In recent years, Chinese tea brands have emerged one after another, and the market has gradually become saturated. This paper explores how MIXUE Ice Cream & Tea has become a leading brand in the low-end tea-drinking industry in China. By applying several basic models, such as Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT), Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning (STP), Political, Economic, Social, Technical (PEST), and Porter's Five Forces, the author explores the success of MIXUE Ice Cream & Tea and draws a conclusion that MIXUE Ice Cream & Tea attracts a large number of consumers by utilizing its price advantage and multimedia platforms. Meanwhile, the brand can better understand the needs and preferences of the target market, which helps it achieve an improvement in brand awareness and promote the launch of suitable products. Additionally, MIXUE Ice Cream & Tea’s success is also closely associated with a conducive economic environment, policy support, and technology development. However, risks in market competition, franchise business, inherent brand impression, substitutes, etc. exist as well, and MIXUE Ice Cream & Tea still needs to overcome these difficulties in the future.
