India’s Woodland eyes Chinese growth

Indian retailer Woodland plans to open 25 new stores across China over the next two to three years.

Owned by Delhi-based Aero Club, Woodland sells footwear, apparel and accessories.

The company said the two company-owned stores and multi-branded outlets in Hong Kong are well accepted and highly frequented by consumers, which has given them confidence to expand into mainland China.

“Though competition in the Chinese market is fierce and challenging, we see a huge opportunity for international retailers to expand in this market. Keeping in mind all these factors, we decided to foray into China and have already established our presence in the Hong Kong market, a gateway to China,” Woodland MD Harkirat Singh told Deccan Herald.
