This report by Adyen, Emerging Communications and Global Blue is a culmination of the latest Chinese consumer and retail trends, with insights from Chinese consumers and case studies from some of the most cutting-edge innovations in retail experience.
In 2018, more than 32% of UK tourists were Chinese - and that number is constantly growing. By the end of 2019, almost half a million Chinese tourists are expected to have visited the UK with an average spending budget of £5,000 each. While the opportunities are there for merchants, there is a disconnect between Chinese shoppers and the UK market.
"Despite the enormous potential, now and in the future, British brands and retailers frequently struggle to sell to Chinese consumers in the UK. Many are not putting enough effort into marketing, and lack a focus on the necessary retail experiences."
Annabelle Baker, Lush
