POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Fast-fashion giant Shein is set to debut on the stock market on 1 September with a targeted valuation of nearly $27 billion. This figure is notably lower than the $100 billion valuation it achieved during a round of private fundraising in 2022.

The company has not disclosed further details regarding the IPO, including the exact number of shares to be offered or the price range. Market analysts are closely watching the move, given Shein’s significant influence in the fast-fashion industry.

Shein’s upcoming market entry comes amid increasing scrutiny of fast-fashion businesses concerning sustainability and labor practices. The company has faced criticism in the past for its environmental impact and working conditions in its supply chain.
