Reckitt CEO: Winning in China will help us win in other places around the world

Reckitt is betting on China to become its largest market in the future, as the UK-based health and hygiene company sees strong potential in the country's innovation-driven economy, the company's CEO said.

"Winning in China will help us win in other places around the world," said Kris Licht, chief executive officer of Reckitt Group, during an exclusive interview with China Daily.  

"If you want to be a leading consumer health and hygiene company like us, I think you have to be very strong in China. Because this is one of the forefronts of development and innovation, and it allows us to lift those ideas to other markets," said Licht.
