FAISALABAD: According to WealthPK, Faisalabad has emerged as a lucrative market for Chinese baby wear, bringing a win-win business for both traders and buyers.
Chinese clothing brings comfort and style to young people and has emerged as a potential source of income for merchants, whether they trade in small streets or large shopping malls.
Rana Aamir, a shopkeeper at Jhang Bazaar, told WealthPK that Chinese babywear is becoming increasingly popular with mothers.
“But now moms are comfortable with affordability, styles and durability. We work in Faisalabad which is considered as the main source of textile products. But let me admit that Chinese products have overshadowed Pakistani products,” said Aamir.
He said Chinese manufacturers are introducing trendy designs that are gaining popularity even among teenagers. Due to the trendy styles and designs, more and more parents are choosing Chinese clothes.
Aliya Noor, who was shopping for clothes for her four-year-old daughter at Muhammad Pura Main Bazaar, said they prefer Chinese clothes for their quality and cost-effectiveness.
She said Chinese manufacturers offer competitive prices without compromising on quality.
Rana Aamir said that the quality and affordability of Chinese clothing is attracting more and more customers. A diverse range of options are available for customers along with all styles, sizes and colors, he added.
Amir said he has built up customer loyalty over time and now most of them connect with him through social media to get quick information on new arrivals.
Noman Naseer, another customer shopping for baby clothes at Bhawana bazaar, told WealthPK that it used to be difficult for him and his wife to find suitable, economical and durable clothes for their children, but Chinese entrepreneurs have solved their problem.
“We now buy clothes for our children with confidence because the merchants offer refunds and guarantee the quality of the clothes. Thanks to Chinese manufacturers who have brought a splash of color into our lives through quality clothes at reasonable prices,” he added.
He said online shopping has made Chinese baby clothes accessible to all kinds of customers. People can easily find cute and affordable clothes for their kids online and have them delivered to their homes. He added that it’s a great convenience for busy parents who don’t have time to go to the shops.
Chinese children’s clothing has also opened up new business opportunities. Misbah Ali found an opportunity and started an online business.
“I sell Chinese clothes through social media. I’m new and don’t know much about social media marketing, but I’m pretty sure my business will boom with stylish and affordable Chinese clothing,” she told WealthPK.
I have invested several thousand rupees in the clothes, displayed them and am trying to win the trust of the customers, she said.
Sharing her experience of researching ways to invest in a Chinese children’s clothing business, Misbah said she noticed that some of her relatives often buy Chinese clothes for their children. When she asked them why they buy such clothes, they told her it was because of the quality and affordability.
