Market & Category Assessment
A grounded view of demand, competition, product-market fit, and the conditions that shape a successful China launch.

Services
From market entry to everyday commerce, we provide the local operating support international consumer brands need to build a durable China business.
How We Work
Some brands need a clearly defined market-entry project. Others need an experienced local team to manage the ongoing work. In either case, we agree on the scope, responsibilities, and commercial terms from day one.
Service 01
Defined scope. Fixed fee.
For brands evaluating China or preparing to launch, we deliver focused engagements with a clear timeline, set of deliverables, and fixed fee. We scope the work after an initial conversation and establish the commercial terms before the engagement begins.
A grounded view of demand, competition, product-market fit, and the conditions that shape a successful China launch.
A practical plan for assortment, channel strategy, pricing, local requirements, and the milestones that matter.
The work required to prepare localized assets, product content, channel materials, and the operating foundation for launch.
A clear brief, a defined deliverable, and no surprise scope changes.
Service 02
Launch investment + monthly operating fee + commission on sales.
For brands ready to build an active China business, MALTARIS becomes a local operating partner. We combine a dependable operating foundation with a sales-linked commission, so our work remains focused on sustainable commercial growth.
A one-time onboarding engagement covering channel setup, product information, localized content, store operations, and pre-launch readiness.
A predictable monthly retainer for day-to-day commerce operations, content, customer care coordination, inventory planning, and reporting.
A sales-based commission agreed upfront, aligning our incentives with the growth we create together.
Service 03
You deliver the product. We run the market.
Designed for small and mid-sized brands that want one accountable partner in China, this model places MALTARIS in charge of the brand’s wholesale and retail business. Once the product is delivered to MALTARIS, we handle the work required to build, operate, and grow the market.
We take ownership of the commercial work across wholesale accounts, retail channels, and day-to-day market operations.
We build and manage the right distributor, retail, and e-commerce relationships for the brand and category.
From product launch and channel activation to inventory coordination, content, customer care, and reporting, we run the local operation.
A hands-on agency relationship for brands that want to stay close to the strategy without building a local operating team.
Next Step
We begin with your category, ambitions, and current stage of development, then recommend a practical route forward.
