摘要
Aquilaria sinensis (also known as Guanxiang in Chinese) is one of the special agarwood in South China. It is mainly produced and traded in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. Aquilaria sinensis is highly valuable for medicine, fragrance and decoration purposes. However, only few people are aware of its existence in China, and even the local Dongguan residents are unfamiliar with it. This paper introduces the lifestyle segmentation method to analyze consumers' behavior in Aquilaria sinensis market. We used a series of activities, interests and opinions to access lifestyle typologies of the consumers. Factor analysis identified three key factors that potentially influence the consumer behavior: cultural value factor, activity experience factor and consumer preference factor. The cluster analysis revealed four types of market segments in Aquilaria sinensis products: the freshmen who know nothing about Aquilaria sinensis, the "nouveau riche" who can afford it and prefer to experience it, the "old money" who pursue life quality and social status, and the "poor but exquisite" who appreciate it but can not afford it. Finally, according to these four types of market segments, some market development advice are discussed for the upgrading and popularization of Aquilaria sinensis products.
