name, none of them in the K-pop industry. Not that they weren’t good, quite the opposite, it’s just that the industry wasn’t their goal, it never was. These artists, just like me and Hyunjae, wanted to put their art into the world while still being themselves.

Director Choi was the one who contacted me first, I was losing my hope of working in music back then, already getting a job at a local gimbap restaurant as a waitress. But one day he recognized me and asked if I wanted to work for him, just as a lyricist and producer. “If you don’t want to go back to stages that’s up to you, I just think is a shame the world to lose such an amazing writer as you, your lyrics are emotionally raw and I know a lot of people enjoy your music” was what he said to me back then, leaving me with a few days to think about and decide.

After signing the contract with his company, I worked for months writing and producing, but even though I loved doing that, I missed the chaos, the buzzing, the screams, the thrill of being on stage, the lights on you as you pour your heart out. So eventually I went back to doing my thing.

“But don’t you think a PR relationship is a step too big?” it was Jiah’s turn to speak, her voice calm, but I knew she was as lost as me. “Why this sudden change in the business model? This feels a little bit like a trap”.

“With the rising pressure of the US in the country and the recent break of the political and commercial alliance with China, the minister thinks is better to try to change a little bit” the man spoke again, his relaxed state showing he seemed rather stoked with the idea. “According to the minister, and I have to agree with the old man here, if they are going to keep focusing on the international market, they need to change the international view on our rules” he took a sip of his coffee, and leaned on his table, hands crossing. “The regular public already has a rather romanticized vision of our artists, but we need to prove we are like this, especially with the number of foreigners coming to the country”.

“But isn’t that even more unfair? These girls come here expecting something they won’t have” I spoke, that I was the worst part of my job, being part of this scheme, of this play-pretend. “And I get K-pop is dated and the fans are even more aware of the industry, but why not start with something simple like letting us be ourselves? And most importantly, why me?”

“Because you are our little chain-breaker, the odd one, and because the fuzz with Lee Ryuk gave them the perfect opportunity to test it out. That is, if you want to, I won’t force you to do anything” Director Choi smiled.

“Let’s say I accept the deal,” I said, my hands getting sweaty with anxiety once again that day, “what will I get with this?”

“Who will be her boyfriend?” that was a very good question. Who would accept this suicide mission?

Considering this could majorly affect anyone’s career, the most I’d get would be probably an idol from a small nugu group, or a small soloist. And even then, I would already consider myself lucky if anyone accepted this. I saw what happened before, idols being kicked out of their groups, and if not, having their so-called fans demanding their expulsion, sending death threats, giving black oceans at concerts. It wasn’t an easy change. It was something that needed to be done with time, little by little. Yet, that change was being given to me, put on my lap. I had the power to, at least try, to change the industry I was in.

“Once you accept, we will have two weeks to collect candidates” Hyunjae spoke. “You both would also get even more security, trained soldiers from the actual army, as well as psychological support”.

“Psychological support? They really are trying to change things up” Jiah sounded a little ironic.

“Actually, that was something I asked for, I won’t risk the mental well-being of my artist or anyone else”.

“Of course it was you, the government would never care about us” I rolled my eyes, arms crossing on top of my chest.

“I know it’s scary, but just know I’ll be here with you throughout all of this” director Choi squeezed my forearm gently, a soft smile on his lips. “And, again, you don’t need to accept. It’s up to you. I‘ll give you a few days to think if you need it, ok? Talk to your therapist, talk to Jiah, your friends, take your time”.

I simply nodded not knowing how to act or even respond. I took a deep breath. What did I want? I didn’t know. To be honest, I was very scared of the idea, it was a big commitment, not only for me, or the company, but also for the entire industry and the future of it. What if even with the psychological support I couldn’t handle it? What if the person was even worse than Ryuk? What if no one signed for it? There were so many questions in my head.

The whole ordeal scared me more than I expected, and how wouldn’t it? When I entered the doors of the company I expected everything but that. Deep down I wished I had only to write a stupid handwritten note apologizing and saying that me and Ryuk were only good friends. But to sign a PR relationship contract was never in my mind.

“Again YN, you have complete freedom to say no. Now go home and rest, Jiah and I cleared your schedule” the man got up from his chair, and I followed his gesture. He held me gently by my shoulders. “You know you are our little kid here in the company and I see you as my own kid. That being said, I would never put you in something I feel like it would be bad for you” I nodded as he hugged me. “Now go, I have to deal with a fucking plagiarism again, seem like that company loves our music, doesn’t it?” I giggled knowing exactly what he was talking about.

Me and Jiah left the building and went straight to our apartment, even after years we still lived together. Not only did it cut costs on our living, but also was very convenient. But also because I hated living alone.

The ride to our apartment was quiet, the radio playing some soft tune that I didn’t care to recognize, while the radio in my brain kept playing the director’s words over and over again. Sometimes the radio turned into a theater and started to play my most anxious thoughts. I tried to close the curtains, but it was hard, my apocalyptic thoughts taking over.

What if? what if? WHAT IF? WHAT IF? WHAT IF?

“I know that head of yours is already full of bullshit” it was the first words that came out of JIah’s mouth as soon as we entered the apartment. She knew me so well. “Go straight to the bathroom, make yourself a warm bath with the most relaxing bath bombs and bath salts you can find, put on that playlist that quiets down your brain, and while that I’ll make us a delicious lunch, okay?”

“Yes, mom” even with the irony in my tone, I was already taking my clothes off and grabbing my speaker.

Han’s POV

The people on the street already started to leave the establishments, feet stumbling, too drunk for their own good. The doors closing and leaving only the workers inside, the lights lighting the dark starless night sky as I watched Seoul slowly starting to go to sleep as I envied them, their simple, normal, and seemly easy life.

I loved comeback season as much as I hated it. I loved the creative part, the writing, the recording, the producing, the practicing with the boys. I loved all of this. I like that even on the hardest days we manage to have fun with each other. This was the fun part.

What I hated the most was the public presentations, the pressure of doing everything perfectly, the nerve of having to remember the lyrics and dance moves and maintain myself calm, having to deal with the swarm of people and camera flashes and sasaengs and still smile like nothing affected my mental state. Not to mention having to interact with some people as fake as their nose bridges and waists, and sometimes people that I admired. Like today, when I almost made a fool out of myself in front of one of my absolute role models.

“Earth to Jisung~ah” Minho, who always seems to notice when I’m too much into my brain, took me out of my inner monologue. “Are you okay?” he asked, hand on my shoulder as Felix and Hyuinjin happily talked about their interaction with Viviz in the front seats. I nodded in automatic mode, not sure if I was really okay. “Are you sure?”

The thing about Minho is that we have a really strong bond, which means we get along, but also means he knows how to read all my signs. Good or bad.

“I’m just a little tired, that’s all” I said, which wasn't a lie, I had the tendency of closing myself in my own world when I was tired or overwhelmed. Or both. As Jeongin liked to call it ‘when my brain got smoother than raw chicken breasts’.

“You do know we have dinner with manager-nim now, right?”

“More like breakfast, it’s literally 2AM” the older one rolled his eyes, always the loving one. “I know I just hoped I could say I’m not feeling well and go to bed”.

“As if that ever worked” even though it made me want to sulk and pout like a little kid he was right, that never worked, for any of us. Never.

Another of the worst parts of this job is that it wasn’t just a job, it was almost a life sentence, 24/7 locked in this cage, in this zoo, where people from all around the world looked at you, watched you perform, clapped at you but didn’t seem to see the pile of dirt and whatever fetid and putrid things you can imagine behind me. The pieces of my own skin and life I was leaving bit by bit in that pile.

It has been almost two weeks that I haven't had more than three hours of sleep per day. Living on coffee mixed with Pepsi mixed with energy drinks, and pills to keep us awake (that I wouldn’t be surprised if had some type of illegal drug in it). Thank god I didn’t need to diet much seeing that I worked out a lot, because if on top of all that I had to cut food income, I wouldn’t be here today.

“Does this meeting have to be today?” I threw my head back, a low groan leaving my lips, disappointment clear.

“What is Jisung complaining about now?” It was Hyunjin’s voice. I rolled my eyes, an old habit.

“He’s just tired, you know how he gets when he’s like that” Minho answered for me, his hand caressing my hair and I allowed myself to relax for the first time in so long. When was the last time someone touched my hair?

A low satisfied groan left my lips and the boys chuckled.

“You need a partner, Sungie” Felix spoke, and even though I couldn’t see due to my eyes being closed enjoying Minho’s playing with my hair I knew he turned his body to look at me with a smile on his face. “You’ve been pretty stressed lately, you need someone to talk to, to confide to, to play with your hair…”

“To wet your cookie on…” Hyunjin complemented and laughed at his joke.

“As if you’re getting some yourself” I responded a little ruder that I intended but sometimes it seemed that sex was all that he thought about.

He was about to answer with a witty response when his phone rang. By the responses he was giving it was our manager on the other line, probably mad that we were late or some. But I couldn’t be less bothered about it.

I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of Minho’s fingertips, now completely stilled, on top of my head, the heaviness of them making home on my scalp as I drifted off to sleep.

I dreamed of me, my future partner, and our kids living a secluded life on a farm with a bunch of animals.

Migrant workers are struggling to get a nibble as they fish for labourious work. Photo: Henry Wong

This is the second story in a three-part series about China’s employment environment, from migrant workers and fresh graduates to new job sources and the private sector.

For less than a cup of coffee at most major chains, a migrant worker in a major Chinese city can rent a bed for the night. But oftentimes, that is contingent on finding work and getting paid that day.

In the southeastern outskirts of Beijing, amid a record-breaking heatwave scorching the capital, migrant workers starved of both food and jobs still venture out to make a living in the sweltering sun.

Wang Ke, 36, is among those who haven’t had a full stomach in a while. He and his band of fellow job-hunters never pass up a chance to ask people, “Do you need workers?”

But the group too often returns in disappointment, wondering again when they might get their next meal, and if they will even have a roof over their head that night. Beds generally cost between 25 yuan (US$3.45) and 30 yuan a night.

