E-Commerce in China is in crisis in 2022

 After ten years of GDP growth, China e-Commerce economy has never experienced such a decline in economic performance as in 2022. The consequences of COVID are more serious than during previous crises such as SARS in 2003 or the global financial crisis of 2009. 

All sectors are affected: manufacture products, cosmetics, fashion, retail sales and exports.


In 2022, the whole world recorded a drop in retail sales, due to the health crisis and successive confinements, between 10% for Asia and the United States and 13% for Europe.


But China, the first affected, has all the assets to get back on its feet quickly. Already, its annual growth stands at 8.1% in 2021, the strongest recorded since 2012, and better than forecast at 6%.


Companies will take less than a year to recover from the health crisis in the Chinese market.


  1. What are China's strengths? 
  2. Why is multi-channel communication a plus? 
  3. How does it materialize? 
  4. What are the technological and regulatory challenges to be met?


Not all sectors have been affected in the same way. The retail sector lost $200 billion in China in 2020.

The advantage of e-commerce in Cina

E-commerce in China represents 700 billion euros in 2020, 500 million buyers. Half of the Chinese population uses e-commerce as a mode of consumption and, during the crisis, e-commerce platforms have grown by 82%.


In China, 650 million parcels are delivered every day via Alibaba compared to 6 million in the United States via Amazon.


In addition, payment by smartphone has become a habit for Chinese consumers who make more than 60% of online payments through this channel, i.e. 10 times more than in the United States according to 2016 figures from McKinsey & Company.


Wechat lists 1 billion active users for payment solutions, the first in the world. The main technologies are the QRcode, the NFC (Near-Field Communication = contactless) and the credit card emulator with the mobile.


The Chinese population is ultra-connected with the highest rate of household Internet and mobile services in the world.


Innovative approaches

Faced with this technophile public, brands are constantly innovating. Piaget, L'Oréal, Galeries Lafayette, LVMH or Givenchy are planning to invest in the development of e-commerce platforms, interactive 3D holographic windows, live streaming, mini-programs in the WeChat application or even virtual reality.


Indeed, brands adopt what is called a phygital strategy consisting in finding the right balance between physical signs and online presence. Stores have a new role as showrooms and are no longer the only place of purchase, now supplemented by e-commerce platforms, social networks and instant messaging.

Branding is the key in China , in fashion and now in e-Commerce

Chinese culture emphasizes style and appearance. It is a cultural desire to behave well and to pay attention to your physique in front of your surroundings. This is the reason why brands are so popular in the fashion industry in China.

The fashion market in China

If we take a closer look at brands in the clothing/fashion market, it is possible to subdivide it into three parts: unbranded clothing, luxury brands and labels. Customers of unbranded clothing will be more concerned with the practicality of the garment: they are looking for the lowest price and therefore the value of the product is based neither on the identity of the brand nor on the quality of the product. clothing. In general, consumers in this market are low-income people. he clothes reflect a high social status and a high standard of living.

Branding is the key in China 


The company can set the target-heart and decide the marketing and the communication strategy only after the definition of an identified and distinguished position. source


Chinese luxury consumers 


The customers of this sector in China come mainly from the wealthy class. Only part of the upper middle class can afford luxury goods from time to time; although it is well known that middle-income Chinese women try to buy a luxury handbag every month.


The consumer group for luxury brands is a relatively small group compared to the overall clothing market. Only 1.11 million out of 1.4 billion people belong to the wealthy class.

Private labels brands : personalization


The third category on the market represents private labels. Chinese customers are mainly from the middle class.

People who care about their image, but cannot or are not prepared to pay exorbitant prices in clothing. They care about the quality of the garment as well as its price, these customers are sensitive to the quality / price ratio.


However, the clothes must also be personalized, that is to say offer a touch of authenticity in the style of the product. It is not easy for a manufacturer to find this balance, but it is a target with great potential that should not be overlooked. According to a market study conducted by our Shanghai-based fashion industry team, we found that in the year 2000, only 4% of the urban population represented the middle class. In 2012, this ratio increased to 66% and is expected to reach 75% in 2022. Therefore, there are many opportunities for these private labels in China.


