过去前置仓生鲜的商业模式一度被认为无法打破"不可能三角"，难以平衡用户规模、客单价及履约成本。 为保证即时送达且覆盖更大的消费群体，需要铺设大量前置仓及储备生鲜产品，这意味着履约及商品损耗成本高，要求足够高的客单价或订单量来覆盖，但 高价又与用户规模互斥。 这个魔咒首先淘汰了首创前置仓模式的每日优鲜，宣告了烧钱补贴的发展战略无法持续。 每日优鲜倒闭后，叮咚买菜CEO梁昌霖表示，市面上对前置仓的分析有很多，但是大家忘了判断一个模式的优劣，最重要的关键点是看它能否真的满足用户 需求，是不是顺应消费者行为的变化趋势。 2025年8月，一份华泰研究报告指出，叮咚的用户画像（居家做饭群体）与美团及淘宝存在一定差异（QuestMobile数据显示，2025年7月叮咚买菜与美团/淘 宝的用户重合率为 41.3%/64.6%），有望通过稳固自身差异化的产品、服务和优势地域空间布局，形成较为坚实的用户基本盘和市场增量空间。 转折点在9月份，淘宝闪购的进攻加剧了即时零售战场白热化，进一步改变了生鲜行业的战略价值，也改变了独立玩家的生存空间。 叮咚买菜通过收缩规模、聚焦精细化运营成为率先盈利的前置仓生鲜。2021年8月，叮咚开始从 ...
