Exploring China’s Luxury Market: Emerging Trends and Future Prospects

2024-11-14
China’s luxury market is a significant player on the global stage, valued at approximately US$57 billion annually. This market is driven by a mix of domestic and international purchases, with platforms like DeWu offering substantial discounts of 20 percent to over 50 percent on luxury products sourced from abroad. Emerging trends indicate a growing preference for second-hand and grey markets as consumers seek more affordable options amid price increases from luxury brands. This shift raises concerns for companies like LVMH, which recently reported a 3 percent decline in quarterly sales, marking its first downturn since the pandemic, largely due to weakening demand in China and Japan.
