Glory Star expected to further increase profitability

Published

on

Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.

The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.

During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.

Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.

During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.

The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.

At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.

Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.

The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.

During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.

The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.

As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.

Blockchain and AI technologies

Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).

During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.

The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.

The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.

The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.

Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.

Non-fungible token

Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.

The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

2026 Loungewear Trend Forecast: Boundless Comfort, Stylish at Home —— EKOUAER Leads the New 2026 Loungewear Trend with the Philosophy of “Comfort Without Compromise”

Published

on

In the fast-paced modern lifestyle, loungewear has evolved beyond just sleepwear, becoming an expression of personal style and an all-day comfortable living attitude. As a pioneer in the loungewear industry, EKOUAER is leading the new comfort trends for the 2026 loungewear market with its unique perspective and exceptional products.

Shift in U.S. Consumer Demand: Loungewear Beyond the Bedroom
In recent years, U.S. consumers’ demand for loungewear has undergone significant changes. They are no longer satisfied with viewing loungewear merely as sleep attire but expect it to integrate into every aspect of daily life—whether relaxing at home, taking a walk outside, or attending small gatherings, loungewear should serve as an ideal choice for expressing personal style and comfort. This shift in consumer behavior has created new growth opportunities and design inspiration for the loungewear market.

Four Trends Defining the New 2026 Loungewear Wave

  1. All-day Comfort Takes Center Stage
    Advances in fabrics and tailoring enable loungewear to effortlessly transition from morning to night, meeting the demands of all-day scenarios. Consumers seek a wearing experience that offers both soft, enveloping comfort and a fresh, dry feel throughout the day.
  2. Hybrid Wear Drives Design Innovation
    The need for light outdoor activities, such as picking up packages or taking neighborhood walks, requires loungewear to balance privacy with a presentable appearance. Tailoring emphasizes “relaxed but not sloppy,” incorporating subtle details into loose-fitting designs to ensure effortless style during unexpected outings.
  3. Soft-touch Fabrics Continue to Evolve
    Beyond classic cotton and modal, materials like satin and silk blends are gaining popularity for their lightweight, breathable, and subtly lustrous qualities. These fabrics not only offer a luxurious feel but also enhance overall dressing sophistication.
  4. Relaxed but Polished Emerges as the New Aesthetic
    The new generation of loungewear moves away from an overly casual look. Through thoughtful details like refined collars, elegant piping, and well-placed prints, it achieves an understated elegance while ensuring absolute comfort.

EKOUAER: Responding to Trend Evolution with Product Innovation
Several of EKOUAER’s products exemplify these emerging trends:

Satin Pajama Set, crafted from ultra-soft silk-touch fabric, combines breathability and skin-friendly comfort. With its classic collar and button design, it strikes a perfect balance between comfort and minimalist style, seamlessly transitioning from casual lounging at home to gatherings with friends.

Silk Satin Pajama Set interprets the “relaxed yet refined” concept with its unique satin material and contrast piping details. The elastic waistband and side slit design ensure freedom of movement while adding a touch of understated sensuality.

Camisole Nightgown is designed for consumers seeking simplicity and coolness. Made from elastic, breathable fabric with a liberating camisole back, it can be worn as loungewear or paired with an outer layer for outdoor cool-weather outfits.

Bohemian Print Romper represents the epitome of Hybrid Wear. With its relaxed jumpsuit silhouette, vibrant prints, adjustable straps, and practical pockets, it effortlessly transitions across various scenarios—from home lounging and vacation wear to everyday outings—making it a versatile staple for simplifying your wardrobe.

Industry Recognition and Market Favor

EKOUAER’s leading designs are not only beloved by consumers but have also earned recognition from authoritative platforms. The brand’s products have been featured on lifestyle TV programs such as Good Night New York and Coffee with America, sharing the aesthetics of home comfort. They have also been highlighted in renowned fashion magazine ELLE. Additionally, EKOUAER’s collections have been consistently selected for the “Amazon Holiday Gift Guide,” receiving official endorsement as a top comfort choice, further solidifying their reputation as a preferred gift option.

In 2026, the loungewear industry will enter a new phase where “comfort and style coexist, functionality and scenarios merge.” EKOUAER remains committed to prioritizing consumer needs, driving continuous product innovation, and offering trend insights. By providing loungewear that combines comfort with thoughtful design, the brand not only meets user expectations but also solidifies its position as an industry trendsetter. Moving forward, EKOUAER will continue to delve into skin-friendly fabrics and versatile scenario-based designs, ensuring the experience of “Comfort Without Compromise” permeates every moment of life.

