In November, the decline in domestic sales of clothing in China was significant.


Fluctuation in China's clothing retail in November, expecting subsequent stabilization and recovery: Affected by epidemic control measures, the consumer market in November was significantly under pressure, with a widening decline in market sales. In November, total retail sales of consumer goods fell by 5.9% year-on-year, and by 0.1% year-on-year from January to November. Clothing retail sales in November fell by 15.6% year-on-year, and by 5.8% year-on-year from January to November.

The "New Ten Measures" continue to make marginal optimizations to quarantine methods and nucleic acid testing, relaxing requirements for routine nucleic acid testing checks and continuing to relax policies for cross-provincial and municipal population movement. This will drive a warming of the offline retail environment and boost passenger traffic to offline clothing stores. The comprehensive improvement of the domestic demand strategy encourages investment and expansion of consumption scale, promoting offline clothing consumption while encouraging enterprises to strengthen online channel construction. This is expected to improve clothing retail sales through the promotion of omnichannel construction. As the "New Ten Measures" continue to optimize epidemic prevention policies and the domestic demand strategy continues to promote the improvement of consumption scale, textile and clothing-related consumption will receive comprehensive promotion.
