Build intelligent customer data platforms in China — integrating analytics, automation, and personalization — to unlock revenue opportunities and optimize marketing efficiency across all touchpoints.

How CDP Helps Navigate China’s Unique Digital Landscape

Customer Data Platform is an enterprise-grade software system that collects and integrates customer data from multiple channels in real time, creating a unified, actionable profile for each customer.

CDPs Can Build 360° User Profiles by Consolidating Data from Every Interaction — Across Both Known and Anonymous Users — to Generate Holistic Insights and Enable Smarter, Data-Driven Decisions

Unify Extreme Data Fragmentation

Customer data in China is dispersed across various isolated ecosystems — including private traffic domains (WeChat, WeCom) and public platforms (Tmall, JD.com, Douyin, Xiaohongshu) — making unified customer views nearly impossible without a CDP.

Build 360° User Profiles

CDPs can consolidate data from every interaction — across both known and anonymous users — to generate holistic insights, empowering smarter segmentation and data-driven decision-making.

Meet Hyper-Personalization Expectations

Nearly 75% of Chinese consumers are dissatisfied with generic push content, yet 45% are willing to share data for personalized offers — more than in other regions. A CDP can enable more targeted, cross-channel engagement and help build lasting customer relationships.

Ensure PIPL Compliance

China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) mandates explicit consent, strong data governance, and local storage of 100% of the personal data — making a centralized, locally hosted CDP or CRM system essential for compliance.
