Miniso’s Original Artist IP ‘YOYO’ Tops 200M Yuan in Monthly Global Sales

The scale here is notable less for the number itself than for what it says about Miniso's shift from a retail platform reselling others' characters to an IP owner with its own licensable asset. That distinction matters for anyone tracking how consumer brands build royalty streams and defend margin against licensed-property costs. The open question is whether this reflects durable global demand for a homegrown character or a single-month spike tied to distribution expansion.