“A job comes by only every few days, and a group of people rush to seize it,” Wang, originally from the central province of Henan, said from Majuqiao, once the capital city’s largest labour service market, where employment agencies and recruiters shout out menial job offerings on the street, paying usually about 100 yuan (US$13.80) or so a day.

“I am willing to work any kind of odd job, but I haven’t had any luck in four days. Ninety per cent of the people here are like me. No one can make money here; being able to fill my stomach would be the most beautiful thing ever.”

People like Wang can only wander the streets at night, finding vacant places to sleep wherever they can, changing locations several times a night to areas without people – safer areas with less chance of unwanted interactions.

The current need for migrant workers may serve as a barometer for the recovery of China’s economic activities, which has gradually lost steam amid a property slump, dwindling export demand holding back China’s manufacturing sector, and dampened confidence among consumers and investors.

China’s factory activities contracted for a third straight month in June, further putting pressure on the world’s largest exporter of goods.

“The most direct reason is there aren’t jobs that suit them, as Beijing is relieved of functions non-essential to its role as China’s capital, many labour-intensive industries have moved out of Beijing, and the labour opportunities have left with them,” said Yuan Xin, a demography professor at Nankai University in Tianjin.

Beijing has been pushing for the removal of “non-essential institutions” from China’s capital to the Xiongan New Area in neighbouring Hebei province. And many lower-end manufacturing businesses have taken the brunt, slashing the need for migrant workers without technical skills.

“We are even worse off than beggars,” Wang added. “Beggars can ask for help, while we are too ashamed, and many resort to rummaging through garbage bins to survive.”

China had around 296 million migrant workers at the end of 2022, and in the first quarter of this year, their average monthly income dropped to 4,504 yuan, from a monthly average of 4,615 yuan last year, according to official statistics.

In quantifiable terms, that lost income could represent three more nights that a migrant worker spends on the streets every month, in situations comparable to Wang’s.

But the data can hardly depict the bleakness of work prospects for the older generations of migrants, who are often too old to be office-building security guards, electronics factory workers, or perhaps amusement park staff. And they’re often rejected outright for jobs that necessitate fast learning, or when a company wants staff to appear younger.

And for many migrant workers, almost exclusively rural residents, there is no end in sight to their work, as they will not be able to retire, due to a lack of savings and limited pension coverage.

No one wants to go home without having made money. Who wouldn’t want to return home with glory and triumph? Wang Ke, migrant jobseeker

Despite bleak economic growth and sluggish factory activities last year due to China’s draconian zero-Covid measures, the conditions gave rise to a surge in demand for temporary workers, including security guards, workers for Covid testing booths, and delivery workers – all of which paid relatively well, sometimes more than 10,000 yuan a month, enabling migrant workers to cash in.

“As soon as the pandemic [control measures] ended, it became difficult to find jobs,” said another migrant worker, in his forties, who declined to be identified. It had been two weeks since he found work.

“Loading work pays 150 yuan for 12 hours, and you have to bring your own meals. Even some big enterprises pay less than Beijing’s minimum wage,” which is just over 25 yuan an hour.

Before the pandemic, Wang worked in Zhejiang province and owned his own business, was a sales manager at China Mobile, and led a large team of security guards.

After nationwide restrictions were lifted, Wang decided to test his luck in Beijing. And he’s not ready to throw in the towel yet.

“No one wants to go home without having made money. Who wouldn’t want to return home with glory and triumph? ‘Until one arrives in Beijing, one does not realise the insignificance of their position,’ I want to check it out,” he said.

Meanwhile, younger temporary workers – mostly students working summer holidays – have more opportunities. But this year, as the number of youth seeking odd jobs has increased, the monthly wage has shrunk in Beijing.

“This year there are more students looking for jobs, as last year they were all locked down at home,” said a recruiting agent for youthful temporary workers, surnamed Li, whose company is near Majuqiao.

Because students can work for such short periods – often just a handful of weeks – they have less leverage to negotiate and are often paid less.

Li said the monthly compensation for stage construction workers is about 3,500 yuan this year, including bed and board, for 12 hours a day, 30 days a month, with no breaks. That’s down from the 3,800 yuan monthly average last year.

That sort of difference could equate to not sleeping in a bed nine times a month.

Further illustrating the rising struggle among jobseekers, particularly young adults, is the youth unemployment rate, which has lately been setting record highs on a monthly basis.

The jobless rate in the 16-24 age group has been on an upward trajectory since 2020 and is expected to rise further in July and August, as a record 11.58 million university graduates are set to leave campus and flood the job market this year, posing a challenge to Beijing’s post-coronavirus recovery efforts.

Factories offer about 15 to 17 yuan per hour for [temporary workers this year], down from last year’s 18 to 20 yuan Recruitment agent, Guangdong province

In May, the jobless rate among that younger demographic hit a record of 20.8 per cent, up from the previous high of 20.4 per cent in April.

The overall urban surveyed jobless rate in May, however, remained unchanged from April at 5.2 per cent. June’s figures should be released in a couple of weeks.

In the manufacturing hubs of southern China, demand for such young workers also remains ample, but incomes have declined compared with last year, due to a reduction in the overtime working hours at small and medium-sized enterprises.

