Greater China

The world's factory and a 1.4 billion-consumer market — enter it with a local partner
Greater China on the world map

Greater China — mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau — is both the planet's manufacturing core and one of its largest and fastest-digitizing consumer markets. For a foreign brand or manufacturer, it is the single most consequential market to enter, and the hardest to enter blind.

This is the destination side of FangService's two-way model: where we help global brands land in China. We turn your positioning, packaging, certificates and storefront into something that reads as local — and clears customs, platforms and regulators.

1. Your category in Greater China

Largest pools: Treadmill controllers 23 · Custom displays & modules 11 · Jewellery & accessories 10
Import scale and growth by HS line is not on this page yet. We are wiring the customs statistics for each category and will add them here; until then we quote the figures per enquiry rather than publish an estimate.

Our directory also covers 3 more countries in this region that are not listed on this page.

“Potential buyers” means the buyers we have verified and listed in our own directory — not every importer in these markets.

2. Market-entry essentials

LocalizationNot translation: tonality, pricing, packaging and platform-native copy.
E-commerceTmall/JD/Douyin store setup, cross-border (Bonded) vs general trade.