New Trends in Loungewear! No Compromise on Comfort, EKOUAER Unlocks Multi-Scenario Styling for Home Life

Published

on

As the boundaries between home, work, and socializing become increasingly blurred, a great set of loungewear has long surpassed the category of “pajamas.” It is not only a private fortress of comfort but also a versatile “uniform” that maintains composure and presentability for unexpected visitors, working from home, school runs, or even strolls around the neighborhood. By 2026, the ultimate proposition for loungewear lies in “full-scenario adaptability.”

How to translate this trend into reality and choose loungewear that truly fits the rhythm of modern life? The brand EKOUAER, with its philosophy of “Comfort. No Compromise.”, provides a clear four-dimensional selection guide and offers ready-to-own solutions.

Shopping Guide: Four Key Dimensions to Identify Your Ideal Loungewear

I. Fabric: Soft, Breathable, and Easy Care
High-quality loungewear starts with skin-friendly fabrics that balance breathability and easy maintenance. Popular materials like satin, silk, and knit offer a delicate touch, excellent drape, and good elasticity. The “machine-washable” design is especially recommended—effortlessly fitting into a fast-paced lifestyle while making comfort even more convenient.

II. Fit: Inclusive and Relaxed Yet Tailored
Fit determines both comfort and appearance. Too tight feels restrictive; too loose looks sloppy. The ideal design incorporates appropriate ease at the shoulders, waist, and legs—not overly snug yet naturally flattering. It accommodates different body types, ensuring ease and appropriateness whether at home or stepping out briefly.

III. Versatility: One Outfit, Multiple Uses, Seamless Transitions
Modern loungewear must adapt to various scenarios: maintaining a light formal touch for working from home, while staying neat and simple for school runs or quick outings. Opt for sets with clean designs and gentle colors to transition smoothly between occasions, reducing the need for frequent changes and truly embracing “home as life, stepping out with ease.”

IV. Value for Money: High Frequency, Broad Occasion Coverage
High value means high usage and wide applicability. A set of loungewear that doubles as sleepwear, homewear, and casual outerwear offers multiple functions for the price of one—perfectly aligning practicality and lifestyle aesthetics.

EKOUAER, Wearing CozyLove into Every Relaxing Moment
Based on the above dimensions and insights into modern life, EKOUAER has created multiple loungewear pieces that balance design and functionality:

  • Satin Pajama Set: Made from silky satin material, soft and skin-friendly. The short sleeves and relaxed pants design are perfect for relaxing at home, while the simple striped style can also handle brief outings directly.
  • Silk Satin Set: Features unique button designs that balance aesthetics with breastfeeding convenience, suitable for moms or users who value easy wearability.
  • Racerback Sleeveless Pajama Top: Made from stretchy, breathable fabric, the camisole cut with adjustable straps balances a sexy home style and potential for summer outerwear, offering versatile styling.
  • Floral Loose Jumpsuit: With vibrant prints, a loose fit, and lightweight fabric, it creates a bohemian-style piece suitable for home, vacation, or even maternity wear, achieving multi-scenario versatility.

These products collectively embody EKOUAER’s core strengths: pursuing ultimate skin-friendliness and easy care in fabrics, achieving a balance between relaxation and flattery in fit, and covering multiple needs from the private bedroom to semi-public outings in terms of scenarios. They truly exemplify the modern loungewear demand of “one outfit, multiple uses.”

Market Recognition, Witnessing Brand Strength
EKOUAER has not only won widespread consumer affection but has also been frequently recommended by media and platforms. Beyond being selected for the “Amazon Holiday Gift Guide,” it was featured earlier this year on the renowned lifestyle program “Lifestyle Today,” further confirming its exceptional balance between comfort and style.

When loungewear is no longer confined to the bedroom, when comfort and presentability no longer require a trade-off, EKOUAER is redefining the possibilities of modern loungewear with its steadfast proposition of “Comfort. No Compromise.” Whether you’re an urban woman pursuing daily relaxation, a mom balancing family and self, or a practical individual focused on life efficiency, you can find a choice that fits your needs at EKOUAER!
