Recommendation

Gone are the days when Chinese consumers wanted either the cheapest or the flashiest. Today, shoppers are looking for products and services that represent quality, health and fulfillment. But most important, people will spend their money on brands that reflect their personal values. Nan Qi Dao provides insights into China’s changing consumer landscape, with examples of companies and entrepreneurs that successfully adapt. Despite the author’s efforts to tie these issues together under the umbrella concept of “consumption upgrade,” these disparate topics warrant individual attention and would be better served as separate blog posts. Nonetheless, getAbstract recommends this worthy read to entrepreneurs and global investors, especially those interested in Chinese e-commerce. 

Take-Aways

  • Chinese consumers are increasingly "trading up" - purchasing higher quality products rather than just necessities.
  • E-commerce giants see the future as the marriage of digital and physical shopping experiences.
  • Chinese consumers are moving away from chasing brands and status symbols; simplicity, fulfillment and happiness is now driving their motivation to buy.