“Factories offer about 15 to 17 yuan per hour for [temporary workers this year], down from last year’s 18 to 20 yuan,” according to a recruitment agent in Guangdong surnamed Li, who declined to give her full name.

While exporting manufacturers cut full-time workers and hire more temporary workers instead, to save operating costs, the cost of living expenses have barely changed, including food and accommodation.

“The main labour force in my factory is now mainly temporary workers. I pay them about 260 yuan a day for over 12 hours of work,” said Wang Jie, a manufacturer of parts for boots and shoes, in Guangdong’s Dongguan city.

He said that to save costs, he had cut most of his full-time workers to less than 20, down about two-thirds from last year,

“Before the epidemic, we used to be paid 7,000 yuan [a month] or more in peak seasons [for at least 60 hours per week], but now we make about 5,000 yuan, including a free meal,” said a worker at a listed electrical company in Guangzhou.

She also talked about how factories in migrant workers’ hinterland hometowns are seeing longer off-season stretches, making them hard to rely on for a living, which drives workers elsewhere, with wide-reaching economic implications.

“We all cherish the stable employment, especially when we hear that more and more SMEs nearby are cutting jobs,” she said.

Elsewhere, in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, sources say factories are finding it much easier to recruit temporary workers this year – even in the last couple of months as the year has gone on, and workers are generally more reluctant to leave a job midyear.

Lu Zhou, an operations director at an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) factory in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, expressed a similar assessment in his province.

In May or June of previous years, most labourers worked for fixed factories in Jiangsu, and it was very difficult to recruit workers at this time, but this year it’s been easy, he said.

“The labour cost … is about 8,000 yuan per worker. Workers can get about 5,000 yuan a month, working at least 60 hours a week, after the social security contribution,” Lu said. “One obvious change is that this year’s social security contributions [such as social insurance and taxes] have risen again.

“Many workers are reluctant to pay [into social security], and that feeling is stronger now than in previous years. Many workers probably expect that social welfare will become inadequate in a future ageing society.”

Artistic Devotion – A Journey Through Horror And Success With Red Candle Games

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/artistic-devotion-a-journey-through-horror-and-success-with-red-candle-games/

Artistic Devotion – A Journey Through Horror And Success With Red Candle Games

Scaring players has helped put the small team at Red Candle Games on the map. Its first two titles, Detention and Devotion, impressed and terrified fans with frighteningly strong horror chops, but the team is leaving that behind to tackle something completely different in Nine Sols. This side-scrolling action platformer blends sci-fi with Chinese mythology and is Red Candle’s most ambitious project yet. This significant step forward affords an opportunity to look back on the studio’s young history, so we spoke with co-founder Vincent Yang to learn about how a small band of gamers in Taiwan formed one of the industry’s most promising – and, at one time, controversial – indie studios.

Red Candle Games began in 2014 when designer Coffee Yao was developing a prototype for Detention. The side-scrolling horror game features two students exploring a haunted high school in 1960s Taiwan, incorporating local cultural references rarely seen in games. These elements drew the attention of Henry and Light Wang during an indie developer meetup in Taipei. According to Yang, Detention impressed the Wangs enough for them to join the project. As the game grew in scope, the three recruited help from mutual friends – Doy Chiang, Hans Chen, and Yang himself – bumping the yet-to-be-named team to six members by late 2015. After working remotely on Detention for a period, the group decided a physical office was necessary, which led to the official formation of Red Candle Games.

Detention was released on Steam in January 2017 and was well-received by critics and players. The game has since been ported to multiple platforms and even adapted into a live-action film in 2019 (it premiered in the U.S. in 2021). Additionally, Netflix and Taiwan’s Public Television Service released a Detention TV show in 2020 – though with a different story from the movie.

Devotion

Red Candle followed this success with Devotion, an atmospheric first-person horror game set within a haunted apartment. Moving from 2D to 3D development is a big design shift, but Yang believes regularly changing gears like this is necessary to maintain fan interest.

“Because in this ever-changing and competitive gaming market, we often find it difficult to impress the players by applying the same techniques repeatedly, which pushes us to keep delivering new and innovative ideas,” Yang says. “This, in turn, changes the way we make games.”

After over two years of work, Devotion arrived on Steam in February 2019 to heaps of praise from the lucky players who managed to get their hands on it. But only two days after its launch, the game riled up controversy among Chinese players thanks to a piece of in-game art mocking China’s president, Xi Jinping, by calling him Winnie the Pooh, referencing an internet meme that unfavorably compares the leader’s appearance to the character. China and Taiwan have a tense relationship, so the resulting backlash from the country’s players and the government was severe enough to force Red Candle to pull Devotion from sale. The game’s Chinese publisher even lost its business license.

To the dismay of horror enthusiasts, Devotion remained delisted for over two years. Inklings of hope would occasionally arise, such as PC storefront GOG announcing plans to re-sell the game before it immediately back-peddled due to vaguely defined player complaints. Fortunately, Red Candle finally began re-selling Devotion directly through its website in March 2021, bringing its tumultuous journey to an end. Red Candle could move forward. “As a team, we felt relieved, as if a heavy weight was lifted from our shoulders,” says Yang.