E-Commerce is even more popular 


E-Commerce, O2O and the different opportunities for fashion in China
The current economic situation is one of the great opportunities for private labels. Over the past 10 years, China’s GDP and the purchasing power of the people have grown significantly rapidly. With the increase in purchasing power, expectations have also been higher: many Chinese consumers are no longer satisfied with basic needs, they expect better quality, better service at a reasonable price today. Given that consumers of private labels represent a growing middle class, this sector has a lot of potential. O2O (online to offline) businesses represent a new trend and are often attached to private labels. The O2O business model encourages and drives customers to buy online at offline outlets, for example with the help of e-coupons. Due to an Internet boom in China, this business model is very popular. Take the example of Merters / Bonwe, the first ready-to-wear company in China that used a QR-Code system printed on every product in the store. By scanning on this code, customers were redirected to the official Merters / bonwe site to obtain additional information on the product purchased.

Different 


With the emergence of e-commerce, different consumption habits are created. Some customers prefer to try the clothes in stores and buy later online, hoping to find the same cheaper clothing on the internet than in physical stores. This lower price is partly explained by the different costs: rent costs, labor costs, maintenance costs and management costs, etc.



This general trend of e-commerce was experienced as a shock at the very beginning, for retailers of traditional stores. But over time, this has opened up serious opportunities for market players. Private labels in China are experiencing an upward trend while the luxury market suffers from an aesthetic image that is too rigid, not personalized enough. However, the marketing of privates label products represents a real challenge for the retailer: it requires better quality of work to deal with complex situations, including sales analysis, brand promotion

e-commerce new trends in 2020



Simply thanks to O2O (Online to Offline) strategies which allow traffic to be driven on digital platforms to physical platforms using coupons, gamification, special offers, etc. Chinese E-Commerce leaders are inspiring and successfully develop new strategies to advance E-Commerce. So what are the latest development trends in China?

Problem of retail in China 


All small stores struggling to attract people now have their solution thanks to the Chinese giant Alibaba and its initiative “Integrated Retail” dating from 2018. The concept is simple, to generate visits, small stores have access to a database created by Alibaba which contains demographic and sociological data of the surrounding population, allowing them to adapt their products and their stocks.

Store owners use the platform to order Alibaba products through an app. This same platform gives them insight into what customers are buying and uses analytics to help them with inventory management and resupply strategies. Ling Shou Tong is redefining the traditional supply chain into an efficient digital network. This is part of a larger plan called "New Retail", which is part of Alibaba’s strategy to develop a new economic infrastructure combining online and offline operations in China.

ALIBABA POPUP STORES





Alibaba in China 

Still in the O2O strategy dynamic, Alibaba has created pop-up stores enabling online and offline purchasing to be combined. These pop-up stores display reduced-quantity items that can be purchased locally, but other items equipped with chips in front of touch screens allow the product to be found on Tmall and / or Taobao shopping platforms. So, for customers who want to get a real overview of the product without cluttering up for the rest of the day, this is perfect. “LIVE” PURCHASES Live video streaming is an undisputed trend in China, whether on social networks or E-Commerce platforms. More and more platforms are bending to this new trend and adding this functionality to their site / APP as Taobao had done allowing KOLs (key opinion leaders) to share their purchases with their community directly from Taobao.

In this context, Alibaba in 2016 had set up a fashion show exhibiting major brands such as Guerlain, Pandora, Tag Heuer, etc. During this "live" parade, users could have direct access to the products on the platform, allowing them to make the purchase immediately.

About Chinese young consumers 


But what is more serious: are these centers really useful for improving the health status of the population? In fact, 63% of the beneficiaries of these services are 40 years old or less. Is the effectiveness of an annual health check on this segment of the population demonstrated, while older populations do not benefit from it?


The interest of repeating a complete assessment annually can be strongly discussed taking into account the health risk profile. In addition, companies - the real payers - do not receive any information that could allow them to set up real internal support programs for behavior change of their employees (market very embryonic otherwise). Without forgetting that these centers only concern 21% of the total population. The screening and prevention centers were the answer to a strong expectation of the population to ensure their medical follow-up, in the absence of a network of general practitioners.

source in french 
After 15 years of "experimental" development, it appears that they are not necessarily the answer to China's public health challenges. Market mechanisms have made it possible to provide a first level of response, but without regulation of the public force, the health balance is very mixed and profitability is not there. Private players have focused on customer segments that are a priori profitable and are now diversifying towards complementary offers that are better paid, but without any real objective of impact on health. Will the market alone be able to bring about an effective health check-up practice? The government's objective of doubling the number of general practitioners by 2020 provides an initial response.

