China is the number 1 retail market in the world, with almost 1.4 billion people.

The China market is not a single market. In reality, different regions and provinces have different needs and demands. There are also no one-size-fits-all situations or solutions. You should plan to put the strategy insights we uncover into action within 1-2 years, because the market changes rapidly and data can be outdated quickly. Contact us to find out more.
