Winning Over China's Wired Women
15 percent of Chinese women would give up seeing their families for a month over giving up their smartphones (MLS, 2014). Chinese females are also more trusting and less private online. Making them more digitally addicted and behaviourally different from women (and men) in the "West."
75 percent of Chinese women control home budgets and 30 percent of China’s millionaires are women. They are today’s biggest digital influencers and the engine driving one of the world's largest economies. This perfect storm of technology, income, independence, and anonymity is empowering them to become disruptive game changers - and a demographic for everyone to clock. Our talk will explore the macro forces driving this trend: from a changing “cosmopolitan” China to a growing domestic tech and e-commerce market, different demographics of Chinese women and how technology is shaping their diverse habits, desires and behaviours. And finally, how you as a business can innovate and cater to these unique behaviours and needs.
