The Greater China Demand Cliff
Across 1 sector, 3 filers are signaling falling demand. Visible since 2025Q2, with activity continuing through 2026Q1. Almost entirely a demand story (100%). One disclosure notes "declining store traffic, elevated promotional activity and higher levels of inventory negatively impacting revenues." Continuing to gain pace.
Consumer-goods and apparel makers are experiencing simultaneous unit volume and revenue declines in Greater China, driven by market contraction, elevated competitive activity, and aggressive promotional discounting that erodes pricing power.
