Labubu
Labubu appears in 139. 泡泡玛特和拼多多值得投资么? as the blockbuster character/IP behind a large share of Pop Mart / 泡泡玛特 revenue. The episode says Labubu’s family has reached roughly 40% of Pop Mart revenue, which makes the IP both evidence of brand power and a concentration-risk signal.
133.全球宏观和资本市场2025年中盘点:中国的三个温差和美国的三个预期差 adds Labubu as a new-consumption example. The source uses Labubu’s visible demand as part of Quality Low Price And Reasoned Premium / 有品质的低价与有理由的溢价, where buyers still spend in a weak macro setting when an IP gives the premium a clear emotional reason.
The source uses Labubu to show why Consumer Brand Moat is not enough by itself. A breakout IP can create pricing power, demand heat, and cultural visibility, but investors still need to ask whether the hit can be extended, whether the next IP can be created, and whether growth expectations already price in too much success.
