China Lingerie Market Overview, 2028
In China, the trend of the lingerie market has expanded quickly during the last two decades. China's society and economy have undergone significant change as a result of the country's tremendous increases in manufacturing capacity and expanding consumer spending. China is the world's fastest-growing market for the consumption of goods and services, outperforming other economies by a wide margin. The Chinese economy continues to expand at a fast rate, which has been fueled by long-term improvements in industrial output, imports and exports, consumer spending, and capital investment. China has benefited from a growing market for manufacturing and distribution, but the sector is suffering from a lack of innovation and investment in R&D and the creation of new products. Scale economies in the sector have not yet been attained. Most domestic producers lack the autonomous intellectual property and financial means to create products under their own namesake brands.