Weibo is not dead è and useful for Tmall Promotion

Weibo is losing its “cool” factor, like what’s going on with Facebook in the West. 
In any case, marketing brands on Weibo, whenever done accurately, can be extremely proficient and practical. Owning to its huge client base and set up brand name in China, Sina Weibo, much the same as its Western comparable, Facebook, basically can’t be disregarded. 
Advertising and brand promotion on Weibo is quite different from Facebook and Twitter in the following ways: 
  • On Weibo there are no any focused on commercials which show up anyplace outside of the newsfeed stream. This implies Weibo is substantially more like Twitter – every one of the messages, including the promotions, appear in-stream. Basically, promoting along these lines turns out to be progressively about substance marketing. Then again, it is commonly increasingly hard to catch the intended interest group precisely enough. 
  • Weibo’s in-stream publicizing item is classified “Fensi Tong” which has two valuing models: initial one is CPM (cost per thousand impressions) which is at present estimated at 5 Yuan for every CPM. The subsequent model depends on number of communications with the promotion: clicks, sending the advertisement, following the publicist and sparing the promotion. This model uses offering framework, which like Google AdWords with the base offer as of now set at 0.5 Yuan per cooperation. 
  • The publicizing model that is one of a kind to Weibo is based around KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders). Those are people who have a large number of devotees and their posts, as a result, become the ads that pull in a great deal of impressions and retweets. There are a few degrees of KOLs on Weibo set apart with a capital “V” of various shading after their names for various client types. For instance, the orange “V” represents an individual client while the blue “V” is saved for bunch client, for example, an organization, an association or a news source. Contacting KOLs in your field and creating association with them is consistently, by a long shot, the most productive brand building system.

Douyin is addictive - Top App in China for 2020

Douyin is super addictive and is the top APP you have to check in 2020.


https://www.emartspider.com/how-douyin-became-the-most-popular-app-in-the-world/

Douyin’s most important features, in any case, comes as a watcher. While most video stages (counting YouTube as should be obvious above) expect you to hit play on their recordings, on Douyin you basically scroll/swipe between cuts. On the off chance that it presents something you’re not especially keen on or in the event that you can’t endure the 15 seconds that each clasp goes on for, you can move to another bit of substance with a brisk flick of your screen.
It’s addictive. Actually, for controllers, it’s too addictive and a month ago the application had to incorporate a ready that discloses to you when you’ve been sitting idle yet watch mind-desensitizing selfie cuts for an hour and a half:
As Sensor Tower’s report appears, such measures haven’t eased back the application’s development. As per the report on Sohu, in February this year, Douyin as of now flaunted 66 million dynamic day by day clients, while Sensor Tower’s report shows it was downloaded 45 million times in the initial three months of this current year.
Not awful for an application that was purportedly created in only 200 days by a group of eight at ByteDance, Jinri Toutiao’s parent organization.

Can douyin growth continue?


YES 
It’s not been all going great for Douyin in any case. Notwithstanding going underweight for being profoundly addictive, the application stood out as truly newsworthy recently after it as far as anyone knows “restricted” kids’ animation character Peppa Pig from its foundation.
Douyin discredited such claims, however, the story mirrors a portion of the issues such a brisk fire, client-driven application faces amidst a clear online tidy up exertion by the specialists.

Chinese Traditions 

The directive also stated that videos must promote the "excellent traditional Chinese culture" and its theories of "love, increased exposure of the individuals, integrity, justice, stability, no worshiping of money or other bad habits" The language sounds like China's directive from last July which banned films and blogs which weren't "socialist" enough. Users have resisted the reduction in Duanzi on Toutiao's inactive account, which was not deleted. "I feel it might be a possible threat to society or the united states which Neihan Duanzi attracted more users and experienced a greater rallying power," said one user.
The name "rare earth" is a historical misnomer, stemming from this after they detected they were difficult to extract from surrounding matter. The USGS (United States Geological Survey) explains rare earth elements as "moderately abundant," meaning that even though they are much less ordinary as elements such as oxygen, aluminum, silicon, and iron (which together constitute 90 percent of the planet's crust), they are still well dispersed across the planet.

