The She-Economy: New Era of Consumer Power in China

The She-Economy: New Era of Consumer Power in China

International Women’s Day in China has evolved beyond a single celebration—it is now recognized as Goddess Day (女神节) and Queen’s Day (女王节), reflecting the rising influence of women as powerful consumers.

According to CBBC, the She-Economy is reshaping China's consumer landscape. Nearly 400 million women aged 20 to 60 command an impressive £1.08 trillion (approx. RMB 10 trillion) in annual purchasing power, presenting substantial implications for brands. Over the past five years, the gender income gap has narrowed from 30% to 15-25%, signaling a rise in women's economic independence.

Chinese women are investing in self-improvement and lifestyle enhancement, from innovative workout gear and unique travel experiences to calming home fragrances. Additionally, there is a growing interest in sectors like automotive and gaming, which opens exciting opportunities for brands.

These empowered consumers are informed advocates for brands that resonate with them, using platforms like Xiaohongshu (RedNote) to share insights and experiences, thereby amplifying their voices in the marketplace.

Recognizing this shift in consumer culture is essential. The rising influence of Chinese female consumers represents a market segment that brands entering China cannot afford to overlook.
