In recent years, the Chinese lingerie market has undergone a dramatic transformation — no longer just about function, but fashion, confidence, and self-expression. At the forefront of this shift? luxury lingerie brands are making bold moves, tapping into rising disposable incomes, evolving consumer mindsets, and digital-savvy shoppers.

China’s intimate apparel market is now worth over $18 billion and growing at nearly 9% annually (Statista, 2023). What’s fueling this boom? A new generation of Chinese women who see lingerie as both empowerment and artistry. They’re not just buying bras — they’re investing in identity.

International powerhouses like La Perla, Chantelle, and Fleur du Mal have entered or expanded in China through e-commerce platforms like Tmall and JD.com. But it’s not just Western labels winning. Homegrown luxury players like NEIWAI(内外) and Ubras are redefining elegance with minimalist designs and body-positive messaging — resonating deeply with urban millennials and Gen Z.

Why Luxury Lingerie Is Booming in China

  • Shift in Mindset: Lingerie is no longer taboo. Women are embracing it as personal luxury.
  • Digital-First Shopping: Social commerce via Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) and live-streaming drives discovery and sales.
  • Rising Incomes: Tier 1 and 2 cities boast consumers willing to spend $100+ on a single set.
  • Inclusivity Matters: Brands offering extended sizing and diverse skin-tone ranges win trust.

Take NEIWAI, for example. Since its launch in 2012, it’s raised over $100 million in funding and now offers seamless cashmere sets priced up to ¥1,500 (~$210). Their 2023 campaign “No Body is Nobody” went viral, reinforcing that luxury lingerie isn’t just for a 'perfect' body — it’s for every body.

Looking ahead, success hinges on localization. The winners will be those who blend global craftsmanship with Chinese cultural nuance — think red packaging during Lunar New Year or collaborations with local artists.

In short, the era of luxury lingerie in China isn’t coming — it’s already here. And it’s bolder, more inclusive, and more stylish than ever.
