PV Shenzhen SS 24 is Ready to Set Sail as China Re-opens to the World The - Première Vision Shenzhen
For three years, China stayed closed to the rest of the world in an effort to control an epidemic. Its border has now been declared open. From January 8, 2023, entering travelers will no longer need to be quarantined, and outbound travel for Chinese people would gradually resume, per a statement released by the National Health Commission of the PRC.
From 2020 through 2022, the three years witnessed our effort to shake up routine and open ourselves up to new possibilities. We believe that a long-term perspective and keen insight into the market’s shifting dynamics to be crucial to our success.
Market Insight No. 1: The localized luxury consumer market in China is recovering from the epidemic
According to Bain & Company, due to travel restrictions imposed by the epidemic, China’s domestic luxury goods sales more than doubled from 2019 to 2021, reaching 471 billion yuan.
The Yaok Research Institute found that from 2020 to 2022, the vast majority of China’s luxury spending occurred within the country. It also foresees a future in which 70% of Chinese luxury consumption will occur within the country and 30% outside of it.
Clothing remains the primary focus of China’s fashion market. China anticipates that the retail sales of apparel companies above authorized size would reach RMB 1,107.18 billion by 2025. Brands’ success depends on their ability to anticipate the needs of the future fashion market, invest in a forward-thinking supply chain model, and produce competitive products.
Market Insight No. 2: Sustainable circular development is on the horizon, and with it comes exciting possibilities
The Paris Agreement was established in 2015 with the common goal of reducing the impacts of global warming. China, as a signatory to the 2020 agreement, proposed the “carbon peak” target for 2030 and “carbon neutrality” target for 2060 as ways to expedite industrial upgrading.
According to the white paper The Sustainable Road to China’s Fashion Industry published in 2022, more than 90% of Chinese customers have already become aware of the issue of sustainability. Another survey found that 89% of the respondents have the intention to buy sustainable products.
The sustainable development of China’s fashion industry is not only inevitable in the era of sustainable and circular development, but also a new opportunity that must be seized.
