McDonald's entered the Chinese market in 1990 and has since expanded to over 800 stores across China. Some of their strategies for success in China include offering very cheap products to appeal to cost-conscious customers, developing products tailored to Chinese tastes, and focusing expansion efforts on less developed areas poised for growth as China continues to develop rapidly. Their main competitor in China is Kentucky Fried Chicken, which entered the Chinese market earlier than McDonald's. Looking ahead, McDonald's sees great potential for further expansion across developing Asian markets with large poor populations that could become new customer bases.