Moving forward meant stepping away from horror to do something different. Enter Nine Sols, which Red Candle started working on a few months before Devotion’s original launch. Yang says the game originates from a concept he envisioned years prior based on the story of Hou Yi. In Chinese mythology, Hou Yi is a legendary archer who used his bow to rescue the country from plagues and saved the moon during an eclipse, among other supernatural feats. Yang proposed reworking this story into a science fiction tale, an idea that intrigued his teammates.

Nine Sols unfolds in the realm of New Kunlun, a sanctuary for humans created by nine god-like rulers. However, the population is unaware of New Kunlun’s sinister true purpose. That changes when a child awakens Yi, a cat-like hero that history has forgotten. Yi embarks on a quest to slay the nine rulers and free New Kunlun. The adventure sports a manga-inspired hand-drawn art direction blending cyberpunk/sci-fi with Chinese fantasy and Taoism. Gameplaywise, Nine Sols is a fast-paced 2D Metroidvania with Souls-like combat, as players hack apart enemies using Yi’s sword and parry attacks in a manner directly influenced by Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

The project is a gamble, as the team leaves its comfort zone to make its first action platformer. Yang says with its art assets, gameplay mechanics, levels, animations, and 12-15 hour length, Nine Sols is the studio’s biggest title yet. But the team needed to do something different to avoid feeling burned out on horror while also taking advantage of the flexibility its team size affords.

Red Candle Games’ upcoming Nine Sols pays homage to the Chinese myth of Hou Yi, and features a manga-inspired art style

“Being an indie developer, in a way, makes us more versatile and gives us more room to be creative, meaning we have the privilege to experiment on different topics and gameplay,” Yang says. “It’s then reasonable that we want to leverage that versatility and explore other possibilities wherever we have the chance.”

Nine Sols is Red Candle’s first action game, but it’s leveraging its narrative chops to craft what Yang hopes will be a compelling story filled with rich lore to create what he describes as “a new kind of action platformer” – one with equal emphasis on engaging gameplay and storytelling.

Detention

Nine Sols also marks the team’s most serious attempt at penetrating the Western market. Detention and Devotion, despite their success, still appeal to relatively niche audiences. On the other hand, Nine Sols combines two very popular subgenres, and Yang hopes that results in the game making the biggest splash possible overseas and putting the studio on more people’s radars.

Nine Sols is currently slated to launch in Q1 2024, but curious players can play a free Steam demo. Depending on its success, the title could be a launch pad for other experiences that don’t focus exclusively on frightening players.

“If given the opportunity, I think we’d love to explore other genres in the future,” says Yang. “Deep down, we are simply a group of game creators who love all kinds of games. So as long as we ensure the product we produce will have guaranteed quality and doesn’t disappoint our current and future supporters, I find no reasons for us to be locked into the horror genre.”

As for Red Candle’s future, Yang believes maintaining its small size has its benefits. Since Devotion’s launch, only three new employees have joined, while one has left, meaning the studio has grown from 11 to 13 full-time staff members. While he’s happy with the advantages of running a small team – smoother communication and more room to experiment – he’s not opposed to expanding the studio’s size if needed. “I envision us as a resilient team that can embrace and adapts to any possible changes regardless of our size,” Yang says.

Nine Sols is the biggest test yet for the studio, eschewing almost everything that brought it success in an attempt to broaden its appeal by tackling a competitive genre. But Red Candle Games has proven its ability, resiliency, and versatility over its relatively young existence. We’re excited to see how it continues to delight – or terrify – its fans going forward.

Oat-based Beverage Market: Future Outlook and Growth Prospects in the Plant-Based Drink Industry

The global oat-based beverage market has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer demand for plant-based alternatives to traditional dairy products. With concerns over health, the environment, and sustainability, consumers are shifting towards oat-based beverages as a healthier and eco-friendly option. This transition is expected to gain momentum in the coming years, with the market's future outlook being shaped by key drivers such as innovation, increased availability, and growing consumer awareness.

Key Market Drivers

The future of the oat-based beverage market is bright, fueled by a number of factors. The rise of plant-based diets is one of the major driving forces behind this expansion. As more individuals adopt vegan, vegetarian, and lactose-free lifestyles, oat-based beverages serve as a perfect alternative to traditional dairy drinks. Furthermore, oats are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them an attractive choice for health-conscious consumers.

Another crucial factor driving growth is the increasing environmental concerns associated with the production of dairy. Oats have a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to animal-based products, which makes oat beverages more appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. Brands are also focusing on sustainable practices in their production processes, such as using eco-friendly packaging and minimizing water usage.

Technological Innovations and Product Diversification

Innovation plays a key role in shaping the future of the oat-based beverage market. With a focus on creating a diverse range of products, companies are introducing new flavors, textures, and formulations to cater to evolving consumer preferences. These innovations are not only enhancing the taste experience but also improving the nutritional profile of oat-based drinks. For example, many brands are fortifying their beverages with added protein, calcium, and vitamin D, making them even more competitive with dairy alternatives.

