What’s the next step of urban night economy？ 2023 Nightlife Index Ranking Released
Since 2017, CBN New First-tier Cities Research Institute has continuously released the "Knowledge City Nightlife Index" to observe the activity of different cities at night, and whether this city can provide people with convenient conditions for nightlife, and also provide support for business decision-making of night format and related city research.
In the 2023 Urban Nightlife Index, we continue.The evaluation model of six data dimensions, including night trips, the number of bars, the number of livehouse, night lighting, night movies and night bus, makes a quantitative evaluation of the level and characteristics of night economic development in 337 cities at or above the prefecture level in China.
Subjective weighting calculation is adopted according to the importance of each dimension, and the specific calculation methods of the data of the above six dimensions are as follows:
Night travel activity ×0.2
+Number of bars ×0.2
+number of +livehouse ×0.2
+Night light intensity ×0.15
+Night movie activity ×0.15
+Night activity of urban public transport ×0.1
= nightlife index
As a whole, except Qingdao and Hefei, there are 17 first-tier and new first-tier cities in the top 20 of the nightlife index. The other three seats in the top 20 are Foshan, Nanning and Xiamen.From the distribution of the north and the south, besides Beijing, Xi ‘an, Tianjin and Zhengzhou are among the top 20 cities in the north.
Night economy is usually composed of some offline formats with strong purposeful consumption. When we talk about the night economy, the scene that is often directly related is that people go to a place with a destination and spend money. In this context, whether it is shopping malls, markets, restaurants, bars, livehouse, cinemas and other cultural and leisure places, or night-friendly public transportation networks such as subways and buses, these offline facilities provide basic protection for urban people to be active at night.
Bar is a typical night format. Judging from this year’s data, Chengdu and Shenzhen are particularly worth mentioning.
In 2017, when the New First-tier City Research Institute launched the nightlife index for the first time, the number of bars in Chengdu was second only to Shanghai. By 2019, it surpassed Shanghai to rank first, and this year, it expanded its leading edge by more than 13% of the bars in Shanghai.
Another city, Shenzhen, ranked seventh in 2017 and sixth in 2019. This year, with 2063 bars, it jumped to the third place in the country. The number of bars has increased by more than 70% compared with 2017, making it the city with the largest increase in the number of bars.
The newly opened bars in the past year have two characteristics: First, a large number of taverns and craft bars have emerged, and among the newly opened bars in four first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the proportion of clean bars has exceeded 70%-the newly opened bars have become smaller and quieter; The other is that light chain bar brands have appeared in various places, and gained a group of loyal fans through the online celebrity effect, such as Shanghai’s road shops and Yanjing community wine shops in Beijing.
Exhibitions and sports also provide more leisure and entertainment options for urban people at night.
Take the entertainment of going to livehouse for example. There are 10 cities with more than 20 Live Houses, and the supply of Shanghai and Beijing is still in an absolute dominant position. Although the performance market has not fully entered the recovery stage in the past year, the performance pattern of the head city still presents its own characteristics-Shanghai and Shenzhen have maintained rich diversity of performance categories, and Beijing’s Quyi performances are unique.
In the index of night activity of urban public transport, we count the night activity range of urban public transport, the average last bus time of subway and the number of active subway stations at night. Taking the number of active subway stations at night as an example, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou are among the best.
In addition, we continue to use the night lighting index to help judge the economic development of the city. Shanghai ranks first and is significantly higher than other cities, followed by Suzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen.
After years of continuous data monitoring and tracking research, we also found that the development logic of night economy is gradually changing from content-oriented in the past, superimposed with high-quality services and experiences, to scene-oriented.
For example, in the past nightlife, everyone went to a place with a single scene for consumption. Nowadays, more and more nightlife takes place in some innovative fields such as restaurants, cultural centers and waterfront spaces. People can drink, socialize, watch exhibitions and listen to music at the same time, and have a lot of impromptu consumption.
At the same time, night is no longer limited to offline communication. People who wear masks at night, wait in front of the live broadcast room for orders at 123, and people who order take-away food to enjoy supper at home can also be called participants in the night economy. The online content of the night economy is becoming more and more abundant. Through the integration of online and offline scenes, the night economy also covers more people.
At the first Shanghai Nightlife CEO Conference and 24-hour Vibrant City Forum held on June 28th, Zhao Jia, deputy editor-in-chief of CBN and editor-in-chief of CBN magazine, made an in-depth analysis of the above trends. The following is an excerpt from the interpretation report:
