Hangzhou Zhiyi Technology is quietly reshaping the fashion scene. Founded in 2018 in Hangzhou—a bustling tech hub in Zhejiang—this forward-thinking start-up blends AI with data scraped from global shopping sites and social media. This approach helps top brands like Nike, Gap, and Urban Revivo pinpoint emerging trends with impressive accuracy.
In a recent conversation, CEO Zheng Zeyu shared how their solutions are making a tangible difference at Urban Revivo. Since the partnership began in 2020, the retailer has seen a 5% boost in designing hit items and now produces over 100,000 designs annually. More strikingly, the sell-through rate has surged from 60% to 80% in three years, reflecting smarter production and sales strategies.
These advances aren’t happening in isolation. With robust governmental backing, Chinese industries are steadily embracing AI-driven methods. Experts believe the domestic AI market could soar to about 5.6 trillion yuan (roughly US$780 billion) by 2030, a figure that underlines the transformative potential of these technologies. If you’ve ever tried keeping up with fast-changing trends, you know just how valuable these insights can be.
