Apparel Country Snapshot - China

Summary

This report offers an overview of the apparel market in China, including macroeconomic analysis, market forecasts to 2030, consumer insights, market shares, and analysis on local brands.

The value apparel market is expected to outperform the total apparel market as consumers remain price-sensitive amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and elevated living costs. Shoppers are increasingly prioritizing affordability in discretionary spending, driving stronger demand for low-priced clothing.

Scope
  • China’s economy grew solidly in 2025, with real GDP per capita rising 5.2% driven by exports, but is set to slow as weak consumer demand, property challenges, and softer global conditions weigh on growth. Inflation remains very low but is expected to gradually recover, with persistent deflationary pressures likely to drive continued discounting and subdued sales momentum.
