Yili's indicators rank highly among Chinese consumers' top ten preferred brands, and it continues to lead the Chinese fast-moving consumer goods market.

2020 was a challenging year for fast-moving consumer goods companies. The epidemic reversed the previous slow growth of fast-moving consumer goods and triggered more innovative measures which brands adopted to maintain their growth.

While ensuring the safety of its dairy products, Yili also conducts in-depth research into consumer preferences, in order to provide customers with more innovative products.

In 2020, the sales volume of new products accounted for 16 percent of the company's total sales volume.