Chinese internet banned

The rule comes only a little after a Chinese reporter's eye-roll went viral sprouting GIFs, spoofs, and memes all-over media. As soon as was especially notable considering that the Congress is usually uneventful and buttoned-up. Chinese censors immediately banned mentions of their eye-roll on platforms that were social. Fans of Danzig are currently seeking each other but those codes initiated by fans are in violation of law, a media site reports. After he honked on the street the Qingdao traffic authorities arrested and questioned A bus driver.

Education about Regulation of Internet 

Regulators are advising drivers to honk if necessary and also have put signs up in many regions of central and southern Chinese cities such as Xi'an and Qingdao, banning improper honking. A nice of 100 yuan ($15.88) is likely to soon be issued to violators.

Earth component of cerium

The earth component of cerium, by way of example, is the 25th most abundant on the planet, making it. But unlike elements that are similarly renowned and aluminum, such as gold and silver, rare earth don't clump together in lumps. As an alternative, for the similar chemical composition (1-5 of the 17 rare earth elements occupy sequential places on the regular table), they bond freely with each other in minerals and clays.
Now that a popular parody and meme app in China called "Neihan Duanzi" was shut down and its particular social networking account on WeChat got deleted, and fans of the program are gathering in solidarity offline in subtle protest. Passengers are currently honking at one another in the code to indicate that they're fans, The NY Times reports. A coded message may be a car honk, accompanied by a dip, and even honks.
China’s Control

Learn about Toutiao 


Reuters noted that the directive was marked "extra urgent," that will be uncommon and ensures that citizens must comply or risk being closed down by police. Even the directive only applies to internet videos, but an individual wouldn't expect to see parodies that are mocking there, to begin with since China has control of its picture and tv industries. Toutiao's CEO, '' Zhang Yiming, issued an apology letter soon after for "publishing a product which collided with core socialist worth" Duanzi has been permanently closed down, based on an April announcement from the site while Toutiao is predicted to go back on the web by April 30th. China had banned parodies and video spoofs at a March directive, that appeared on Duanzi, a lot.

Accademic of China 


As the academic David S. Abraham explains in his book The Elements of Electricity, this makes for a grueling extraction process. To generate piles of the earth this material has to become dissolved in solutions of acids then filtered, and excavated once again. "The goal isn't too much to remove rare earth from the combination as to remove everything," writes Abraham.
"in China, you need to respect the local rules, because if goverment start to attack a Business it can really go down" explain a Student of this Shanghai top School. 

Chinese regulators have awakened censorship efforts


Whilst from the US Congress slowly grilled facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, in Shanghai , swift bans were brought down by regulators on violating media apps and news programs. On Monday, China barred a few news apps including Jinri Toutiao. Then, the subsequent day, authorities shut down Neihan Duanzi, a platform for users to share with you parody skits, mentioning vulgar content on the platform that "triggered strong bitterness from internet users" just wait, a parody group famous for dubbing over clips from movies, said on Weibo, also as first viewed by Reuters, it would delete all videos to wash up, inspect themselves, improve, and "create this program more in accordance with relevant laws and regulations" Unusual soil ore goes through those steps hundreds and hundreds of days, also the concentration of the acids has to be recalculated so as to focus on the particular impurities from the dirt. To top it off, the process can be radioactive and produces any amount of chemical compounds.


Chinese regulators

Chinese regulators have awakened censorship efforts, whilst parliament dominated to eliminate President Xi Jinping's 10-year term limit meaning that Xi is now able to rule forever.
Whatever would be perceived as anti-government was censored in the past few weeks, as sailors' frustration over the potential life rule of Xi grows. Some fans arranged their cars, significantly more than 40 vehicles to describe the Chinese personality for their city, that local police additionally later deemed "supposed to be prohibited" Individuals organizing together in agendas and classes are often disapproved of by the Chinese government.

The Chinese economy 


CEO, for example, says he does not see the Chinese economy returning to double-digit growth in the short term and, in fact, anticipates that the advertising market will grow only 3 to 5 percent over the next five to 10 years. "People will have to look for new growth areas, which means they will need to acquire Chinese advertising companies, especially in second- and lower-level cities," he says. Proctor predicts that the chances that the new media or agencies successfully entering China have become, to use his word, low.

