Pants industry is a subdivided industry of the apparel industry. With the increase of domestic apparel market competition, profits begin to flow into segments of the industry. As a kind of daily consumer goods, pants industry is less affected by the fluctuation of macroeconomic situation. Compared with other clothing products, its fashion trends are less affected. Thus its products have a longer life cycle and the ability to digest inventory of pants enterprises is generally higher than that of traditional retail clothing enterprises.

As a separate industry, the birth of China's pants industry is mainly with the rapid development of the domestic garment industry and continuous improvement of residents' income. China's garment industry has entered the era of rapid consumption of pants. Pants consumption are no longer just satisfied with people's basic survival needs but also to meet higher psychological needs and self-satisfaction needs. Demand for pants reflecting their own social status and quality of life is increasing, thus making the division of the industry be further refined. Hence there are more specialized clothing brands in apparel industry. There are not only clothing enterprises specializing in coat or pants brands, but also enterprises specializing in men's or women's brands, as well as enterprises engaged in sportswear brands, business or casual wear brands. Specialization of China's apparel industry continues to refine, which means that China's garment industry gets further mature and is an embodiment of the improvement of China's residents' living standards.

From the point of view of production, China's pants industry is mainly concentrated in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Zhengzhou. The three cities account for nearly 80% of China's pants market. In addition, the Yangtze River Delta is an important production base of pants in China, such as Changzhou, Wuxi and Hangzhou. There is also a batch of pants enterprises. These enterprises can take advantages of abundant local fabrics resources and advanced information near Shanghai and form a number of regional brands.

However, compared to foreign brands, China's pants development is still difficult.

Most of the Chinese enterprises are in the stage of production and sales of ordinary pants and the positioning of products is in the low-end market. China's pants industry is facing comprehensive industrial upgrading. In addition, China’s "demographic dividend" continues.
