Executive summary

Huge Potential Market With Continued Economic Growth

Despite the rapid development of the Chinese economy over the last decade, recent data still suggests strong growth in the coming years. The same is true for the Chinese clothing and footwear market. As China has the biggest population in the world, it represents the largest consumer market. During the review period, the Chinese clothing and footwear grew rapidly into a huge market. However, with the encouragement of an optimistic Chinese economy and rising disposable incomes, there is still huge potential for further growth.

Increased Brand Competition

Only 10 years ago, there were few famous brands to be found in the Chinese clothing and footwear market, and domestic manufacturers had little brand consciousness. Even consumers knew little about famous international brands or manufacturers, so competition was focused solely on price and quality. However, with rising consumer demand, more domestic manufacturers began to pay attention to branding and more international brands entered China and there are now thousands of brands available, resulting in a highly competitive market.

Various Distribution Channels and Frequent Promotional Activities

As there are more manufacturers and brands in the Chinese clothing and footwear market, how to develop an effective distribution channel was one of the most important things for companies. Clothing and footwear retailers founded by manufacturers, large department stores and supermarkets or internet and TV retailing all proved successful. Having a variety of distribution channels and frequent promotions were an essential weapon in the face of stiff competition.

Youth, Leisure and Fashion Factors Are Popular

For most brands or manufacturers, catching new trends means a higher likelihood of success. Not only men's and women's outwear, but also childrenswear and underwear are starting to develop integrated product ranges and popular styles. For the growing number of young customers, youth and energy factors became popular, while white collar workers enjoyed leisure and sports styles, which reflected their ability to 'relax' after the working week, while international fashion shows boosted demand for stylish and fashionable clothing.

Customers' Changing Attitudes to Clothing and Footwear

For most customers, clothing and footwear is no longer just a means of keeping warm. Wearing the right clothing and footwear in different situations has already become important and essential for social people. Many fashion magazines and TV programmes reflect the current fashions and many manufacturers hold fashion shows to attract attention. Young people are now keen to build up a fashionable wardrobe and keep a close eye on fashion news and trends. Even older people, faced with a wider range of choices, are changing their clothing and footwear buying habit in order to update their image.
