BEIJING – China's securities regulator approved Shein's application to list in Hong Kong, clearing a barrier that had blocked the fast-fashion retailer's long-running push for a public offering.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission said Friday it had approved the company's plan to sell up to 341.6 million shares on the Hong Kong exchange.
Shein previously sought listings in New York and London. It faced regulatory pushback, according to media reports.
Founded in 2012 by Chinese-born entrepreneur Xu Yangtian, Shein moved its headquarters to Singapore in 2021. It sells clothing in more than 150 countries, with most production based in China. Low prices and a wide selection have helped the platform compete with Amazon in the U.S., alongside rivals such as Temu.
Shein's supply chain operates at a faster design-to-production pace than traditional fast-fashion competitors, the company has said. Xu earlier this year pledged to invest more in China's Guangdong province to tap the region's garment supply chain and logistics network.
Shein's platform exports exceeded 100 billion yuan ($14.5 billion) in 2025.
