Fast fashion retailer Shein, which is also largely rooted in China-based manufacturing, reported generating over $20 billion for the first time in 2022. The report mentioned Brazil was second in terms of downloads for the Temu app in the last 30 days, with more than 5 million downloads, just after the US.
