If you're keeping an eye on global fashion trends, here’s one you can’t ignore: the Chinese lingerie market is booming — and it's not just about aesthetics anymore. As a lifestyle blogger who’s been tracking intimate apparel trends across Asia for over five years, I’ve seen a massive shift in consumer behavior, brand innovation, and cultural attitudes. Let’s break down what’s really driving this transformation.
Gone are the days when lingerie in China was purely functional or hidden under layers. Today, it’s a bold statement of self-expression, body positivity, and even empowerment. According to Statista, the Chinese lingerie market hit $18.3 billion in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 7.2% through 2028. That’s not just growth — that’s a revolution.
One major factor? Young consumers. Over 65% of buyers are women aged 18–35, and they’re not shopping like their mothers did. They want comfort, inclusivity, and style — all at once. Brands like NEIWAI (内外) and Ubras are leading the charge by ditching underwires, embracing organic fabrics, and promoting real-body campaigns. In fact, Ubras reported a 40% year-on-year sales increase in 2023, largely driven by their no-wire bra line.
Let’s look at some key players reshaping the game:
| Brand | Founded | Key Product | 2023 Revenue (Est.) | Market Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ubras | 2016 | No-wire bras | $420M | Digital-first, viral marketing |
| NEIWAI | 2012 | Organic cotton sets | $380M | Body-inclusive branding |
| Aimer | 1999 | Traditional lace bras | $310M | Retail dominance |
| Curvy Mei | 2020 | Plus-size focus | $90M | Niche inclusivity |
What stands out? The rise of digital-native brands. Unlike legacy players relying on malls, Ubras and NEIWAI built communities online — especially on Xiaohongshu and Douyin. Their content doesn’t sell bras; it sells confidence. And it works.
Another trend? Sustainability. A 2023 McKinsey survey found that 58% of Chinese consumers now consider eco-friendliness when buying lingerie. That’s pushing brands to adopt TENCEL™ fabrics, recyclable packaging, and transparent supply chains.
So, if you're thinking of entering this space — whether as a buyer, entrepreneur, or investor — pay attention to these shifts. The Chinese lingerie market isn’t just growing; it’s redefining intimacy wear from the inside out. And for those seeking authenticity and innovation, the future is already here.
