China’s Direct Sales Market Growing 30% Annually

 
China’s direct sales market began with the entry of Avon in the 1990s. But the industry plunged into chaos with rampant pyramid schemes, prompting the government to ban the industry altogether in 1998. The ban was lifted in 2005.

China’s direct sales market is likely the world’s third or fourth biggest behind the United States, Japan and possibly South Korea, said Hu Yuanjiang, executive director for direct selling at China Health Care Association.

Malaysia-based multi-level marketing firm, Zhulian Corporation Bhd, is set to begin its Myanmar operations next month, Malaysian media reported. Group Managing Director Teoh Meng Keat said the firm has obtained an import licence from the Myanmar government for its consumer goods to enter the country.
