Richard Lin Discusses Mixue’s Significant IPO in Australia’s Bubble Tea Market

Mixue’s Explosive IPO and Its Impact on Australia’s Bubble Tea Sector
Mixue, China’s largest fresh-drinks chain, recently made waves by launching Hong Kong’s most anticipated initial public offering (IPO). With demand surpassing HK$1.6 trillion in subscriptions, Richard Lin pointed out that this performance outstrips previous records set by Ant Group and Kuaishou Technology.
Impact of Supply Chain on Pricing Strategy
- Mixue’s supply chain strength appeals to savvy investors.
- The company enjoys a competitive edge with prices well below competitors.
- With raw ingredient procurement considerably cheaper, Mixue is redefining trading dynamics.
Market Dominance Through Strategic Expansion
As competition escalates in Australia's bubble tea industry, Mixue maintains a 60% market share in affordable drinks. According to Lin, the company's tactical expansion and efficiency in operations could ensure sustained growth even in lower-tier regions. However, he cautioned about market limits at around 70,000 stores.
Future Outlook: Mixue and the World of Fresh Drinks
In the first nine months of 2024, profits surged by 45.2%, with revenue hitting 18.7 billion yuan. With a presence across 11 international markets, including Australia and Vietnam, Mixue stands poised for continued success under the guidance of founder Zhang Hongchao.