Product diversification is also crucial for growth. Oat-based drinks are no longer just available in plain or sweetened varieties but are now offered in various flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, and even coffee. In addition to traditional beverages, companies are expanding into other product categories like oat-based ice creams, yogurts, and even plant-based coffee creamers. This diversification ensures that the oat beverage market remains dynamic and responsive to changing consumer preferences.

Regional Growth Potential

The oat-based beverage market is showing tremendous growth potential across various regions. North America, particularly the United States, is one of the leading markets for plant-based drinks, including oat-based beverages. In Europe, the trend toward plant-based diets has been growing steadily, with countries like Sweden and the UK being key players in the market.

Asia-Pacific, particularly China and Japan, holds significant promise for the future. As these countries experience increasing adoption of plant-based alternatives, the demand for oat-based beverages is expected to grow rapidly. Additionally, India, with its large vegetarian population and rising health consciousness, is also emerging as a potential market for oat beverages.

Challenges and Opportunities

While the future outlook for the oat-based beverage market is positive, there are challenges that need to be addressed. One of the main obstacles is the availability and cost of oats. As demand for oats increases, supply chain issues and price fluctuations may affect the affordability and consistency of oat-based beverages.

On the other hand, these challenges also present opportunities for innovation in oat production and sourcing. Brands that can overcome supply chain barriers and ensure a steady supply of high-quality oats will be better positioned to thrive in this competitive market.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the future of the oat-based beverage market looks promising, with significant growth opportunities driven by evolving consumer preferences, health-conscious choices, environmental sustainability, and product diversification. As innovation continues to reshape the industry, the market is likely to expand into new regions, and oat-based beverages will continue to play a key role in the shift toward plant-based diets.

China embraces world economy with unswerving opening-up

Mohan, a small town in the southernmost part of southwest China’s Yunnan Province, reached a trade milestone last month, with over 10 million tonnes of freight, including fresh fruits, coffee, air conditioners and new-energy vehicles, transported on the China-Laos Railway over the previous three years.

Since the launch of the 1,035 km rail line in December 2021, Mohan has become an important transport hub with significant highway and railway ports. Also, it’s the only national-level land port linking China and Laos, with new development opportunities mushrooming.

The story of Mohan is a telling example of China’s unwavering high-level opening-up. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 75 years ago, China has achieved leapfrog development in opening wider to the world.

Confident that opening-up is the right path, China has been implementing proactive strategies, including spurring trade growth, attracting foreign investment and expanding institutional opening-up, to accelerate cultivating new international competitive advantages and achieving mutual benefits with other countries.

BOLSTERING FOREIGN TRADE, INVESTMENT

In 1950, China’s foreign trade in goods was only 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 0.9 percent of the world’s total. By 2023, China’s total goods trade had reached 5.9 trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for 12.4 percent of the global share, and has consistently ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years.

Service trade has also undergone tremendous expansion. When the People’s Republic of China was founded, the country’s service trade was almost zero. While in 2023, China’s total service trade import and export volume reached 933.1 billion U.S. dollars, ranking fourth in the world.

The country is actively expanding imports to share market opportunities with the rest of the world. In 2023, China’s import sources have covered over 200 countries and regions. The China International Import Expo (CIIE), the world’s first national-level import-themed expo, has been held for six consecutive years.

“China should continue to offer new opportunities nurtured from its vast market to other countries by holding international fairs such as the CIIE, the China International Consumer Products Expo and the Global Digital Trade Expo,” said Ma Xiangdong, a professor at the Party School of the Communist Party of China of Beijing Municipal Committee.

Continuous efforts have been made on lowering tariffs. China’s overall tariff level has been reduced to 7.3 percent, approaching the average level of developed countries. The country recently announced a move to give all the least developed countries that have diplomatic relations with China zero-tariff treatment for 100 percent tariff lines starting from Dec. 1 of this year.

China has built 22 pilot free-trade zones, covering coastal, inland and border areas, contributing about 20 percent of the total foreign investment and import-export volume of the country.

The country also keeps expanding its “friend circle” globally. By the end of 2023, China had signed 22 free-trade agreements with 29 countries and regions, and it had signed over 200 Belt and Road cooperation documents with over 150 countries and over 30 international organizations.

At the same time, foreign investment has been encouraged. The country’s negative list for foreign investment had been shortened for five consecutive years from 2017 to 2021, and laws and regulations, including the Foreign Investment Law, were put into force to step up protection for foreign investors.

In 2023, China’s foreign direct investment, in actual use, reached 163.3 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 176 times compared to 920 million U.S. dollars in 1983, maintaining its world-leading position in terms of scale for multiple consecutive years.

China’s investment is playing an increasingly prominent role in promoting economic development worldwide. In 2023, China’s non-financial outbound direct investment reached 130.1 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 61 times on that of 2003, and ranking third worldwide for 11 consecutive years.

PROPELLING INSTITUTIONAL OPENING-UP

China has been unswervingly expanding institutional opening-up in recent decades to realize high-quality development and offer the world new growth momentum and opportunities, rolling out various policies.

In the latest move of this kind, China announced in September that it would allow the establishment of wholly foreign-owned hospitals in certain cities and regions, including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and throughout the island of Hainan.

