List of Lingerie, Bikinis & Pantie distributors in China

Among the wide choice of products for adults in China, lingerie is THE women’s favorite. They love lingerie and especially high-quality lingerie, bikinis, and panties from foreign brands.

More generally, Chinese people are adopting a Western lifestyle and culture. And this translates into the purchase of foreign brands’ products! Of course, lingerie, bikinis, and panties markets are not spared.

In the last decades, we saw many foreign brands like Victoria’s Secret that got into China. They have a huge success and expand in Chinese cities at a fast pace.

With this cultural shift, Chinese women do not feel afraid or ashamed of being glamourous and sexy anymore. They are willing to spend more money on this type of product and this represents a great opportunity door for foreign lingerie and bikini brands.

If a woman is willing to spend more money than the average on lingerie, bikinis, or panties, they will require high-end products. And what can be better in terms of quality than a foreign brand specialized in these products?

Just by being a foreign brand, it enjoys a positive brand image that produces high-quality products and whose prices are justified.

But it does not make all the work! Working on your branding in China is the most important part of any implantation in this market.

But first, let’s take a closer look at this market.

Lingerie, Bikinis & Pantie market

Lingerie, bikinis, and panties brands will no doubt remain as successful in China in the coming years. The local markets are getting bigger and foreign brands to hold their leadership!

• Over 9% CAGR growth expected for these markets for the next four years
• South Central, South-West, and East of China as the main lingerie markets
• Foreign brands represent 60% of the underwear market

• US$43.42 billion only for the lingerie market in 2018
• Expected to be worth US$64.49 billion by the end of 2020!

The bikini market is still an unexplored market since it only represents 10% of the total women’s swimwear market. Since the majority of the sales happen during summer, bikinis are considered as seasonal products, but their total sales amount is getting bigger every year.