The Chinese digital market 

We encounter the Chinese digital market many times. I often find that there are more questions than answers when it comes to getting closer to the market and the consumer. Do not fear, it can be done. It is key to remember: I am writing this from a digital marketing perspective. Establishing a business in China, compliance, taxes, distribution, etc. are out of my reach, and are always independent market challenge. So for the moment, let's focus on ways to test digital marketing ideas within the market.

Digital without representation.


The first major barrier is to understand how media are bought inside and outside China. One of the most important factors is taxation. As a foreign entity, buying media in China is a fairly strong tax (can be up to 30%). To avoid this there are a number of China-based services, based in China, that can buy media on behalf of foreign entities. Do your research on these offers and make sure that you feel comfortable with the fees, charges, ways of working, etc. Happy to help out here.

SEM. online advertising 

 The easiest barrier to overcome, creating a Baidu account is actually quite easy and turnkey. It is also easy to try smaller ones and really get an idea of ​​what kind of brand value you have in the market. As always, launching is easy, but there are definitely considerations for launch.

Baidu is huge. 

The largest search engine, in one of the largest economies in the world, and money can go fast. Make sure you have a very structured test to try to get the most out of your money as the sea is possible. Mobile first. China is arguably the largest and most mobile country in the world, so be prepared for that. If your mobile experience is not great, chances are your results will suffer. Counterfeit product. You need to keep an eye on the SEM landscape. There are more counterfeit / resale items in China than many other markets, especially compared to the US. You can send these fake sites to Baidu as you would with other search engines. The answer is usually quick.


Digital Spending in China 

More specifically, eMarketer estimates that digital spending in China (the world's second largest digital ad market) will rise to $ 31.03 billion this year, up 30 percent from 2014. The firm also forecasts that disbursements The country's digital revenues doubled in 2019, when nearly 60 percent of total spending was devoted to digital, making digital investment in China the largest in the world.

Digital = Innovation & Technology in China 


Gentlemen Agency 

Given China's recent conversion to digital technology, China has largely done the desktop-based digital explosion and launched directly into mobile-based communications. As a result, Gentlemen Marketing Agency estimates that mobile advertising spending doubled this year, reaching nearly $ 16 billion, while public spending reached about $ 21 billion.




Much more modest boys are called for radio (8 percent), while newspapers and magazines are expected to decline as digital branches increase and popularity, reflecting the impression view in the rest of the world.
Finally, Gentlemen Agency also predicts that outdoor advertising grows steadily due to "the growing movie market and emerging development in Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities."

Omnicom Group

For his part, John Wren, president and CEO of Omnicom Group, compares the optimistic outlook on China. The country's economy, given, "continues to grow into a healthy clip that is more stable and sustainable, [and now] is being labeled as the new normal." It's still a long track for growth ahead. "

Omnicom - with more than 30 branded agencies operating in China, employing about 3,000 people and a strong public expenditure in the telecommunication, travel and personal care categories, given by Wren. An example for this growth is Apple, one of Omnicom's largest customers in China. Wren says the tech giant has enjoyed the record sales of the iPhone 6 and is adding 20 new outlets next year. Yichi Zhang, co-founder and CEO of McGann Zhang, a seven-month-old agency based in Los Angeles and Beijing, believes the entry of Apple Music and iTunes into China indicates maturity in the market. Ironically, it is the presence of more regulation in China that makes the apple as a global brand feel more comfortable, given Zhang. One of the possible hurdles, at least as Wren sees, is "slowing growth rates in China," which, he says, "means that customers are faced with pressures to cut costs. It will be limited."

IPG Media

Henry Tajer, executive director of IPG Media, Interpublic's global media company, finds "some lagging behind in China by local and multinational advertisers." Including what is happening in Europe, as well as the impact on Business in China. source

Tajer, whose main body of experience in the agency is in the Asia-Pacific region, believes that the media is "protected to some extent" in China because of its organic growth strategy. "We do not feel excessively widespread in China," he says. "This gives us confidence when we look at macroeconomic conditions."

Publicis China

 GroupM 

For Dominic Proctor, Chairman of GroupM Global, maintaining all WPP news agencies, the correction in the Chinese economy is "minor." It adds that this economy "continues to grow. There is no significant impact on the global operations of advertisers.

"By way of example," he continues, "consider the case where China is the 10 percent budget of a global marketer." A slowdown in economic growth of one point or less is of negligible impact. "