In the same month, the country issued the 2024 version of the negative list for foreign investment access, reducing the number of restrictions from 31 to 29 and achieving zero restrictions on the manufacturing sector.

This fully demonstrates China’s active willingness to expand mutual benefits and a clear attitude to supporting economic globalization, said Jin Xiandong, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission, adding that further efforts will be made to improve the level of foreign investment liberalization and facilitation, and to optimize service for foreign-invested enterprises.

At its third plenum, the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China renewed the country’s commitment to the basic state policy of opening to the outside world and continuing to promote reform through opening up.

“Leveraging the strengths of China’s enormous market, we will enhance our capacity for opening up while expanding international cooperation and develop new institutions for a higher-standard open economy,” reads a resolution adopted at the plenum.

Opening up to the outside world is not just a matter of “opening the door”, but more importantly, is actively aligning with international economic and trade regulations as well as other high-standard rules, said Zhang Bin, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Zhang underlined the need to enhance synergy between the domestic and international markets as well as resources to constantly cultivate and consolidate new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition.

Gold’s Secret Weapon: Mastering the Head and Shoulders Pattern Gold and the Head and Shoulders Pattern: Unveiling the Hidden Secrets Gold is not just a shiny metal; it’s a treasure trove of opportunities in Forex trading. One such golden strategy revolves around the Head and Shoulders pattern, a technical analysis tool that savvy traders swear by. Today, we’ll dive deep into this strategy, unveiling advanced techniques, insider tips, and little-known secrets that can transform your trading game. Why Gold and the Head and Shoulders Pattern Are a Match Made in Heaven Gold, often referred to as a "safe-haven asset," reacts uniquely to market conditions, making it ideal for technical patterns like Head and Shoulders. But here’s where it gets interesting: this pattern doesn’t just signal reversals; when applied to gold, it can also highlight hidden entry points that most traders overlook. Fun Fact: Spotting a Head and Shoulders pattern in the gold market is like finding a golden ticket—rare but highly rewarding. How to Spot the Perfect Head and Shoulders Pattern on Gold Charts Not all Head and Shoulders patterns are created equal. Here’s what to look for: - Clear Peaks and Valleys: Ensure the "head" is noticeably higher than the "shoulders." - Volume Confirmation: A drop in volume during the formation of the second shoulder is key. - Neckline Angle: A horizontal or slightly inclined neckline enhances reliability. Pro Tip: Use the 4-hour or daily chart for more accurate results when trading gold. Advanced Techniques: Ninja Tactics for Trading Gold with Head and Shoulders 1. Combine with Fibonacci Levels Overlay Fibonacci retracement levels on the pattern. If the neckline aligns with a 50% or 61.8% retracement, the trade setup gains extra credibility. 2. Utilize RSI Divergence Check for divergence between the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the price. Divergence often confirms the pattern’s validity, especially in gold trading. 3. Look for Breakout Retests After a breakout below the neckline, wait for the price to retest the neckline before entering. This step filters out false breakouts, a common pitfall. Hidden Opportunities: Underground Trends in Gold Trading 1. Emerging Market Demand Keep an eye on demand from countries like China and India. Rising demand often disrupts technical patterns, creating unexpected opportunities. 2. Geo-Political News Gold’s safe-haven status means it reacts strongly to geopolitical events. Combine fundamental analysis with the Head and Shoulders pattern to anticipate moves. Common Myths About the Head and Shoulders Pattern Myth 1: It Always Indicates a Reversal Reality: In gold trading, the pattern can also signal continuation in specific market conditions. Myth 2: It Works on All Time Frames Reality: The pattern’s reliability decreases on shorter time frames due to market noise. Humorous Anecdote: Relying on a Head and Shoulders pattern on a 1-minute chart is like trying to predict the weather by looking at your coffee’s steam pattern—unpredictable and a little silly. Game-Changing Insights: What Most Traders Miss - Neckline Breaks with Momentum A neckline break with high volume signals strong momentum, increasing the likelihood of a successful trade. - Avoid Symmetry Bias While symmetry is appealing, an asymmetrical Head and Shoulders pattern can be just as valid if volume and price action align. Trade Gold Like a Pro Trading gold with the Head and Shoulders pattern is an art and science. By combining advanced techniques like Fibonacci overlays, RSI divergence, and volume analysis, you can unlock hidden opportunities and sidestep common pitfalls. Remember, every pattern tells a story; your job is to read it wisely. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated Read the full article

The Roadmap to Succeeding in a Global Business Environment

Globalization has brought businesses closer than ever, creating unprecedented opportunities for growth. However, navigating the complexities of global business environments also comes with a set of challenges, from cultural differences and regulatory compliance to evolving market dynamics. To succeed in this landscape, professionals need to equip themselves with the right skills, mindset, and tools. Here are key strategies to thrive in today’s interconnected world.

Master Cultural Intelligence (CQ)

One of the most significant challenges in global business is understanding and respecting cultural differences. Cultural norms influence how decisions are made, how negotiations are conducted, and how trust is built. For example, while direct communication is appreciated in Western cultures, many Asian cultures value indirectness and harmony in conversations.

To excel:

Invest time in learning about the cultures you work with.

Develop empathy by understanding diverse perspectives.

