potential in adult toys due to its large population and its opening up.
• More than 2/3 adult toys buyers had experience before, it means sophisticated consumers are important for increasing the
adult toys sales in China.

China adult toys’ sales are concentrated in export & offline stores
• China’s adult toys manufacturing companies
are willing to sell products overseas since
developed countries have a higher demand.
• At present, offline sales are still the most
significant channel of China’s adult toys
retail, but the ratio of online & offline adult
toys’ sales is close to 4: 6. With the current
direction of e-commerce growth it is likely
that e-commerce will surpass offline stores.
• Ecommerce can effectively protect users’
privacy by not marking products’ names and
other information during the delivery.Offline sales

People’s attitudes towards adult toys are more liberal and government policies are loosening, adult toys are not only suitable for
young adults but also older consumers, so penetration of adult toys is growing and many China’s consumers show desire to buy
adult toys.
Main drivers of the market
More open culture and loosening government policy
Distribution channels of adult toys are not limited to offline stores anymore. E-commerce is the most diversified distribution channel,
it includes official websites, mobile apps, and social media. Meanwhile, multiform marketing modes promote sales volume growth
of this sensitive industry.
Considerable revenue attracts investors
The adult products industry is emerging and there are only a handful of competitors in market, which leads to high turnover of adult
toys, about more than 1,000 billion RMB in 2018. Considerable revenue attracts increasing number of entrepreneurs to invest.

Pain points of the market
Scattered industrial
pattern and low
differentiation of products
· There is a dispersive
relationship between
manufacturers and
retailers, so the overall
industrial structure is
dispersive.
· Due to brands being
unfamiliar with customers’
preference, most local
manufactures imitate
foreign products, which
leads to differentiation of
products.
· Although China is the
biggest producer of adult
toys, about 90 percent of
these products were
exported.
· Only 10 percent of them
were sold in the
domestic market, but
china has almost one-fifth
population in the word, so
the adult products
market potential
of China is still
untapped.
· The adult toys industry
needs to face 4 big
mountains in China,
which are advertising law,
intellectual property, fake
GMV, and taxation. Hence,
the costs of advertising
are very high.
· Some companies face
serious deficit, such as
the company Eailv (爱侣)
has had a deficit for three
years.
High costs of
advertising and
promotion
Low brand awareness
and poor quality affect
repurchase rate
· Some companies adopt
unsuitable methods of
marketing promotion, e.g.
pop-up ads, it showed the
impression of the low-end
brand image to customers.
· The phenomenon of low
quality products is
widespread and the rules
that regulate the industry
are too vague, which is an
another significant reason
caused low user stickiness.

The distribution of China‘s adult toys industry
belt is mainly in the 1-tier cities, and e-
commerce (Tao series). At present, China’s
adult toys sales have gradually moved towards
more variety and regionalization. Non tier-1
cities still account approximately 31%, which
leads to the growth of the adult toys market.

Adult toys sales differentiate from different time periods
• In preparation for romantic holidays, such as Valentine‘s Day, 20th May (the pronunciation of “520” in China is similar
to the pronunciation of “I love you”), consumers purchase adult toys one to two months in advance, which leads to the
highest sale volume of the year.
• Another sales peak is “double 11” (11th December) which is a unique e-commerce shopping festival in China. Today’s
Chinese consumers will not only pay attention to rigid demand in large-scale shopping festivals, but also focus on how
to improve taste of life.

Is China’s adult toy market price driven or quality driven?
• The market is currently price driven. From the perspective of price distribution, Chinese consumers are still more
inclined to buy cheap products. Overall, consumers’ attention to price has become more diversified but still
concentrated on the low-end, which could be some novice adult toys’ consumers experimenting from lower price
products then switching to higher price ones.
• However, 93.3% of adult toy consumers pay attention to product quality, which means adult toys quality level
becomes one of evaluation indexes to them. Hence, adult toys quality will be one of the core competitiveness for the
industry breakthrough.

TryFun (网易春风) – Better understanding of Chinese consumers

The products of TryFun successfully satisfy Chinese preference for discrete and aesthetic toys
TryFun’s Content & Vibrator Another brand’s Content & Vibrator
• Most Chinese adult toy brands imitate western products. Because TryFun has a good understanding of consumers, the brand focuses on the design
concept of “implicit, elegant and artistic”, which in line with Chinese people’s aesthetic view. TryFun’s design changed the over exposed appearance
of adult toys and effectively differentiated its products from other brands.
• Many Chinese adult toy brands use vulgar content to capture attention. TryFun’s marketing content uses metaphors to reverse the vulgar stereotypes
of adult toys. Therefore, TryFun effectively resonated with the young adults in China and improved brand awareness.

• As a popular Chinese adult toy brand launched by
NetEase Group in 2017, TryFun targets young Asian
people between 20-35 years old. Due to the precise
brand positioning, TryFun has a clear direction for
marketing.
• Obviously, TryFun has strong online sales channels,
such as Kaola.com, Yeation, etc. After NetEase
Yeation online platform launched, TryFun has
harvested a large number of consumers and quickly
occupied a place in the market.
• However, the sales ratio of offline stores and online
platforms (including C2C, B2C, B2B) in China’s adult
toys market is about 6: 4. In other words, 40% of adult
products purchases still happen offline. Therefore, the
potential of offline channels is still waiting to be tapped.

TryFun is building an offline empire based on its multiple online channels.

Consumers tend to be fond of the new and tired of the old, so it is always essential to develop new
features or new packaging.
People from 20 to 35 years old are the main force for adult toys purchasing, the rising e-commerce
platforms ensured their privacy and helped adult toy brands reach young generations effectively.
Although the sales of adult toys for men are still larger than women, the gap between them is getting
closer, more urban women are open for adult toys. Thus, brands should understand the preferences of
female consumers.
I.
II.
III.
E-commerce is the key sales channel
More women are purchasing adult toys
Products need to be continuously updated
Low-end products limit the market growth of adult toys in China, so it’s essential to improve brand
awareness by raising product quality, increasing R&D investment and better marketing content.
IV. Improve brand awareness is a strategic point

Hence, the costs of advertising are very high. · Some companies face serious deficit, such as the company Eailv (爱侣) has had a deficit for three years. High costs of advertising and promotion Low brand awareness and poor quality affect repurchase rate · Some companies adopt unsuitable methods of marketing promotion, e.g. pop-up ads, it showed the impression of the low-end brand image to customers. · The phenomenon of low quality products is widespread and the rules that regulate the industry are too vague, which is an another significant reason caused low user stickiness.
