Especially after 1990s, a large number of famous domestic brands emerged, such as YOUNGOR, Shanshan and Luo Meng, which made Ningbo's garment industry occupy an important position in the domestic clothing market.

But with the change of the market and the impact of the financial crisis, the marketing mode and the key points of the industrial structure have changed.

"Now we should focus on cultivating innovative and industrial information enterprises. We have to produce products with small quantities, personalization and high added value. This is a trend and direction for our future development.

So fast-paced, personalized, green environmental protection and other aspects is a new idea for our future development.
