Best Fashion Tech Companies in China
The 302 best Fashion Tech companies in China in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Vancl.
China's Fashion Tech sector has 302 companies tracked in our directory, ranked by disclosed equity funding and recent momentum, with a combined funding pool of $3.5B already on the books. The global fashion tech market sat at $24.7B in 2021 and the curve hasn't stopped bending upward since. Median app-install growth across fashion and retail apparel apps hit +17% YoY across 266 tracked titles on the Play Store. That's not noise. That's a category pulling real consumer attention at scale, and you can feel it in the capital flows.
Four unicorns have emerged from this field so far, and the funding distribution tells you where conviction is concentrating. Baibu leads the pack at $465M raised, with Moodylenses ($215M), Secoo ($195M) and Yoho ($195M) not far behind. I find it telling that even the smaller names, like Kickscrew and Egaiyi, are already in motion with institutional backing from IDG Capital, Sequoia Capital and Matrix Partners China. So what's driving the pile-in? Gen Z's outsized expectations around personalization and digital-first retail are reshaping what fashion platforms have to deliver, and China's scale means even a sliver of that demand is a massive prize.
