The challenge lies in recovering the ground lost during the recent slowdown in Chinese luxury spending, a decline shaped by economic uncertainty, reduced outbound tourism and shifts in domestic taxation.

These are not simply retail sites; they are immersive environments designed to strengthen desire and reinforce prestige.

In 2024, China’s luxury market faces a new challenge: “luxury shame.” This phenomenon is reshaping strategies for high-end brands due to economic downturns and government policies aimed at curbing conspicuous consumption. Chinese consumers, influenced by economic uncertainty and social pressures, now prefer discreet products that retain long-term value over flashy items perceived as excessively opulent.
This shift is not just an economic reflection but also a cultural transformation. Recent economic fluctuations in China have caused uncertainty among consumers who previously viewed luxury goods as essential status symbols. This economic instability is compounded by government measures promoting frugality and responsibility, steering consumer behavior toward more conscious and less overt displays of wealth.
