About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Despite the government’s attempts to boost domestic demand, a growing share of Chinese consumers are looking for value for money, particularly local brands. While a relatively small group continues to spend on high-end goods, including foreign brands.

The development may be temporary, but it could also signal deeper structural changes that businesses cannot afford to ignore.

This webinar will help you to determine whether your company should adapt the China strategy to stay aligned with evolving consumer priorities. Are you still playing by yesterday’s rules? Are your customers moving from premium spending to practical purchases? Does the rise of platforms like Pinduoduo reflect a short-term trend or a lasting reconfiguration of the retail landscape?
