China’s luxury market in 2024: VICs, omnichannel & CRM strategies.
Despite economic challenges prompting increased savings among over half of Chinese consumers in 2023, China’s luxury market experienced a rebound, fueled by financially resilient core luxury consumers. In this landscape, Very Important Customers (VICs) have emerged as pivotal drivers of consumption, inducing luxury brands to pivot their focus from entry-level consumers.

In tandem with this shift, brands are embracing digital innovations to cater to digitally-savvy Chinese consumers, facilitating instant communication across online and offline platforms. The convergence of digital and physical realms is evident as omni-channel strategies redefine retail practices. CRM systems provide crucial tools for creating highly personalized customer experiences, enabling luxury brands to tailor marketing, communication, and offerings to meet the unique preferences of their clientele, fostering lasting loyalty.

The insights provided in this report, crafted in collaboration with Daxue Consulting, shed light on the evolving landscape of China's luxury market and offer valuable guidance for luxury brands aiming to navigate this dynamic environment effectively.
