Accounting for around 15% of Adidas\u2019s global revenue, the Chinese market is the third largest after Europe and North America and remains crucial to its global performance. The growth of Adidas in China can be attributed to stronger end-to-end localization compared to foreign brands. The company focuses on China-specific product design by local design teams as opposed to global design calendars. It also positions itself at the forefront of China\u2019s efforts to promote sports and exercise culture, resonating with consumers through partnerships and local activations.&nbsp; As Adidas doubles down on its \u201cIn China, For China\u201d strategy, it forecasts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adidas-group.com\/en\/media\/press-releases\/adidas-brand-momentum-drives-record-revenues-strong-third-quarter-results-and-upgrade-of-full-year-2025-outlook\">double-digit currency-neutral growth<\/a> in FY 2025. <ins><\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2195\" height=\"1796\" src=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China.png\" alt=\"Adidas in China\" class=\"wp-image-64044\" style=\"width:545px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China.png 2195w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China-300x245.png 300w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China-800x655.png 800w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China-768x628.png 768w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China-1536x1257.png 1536w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-in-China-global-sales-distribution-Greater-China-2048x1676.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2195px) 100vw, 2195px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Data source: Adidas 2024 Annual Report, designed by Daxue Consulting, Adidas 2024 net retail sales by region<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download the winter sports market report:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SAMPLE-2025-Chinas-winter-sports-recap-by-Daxue-Consulting-Cover-800x447.png\" alt=\"China's winter sports market\" class=\"wp-image-62999 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/447;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n<script>\n  hbspt.forms.create({\n    portalId: \"21091266\",\n    formId: \"d32a3f6d-df5c-4360-ad36-7691dfe4abc3\",\n    region: \"na1\"\n  });\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Chinese market remains essential for Adidas\u2019s global success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adidas first penetrated the Chinese market in the early 80s, establishing connections with Chinese soccer and later partnering with Chinese basketball teams. The brand formed an official subsidiary in 1997, and the 2008 Beijing Olympics marked a turning point in the brand\u2019s rapid expansion within the <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/athleisure-market-in-china\/\">athleisure market in China<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, market dynamics make China even more crucial. The growing <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/sportswear-market-in-china\/\">sportswear market in China<\/a> provides a key opportunity for the expansion of Adidas in China, as Chinese consumers increasingly prioritize health and wellness both athletically and aesthetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, China\u2019s role as a major manufacturing hub for Adidas products makes the country essential in terms of business. A large portion of the brand\u2019 success can be attributed to its China-specific business model, where Adidas prioritizes selling domestically produced goods.&nbsp; According to Xia Jiale, the Managing Director of Adidas Greater China, <a href=\"https:\/\/eu.36kr.com\/en\/p\/3569887257279619\">95% of Adidas products<\/a> sold in China are locally-produced, and 60% are locally designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adidas wins back Chinese consumers through more authentic, end-to-end localization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The downturn in 2022 was in part a result of <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/guochao-cultural-confidence-in-china\/\">the Guochao movement<\/a>. The influence of Guochao is increasingly prevalent in the fashion industry, with unique modern Chinese clothing fusing Western designs with traditional elements of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, Adidas enacted its &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eu.36kr.com\/en\/p\/3569887257279619\">\u201cIn China, For China\u201d<\/a>, deepening its focus on hyper-localization, cultural collaborations, and deeper engagement with the <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/booming-sports-market-in-china\/\">sports market in China<\/a>. It gave greater autonomy for Greater Chinese designers, enabling the Creation Center Shanghai to respond faster to local trends and give young designers more opportunities to showcase talent through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adidas-group.com\/en\/magazine\/careers\/empowering-chinas-next-generation-of-design-talent\">local programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guochao collections resonate domestically and abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the global retro sneaker trend has contributed to sales of models like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adidas.com.cn\/plp\/protype_ftw_vintage_women?page=1\">Samba and Gazelle<\/a> in China, the popularity of Adidas in China comes from its \u201cNew Chinese\u201d Collections. Adidas rides the Guochao wave by blending traditional Chinese cultural elements with contemporary sportswear featuring its classic three-stripe look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notable products include \u201cTang suit\u201d coats and jackets featuring the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frog_(fastening)\">pankou knots<\/a> seen on traditional qipaos, as well as collaborations for the Chinese New Year. Adidas also did a special CNY collaboration with CLOT by Edison Chen, a prominent streetwear brand blending Eastern and Western cultures within its designs. The popularity of \u201cTang suit\u201d style jackets has even <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/fashion-news\/fashion-scoops\/adidas-chinese-new-year-jacket-tang-dynasty-1236906659\/\">taken root abroad<\/a>, as international consumers attempt to purchase through resale sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"840\" data-src=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-xiaohongshu-tang-suit-jackets-guochao.png\" alt=\"Adidas in China\" class=\"wp-image-64046 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 830px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 830\/840;width:445px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-xiaohongshu-tang-suit-jackets-guochao.png 830w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-xiaohongshu-tang-suit-jackets-guochao-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-xiaohongshu-tang-suit-jackets-guochao-800x810.png 800w, https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/daxue-consulting-adidas-xiaohongshu-tang-suit-jackets-guochao-768x777.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Source: Xiaohongshu, Adidas \u201cTang suit\u201d jackets and Guochao collections<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adidas strengthens community engagement through partnerships and activations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond tapping into the <a href=\"https:\/\/daxueconsulting.com\/fashion-industry-in-china\/\">Chinese fashion industry<\/a> through everyday fashion, Adidas is also capitalizing on the growing market for functional, technical athleisure.