Leverage frameworks like Hofstede’s cultural dimensions or the Lewis model to navigate cultural nuances effectively.

Stay Ahead with Geopolitical and Economic Awareness

Economic policies, trade regulations, and geopolitical tensions can significantly impact international businesses. The recent U.S.-China trade war and Brexit serve as prime examples of how external factors can reshape business landscapes.

To mitigate risks:

Regularly monitor global events and understand their potential impacts.

Build contingency plans to adapt quickly to regulatory changes.

These examples demonstrate the importance of both flexibility and local market insight.

Conclusion

Veinnoiserie Market Forecast : Trends And Growth Projections

The viennoiserie market, encompassing a wide range of buttery, flaky pastries like croissants, Danish pastries, and pain au chocolat, continues to experience robust growth globally. With increasing demand from both traditional markets in Europe and emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, the sector is poised for further expansion in the coming years. This article will explore the forecast for the viennoiserie market, examining key trends, growth drivers, and future opportunities.

Market Growth Drivers

Several key factors are driving the growth of the global viennoiserie market. The first and most prominent is the increasing consumer demand for convenience foods. Busy lifestyles, particularly in urban areas, have led to a surge in on-the-go consumption, with viennoiserie being an ideal choice for quick breakfasts or snacks. As people seek quick yet indulgent food options, products like croissants, Danish pastries, and pain au chocolat fit the bill, contributing to the market’s upward trajectory.

Another significant factor is the growing appreciation for artisanal and premium bakery products. Consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for high-quality baked goods made from premium ingredients and crafted with traditional methods. This trend has led to a rising demand for artisan viennoiserie products, with a focus on organic ingredients, butter-rich recipes, and healthier alternatives.

Additionally, the growing trend towards health-conscious eating has influenced the viennoiserie market, with manufacturers responding by offering healthier options, such as whole grain, gluten-free, or lower-sugar variants. The expansion of dietary choices such as plant-based and vegan products has further fueled the growth of the market, as consumers seek to enjoy their favorite pastries without compromising their dietary preferences.

Regional Insights and Market Trends

In terms of market dominance, Europe continues to lead the global viennoiserie market, largely due to its long-standing cultural association with high-quality pastries, particularly in countries like France, Belgium, and Italy. European bakeries are renowned for their traditional craftsmanship and premium offerings, contributing to steady demand in the region.

However, growth in the viennoiserie market is not limited to Europe. The North American market has witnessed significant growth, driven by the increasing popularity of French-style pastries and the expansion of global bakery chains. Fast-casual dining chains and coffee shops, like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, are boosting the availability of viennoiserie products, further embedding them in the breakfast and snack segments.

Asia-Pacific, particularly China, Japan, and South Korea, is emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets for viennoiserie. The shift toward Western dining habits, particularly among younger, urban populations, has led to a surge in demand for high-quality pastries. In these regions, local bakeries and international brands alike are adapting viennoiserie products to suit local tastes, incorporating regional flavors and ingredients, which further drives market growth.

Latin America and the Middle East are also showing potential, with increasing disposable incomes and a growing preference for Western-style baked goods contributing to market expansion in these regions.

Forecast and Future Outlook

The global viennoiserie market is expected to continue its upward trajectory, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4-6% over the next five years. This growth will be driven by the continued demand for premium bakery products, the rise of on-the-go breakfast options, and the increasing popularity of healthier, plant-based alternatives.

The market is also likely to see innovation in both flavors and ingredients. As consumer preferences continue to evolve, bakery brands will need to innovate by introducing new, exciting flavors, incorporating local ingredients, and offering more dietary options. Plant-based, gluten-free, and sugar-free viennoiserie products are expected to become more widely available, catering to the growing number of consumers who prioritize health-conscious choices.

The rise of online and delivery platforms will also play a role in market growth. Consumers increasingly seek the convenience of ordering viennoiserie products online for home delivery, which will create new opportunities for bakeries to reach a broader audience. The continued expansion of bakery chains and coffee shop outlets globally will further contribute to the widespread availability of viennoiserie products, ensuring their presence in both physical and online retail spaces.

Challenges and Opportunities

Despite the positive growth outlook, there are challenges facing the viennoiserie market. Rising raw material costs, particularly for butter, flour, and other key ingredients, could put pressure on production costs and profit margins. Additionally, the labor-intensive nature of traditional viennoiserie production, requiring skilled bakers, could limit the scalability of small artisan bakeries.

However, these challenges present opportunities for innovation. Investment in automation and more efficient production techniques can help bakeries scale up without compromising quality. Furthermore, companies that focus on sustainability, including sourcing ingredients responsibly and minimizing waste, will be well-positioned to meet the growing demand for eco-conscious products.

Conclusion

The viennoiserie market is expected to continue its growth, driven by changing consumer preferences, health-conscious eating habits, and a rising demand for premium, convenient bakery products. Europe will maintain its dominance, while markets in North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America will see significant growth. As the market evolves, manufacturers will need to focus on innovation, healthier alternatives, and expanding their presence in emerging markets to stay competitive. With the right strategies, the viennoiserie market is set to thrive in the coming years.
