This paper aims to provide some forward-looking insights into these important topics.

  2. How do these consumers differ from their international counterparts? 
  3. How to engage them when they travel abroad? 
  4. What is needed for a luxury brand to maintain a sense of exclusivity? 
  5. What role will brick-and-mortar boutiques likely play in the future?

    Who are China's Affluent Consumers?

    Chinese consumers account for about one-third of the world’s total spending on luxury, even though only 8% of such consumption takes place on China’s mainland. It is estimated that, by 2025, some 7.5 million affluent Chinese households will be spending Rmb1 trillion (US$147 billion) on luxury goods, this representing a year-on-year growth of 25% since 2016. It is little wonder that China is a top strategic priority for lifestyle and luxury brands.
