Europe EditionShein working towards Hong Kong listing after London IPO stalls: Report
- Shein is working towards a Hong Kong stock exchange listing in 2025 after its planned London IPO stalled due to delayed Chinese regulatory approval.
- The unsuccessful London IPO occurred after Shein obtained FCA approval but encountered an unforeseen hold-up and minimal updates from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
- Shein's London listing complications arose amid allegations of sourcing cotton from Xinjiang, legal challenges by NGOs, and increased scrutiny under tightening Chinese IPO vetting rules.

- The move towards Hong Kong reflects renewed optimism in the Asian financial market, which has seen significant IPO fundraising growth in 2025 despite broader challenges in China and the West.
