While luxury brands had a field day in global markets, brands like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Celine made notable gains in the Chinese market.

The sale of these products soared 30 per cent in China. It is reported that luxury brands had a strong footing in China as the country is rebounding after coronavirus-related restrictions were lifted and the economy started regaining pace. 

What dominance brands like LVMH, Hermès, and Richemont have in the market can be gauged by the fact that 75 percent of the global luxury industry's earnings came from these three brands.   

It is estimated that the luxury brand industry in FY24 will grow 8-10 per cent.
