## Resource

Episode 107: China's luxury goods market, once the engine of global sales for brands like LVMH and Gucci, is hitting a rough patch. Consumer confidence is weak, property wealth is shrinking, and the youth job crisis is biting discretionary spending. Lucas and Luna dig into the numbers: LVMH's Q2 2026 sales in China fell 8% year-over-year, and the broader Chinese luxury market is expected to contract 3% this year. Meanwhile, domestic brands like Shang Xia are gaining share. What does this mean for global luxury giants? Should they double down on China or pivot to India and Southeast Asia? And how are brands adapting their strategies—from more accessible price points to doubling down on experiential retail in lower-tier cities? We also touch on the role of resale platforms and the 'she-conomy' shift away from conspicuous consumption. A focused look at a seismic shift in the world's most important luxury market. #LuxuryGoods #ChinaEconomy #LVMH #Gucci #ShangXia #ConsumerSpending #RetailStrategy #EmergingMarkets #BrandStrategy #Sheconomy #ResaleMarket #ExperientialRetail #EconomicSlowdown #DiscretionarySpending #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #ChinaMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
