The luxury sector faces significant challenges as Louis Vuitton postpones the opening of its expansive Beijing flagship store, reflecting broader issues in China's high-end market. Gary Ng, Senior Economist at Natixis, notes, "The main threats are the 'luxury shame' caused by policy changes and economic difficulties, leading to slower disposable income growth and a weaker wealth effect." This sentiment is echoed by Jonathan Siboni, Luxurynsight's CEO, who observes, "Luxury is no longer a priority, especially for the middle class." In response, major luxury brands are adjusting their strategies to align with evolving consumer behaviors and economic conditions in China. Read the full article on Fashion Network.

Luxury brands are going through unprecedented times, particularly with shifting dynamics in China, a core market for European luxury houses. This evolution in the market highlights the need for strategic adaptation to capture new growth opportunities. Jonathan Siboni, CEO of Luxurynsight, underscores this transition: “Luxury goods in China are being deprioritized, especially for middle-income earners.” He added that according to Luxurynsight database, a quarter of Chinese consumers find western luxury brands less appealing than 12 months ago. In response, key luxury players like LVMH and Kering have seen significant impacts, with Kering reporting a 9% decrease in sales in China. Analysts point to Chinese consumers’ reduced interest in high-end brands, shifting spending priorities, and the economic headwinds as drivers of this trend. Read the full article on Bloomberg.

On November 4th, Jonathan Siboni, CEO of Luxurynsight, had the honor of hosting the opening ceremony for Comité Colbert’s 70th-anniversary celebration at the "Sino-French Craftsmanship Garden Party" exhibition in Shanghai. This special event, held at the historic Zhang Yuan in Jing'an, commemorates not only the 70th year of Comité Colbert but also the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and China. The "Jeux de Mains" (Craftsmanship Playground) exhibition brings together master artisans from both countries, creating an inspiring dialogue between French luxury craftsmanship and Chinese artisanal traditions. The opening welcomed dignitaries like Laurent Boillot, Comité Colbert President; Sophie Primas, Ministerial Representative for Foreign Trade; Bertrand Lortholary, French Ambassador to China; and former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin. They were joined by government officials, brand representatives, and many others who celebrated this remarkable occasion with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting. As a trusted partner, Luxurynsight extends warm wishes for the event’s success and for future collaborations that continue to bridge the worlds of French and Chinese craftsmanship.
LVMH’s recent push into Formula 1 and football signals a transformative shift, with the luxury giant focusing on creating immersive, emotional experiences. This marks a new phase for the brand as it moves beyond traditional luxury products into the realm of entertainment and sports. Jonathan Siboni, CEO of Luxurynsight, points to the visionary nature of this move: "They're (LVMH) anticipating where the focus of the world is going. And you can't do that just as a sponsor with a logo, you want to be a part of the game to really win the game." As LVMH anticipates the future of luxury, its focus on experiential marketing will continue to boost growth and position the brand as a leader in the evolving luxury landscape.

Key Takeaways from Our CEO, Jonathan Siboni, at the Journal du Luxe Webinar: Contrary to global reports, China’s luxury sales remain robust, staying close to the record levels seen in 2021. Emerging Market Trends: > Cashback Initiatives in Malls: To lure luxury shoppers, some malls are offering cashback rewards on high-end purchases. For example, a mall in Wuhan gives 10-15% cashback on loyalty cards for Louis Vuitton buys, generating significant customer interest and boosting foot traffic. > Cross-Border Shopping Apps: Platforms like Dewu (the new-gen Daigo) are empowering Chinese consumers to shop luxury brands abroad. According to Bloomberg, Dewu drove 14% of Louis Vuitton’s sales in China, with $300 million spent in the first half of this year alone. While these sales are recorded in other regions, the primary buyers remain Chinese. > Resurgence of International Travel: Chinese travelers are once again venturing abroad, with Japan becoming a favorite luxury destination thanks to a weakened yen. These trends showcase the evolving luxury landscape in China post-COVID. A big thank you to Eric Briones for hosting us! Watch the replay below!
