Luxury Spending Surge Continues in China Even as Wealthy Throttle Back on Purchases in Europe, Japan and U.S.; Half of Wealthy Chinese Plan to Spend More on Luxury This Year, Compared to Just 6% in the U.S., Japan and Germany
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/28/11 -- Wealthy shoppers from seven countries around the globe earning at least $150,000 (in local currency) reveal candid attitudes on luxury brands and personal spending plans in the "2011 State of the Luxury Industry: A Global Comparison of Consumers in Top Markets." The just-completed survey conducted by the independent and objective New York City-based shows strong increases in luxury spending continuing to come from China, while restraint is more widespread in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy and Japan.
More than half (57%) of wealthy Chinese shoppers say that the current economic environment has prompted them to spend more on luxury in the past year; 50% plan to boost spending in the next 12 months. This compares to just 10% of the wealthy in the U.S. who have stepped up spending recently and 6% who plan to spend more this year. In the U.S., consumers are twice as likely as they are in China (32% vs. 16%) to have trimmed luxury spending last year.
More than half of wealthy Chinese expect to boost spending on luxury travel, apparel, fitness, jewelry and shoes.
"China is clearly driving growth in global luxury brands," says . "Exclusivity and prestige continue to be highly prized by wealthy Chinese consumers, even more than in the U.S. or Europe."
