February’s Ipsos Update presents our latest research on global predictions for 2019, personal data and childhood obesity. We also showcase new white papers on sustainable packaging, ‘lead users’ and China’s affluent consumers.
Through conversations with some of our clients in the luxury industry we have identified five questions that are high on their strategic agendas for the Chinese market.
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.
