Examine Patterns of Consumer Behaviour among Chinese Women

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c77826) has announced the
addition of "Women in China 2008: Women As Consumers & Lifestyle
Trends" to their offering.

This report covers consumer behaviour amongst women in China,
within the context of the massive changes in China in recent years,
and how these changes have particularly affected the lives of China's
women. Areas of key interest include:

- Patterns of consumer behaviour among Chinese women;

- Changes in women's roles and Chinese society's traditional views
of women;

- How greater economic freedom is bringing other freedoms to women
in China, or not;

- Women's purchasing power for products and services, and which of
these are hot, or not;

- Chinese women's awareness of brand, self-image and current
fashions/trends;

- The size of the retail and service markets aimed at women;

- Which are the major brands selling to Chinese women, and who is
selling them;

- Women's exposure to advertising/marketing channels and media,
and how they respond to it;

- Women's involvement in sports and leisure activities, and how
their changing lifestyles are affecting development of new sectors and
opportunities;

This report aims to define the product and service sectors that
thrive off the women's market in China, and how companies in these
markets attempt to win the interest of Chinese, either directly or
through the media, in order to win a portion of their growing spending
power, and even build long-term brand loyalty.

The report also looks at how the rapid pace of change in China
over recent years has affected China's women, and how it has made them
very different from the generations of Chinese women who preceded
them.
