Shanghai Pathways

Older consumers may value price over quality, but younger generations are increasingly willing to pay premiums for higher-end products.

Since China started its “reform and opening” policy in 1978, its economy has expanded rapidly, and most leading international retailers and manufacturers have entered the China market. Some foreign companies are hesitant to enter the market, however, because they do not understand Chinese consumers and their shopping habits.

Despite the country’s rapid economic rise, China’s regions have developed at different rates, and consumer trends vary greatly among different groups and regions. Understanding the preferences and mindset of consumer groups is the key to successfully expanding a retail business in China.

​

A primary objective for this experience is to introduce people to China – culture, way of life, and ultimately, consumer behavior. We will plan a program for you to have a good cultural & consumer understanding – activities that help you to understand “a day in the life” of Shanghainese. Going out of the touristy area to places like hypermarkets, wet markets, upper middle class areas. 

We will also be able to arranging for in home visits or interviews with Chinese people to discuss topics relevant to your product.
