Abstract

The current Chinese clothing market is developing rapidly, and the consumption concepts and demands of major consumers have also changed. This poses a challenge for fast fashion brands represented by ZARA. The study used questionnaires to survey more than 300 Chinese consumers, understand their consumption habits, and measure ZARA Customers Perceived Value. Then, use SPSS to analyse ZARA consumer portraits, and calculate Customer Perceived Value scores from four dimensions. Finally, two improvement suggestions were proposed for the Price Value with the lowest score. To provide a reference for alleviating ZARA's current crisis, and also point out improvement ideas for other fast fashion brands that are also facing challenges.
