As we step into the vibrant energy of summer 2024, Our UK team Red Scarf (Part of ECENTIME) is thrilled to share the key takeaways from our highly anticipated Summer Meetup. This event marks not only a celebration of our achievements but also a look forward to new opportunities and innovations.
Understanding Chinese Consumer Trends
Number of Chinese Students in the UK from 2011 to 2021
In recent years, the purchasing behavior of Chinese consumers has seen significant shifts. Here are some of the key trends identified:
Highly Educated and High-Income: Chinese students and expats in the UK are generally well-educated and earn above-average incomes, making them a valuable demographic for businesses.
Strong Spending Power: This group not only has a significant personal spending capacity but also influences international spending by their families.
Demand for Personalization: Over 70% of Gen Z Chinese consumers now expect some form of personalization from online businesses, and 38% are interested in purchasing customized products.
Mix & Match Preferences: Nearly half of Chinese expat consumers prefer to combine high-quality, big-name items with fast-fashion pieces, and this trend is expected to grow.
Launching the Red Scarf App
We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of the Red Scarf App, designed to enhance user experience and brand engagement.

Exciting H2 Campaigns
The second half of 2024 promises a series of thrilling campaigns and promotional opportunities.

Following closely is the Paris Olympics from July to August, where our Olympics landing page, ranking in the top 15 for "Paris Olympics" searches in Chinese on Google, will provide unparalleled visibility.
