Pop Mart turned toys into chance: blind boxes made collections the product
A Beijing toymaker's blind box — random figures, ultra-rare hidden ones — made toys collectibles: ¥451M 2019 profit, HK$100B first-day cap in 2020.
Pop Mart International
那一手
Wang Ning founded Pop Mart in 2010 as a Beijing trend-toy shop and lost money through 2014–2016. The turning point was observing Sonny Angel: one figure line, about 30% of sales, with extreme repurchase. In April 2016 he signed designer Kenny Wong's Molly license and introduced the blind-box format; a fan community (Pucky) launched June 2016. Pop Mart listed on the NEEQ board in February 2017 and left it in April 2019 to chase the Hong Kong exchange.
The format scaled through channels: robot-shop vending machines from April 2017, a WeChat 'Pucky draw-box' from September 2018, and a Tmall flagship. Blind boxes grew from 57.8% to 69.9% to 80.7% of revenue in 2017–2019, while revenue went 1.58 → 5.15 → 16.83 亿 (226% CAGR) and net profit 160万 → 9,950万 → 4.51亿. By 2019 Pop Mart was China's #1 trend-toy player with an 8.5% share.
The 2020 IPO priced the story: listed 11 December 2020 at HK$38.50 with 356.74x oversubscription, opened +100% at HK$77.10 and closed with a market cap near HK$95–100B. Four years later the model went global: FY2024 revenue ¥13.04B (+106.9%), overseas ¥5.07B (+375%) including Southeast Asia ¥2.4B (+619%), about 130 overseas stores, a 66.8% gross margin, and a ~370% stock gain in 2024 on the Labubu phenomenon.
为什么管用
- Uncertainty is the product feature: unlike a lottery, the buyer always keeps a usable toy, so the gambling loop is socially acceptable and legally safe.
- Secondary-market premiums — several to tens of times face value on hidden figures — convert the collectible into an appreciating claim whose value is verifiable outside the store.
可以搬走什么
You can add a lottery to any commodity without making it a lottery: a guaranteed minimum (a nice toy), rare upside (hidden figure) and completion (sets) fuel repurchase in a way discounting never can.
后来呢
FY2024 revenue ¥13.04B (+106.9%) with overseas at ¥5.07B (+375%, 39% of revenue) and Southeast Asia ¥2.4B (+619%); gross margin 66.8%; ~130 overseas stores; shares rose ~370% in 2024 on the Labubu-led global boom. The model now faces home-market scrutiny of its gambling-like mechanics and depends on cycling IP hits, but it has proved the blind box transfers across cultures.
