The Evolution Of Chinese Consumers

The retail landscape in China has undergone significant changes in the post-COVID era, and so have the preferences and behaviors of its consumers.

One notable development is the rise of a sophisticated social media ecosystem that heavily promotes live-streaming on various e-commerce platforms.

The level of service provided by these e-commerce platforms has reached exceptional standards of efficiency and speed. Products

are swiftly delivered to customers' residences, workplaces, hotels, and even trains, often on the same day. Furthermore, strategically placed pickup cabinets throughout the city offer hassle-free collection options for added convenience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

China is witnessing a significant evolution in the dressing style of young consumers, now mirroring the fashion trends prevalent in Japan and Korea.

Little Red Book has evolved dramatically. Originally renowned for promoting cosmetics, now is the foremost peer-to-peer multimedia platform encompassing various categories like fashion, travel, education, and parenting.

Consumers now prefer shorter videos to reading and mostly make purchases during live-streaming sessions that offer real-time interaction and the opportunity to engage with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).

Chinese consumers have a preference for international products infused with a touch of Chinese influence, including collaborations with local brands and limited editions.

Mobile apps are becoming the preferred mode of payment for everything.

The outdoor lifestyle is growing in popularity.
