Weak Asian market

Bain report, a consultancy, points out that the global luxury market growth is expected to be only 4% to 6% this year, mainly due to the weakness of Asian markets, which is unchanged from 2013.

Among them, China's market growth is expected to be 2% to 4%, much lower than the two digit growth achieved in 2010 and 2011.

The report points out that mainland China, Hongkong and Macao are the hardest hit areas of luxury goods sales this year.

In addition, Japan raised its consumption tax in April this year, which also limits the ability to consume luxury goods. The sluggish sales in these regions have led to the dismal performance of major luxury companies in the Asia Pacific region.

Last year, sales in the Asia Pacific region accounted for 40% of the total sales volume of the group.

The group issued a report that the demand situation in the Chinese market will no longer return to its previous prosperity, and the global luxury industry has entered a period of long-term moderate growth.

However, Bernard Fornas, Global CEO and chief executive officer of Cartire group, believes that the downward trend of China's market consumption is temporary. With the increase of tourism, the sales volume of Chinese market will rise again CEO.

In addition to traditional

The consumer market is not strong enough, and the latest smart products launched by technology giants are also affecting the watch business of the luxury goods giant's traditional business.

Citigroup expects that with the recent launch of Watch by Apple Corp, by 2018, the $5 billion watch market will be robbed by smart watches.

The old luxury goods giant is unwilling to sit still. The TAG Heuer, the watch brand of LVMH, announced that it is ready to launch smart watches and compete with apple smart watch Watch.

"We want to launch a smart watch with TAG Heuer brand, but it must not be an imitation of Watch," Jean Claude Bif, director of watch business at Lu Wei Min Xuan, said.
