POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC--(Marketwire - March 26, 2008) - China-AsiaStocks.com, an
investor and industry portal China-Asia sector within Investorideas.com,
reports on China's growing appetite for luxury goods from fashion, to cars,
to jewelry and how both China's domestic and established well-known foreign
brands are meeting the increasing demands. With a rising number of
millionaires and a growing middle class, China is poised to become the
second biggest consumer of luxury goods by 2015.
Coach Inc. (News, Market),
BMW Group (News, Market),
Audi AG, the luxury carmaker owned by Volkswagen (News, Market), the Swatch Group
Ltd. (News, Market) and
OmniaLuo, Inc. (OTCBB : OLOU ) (http://ir.omnialuoinc.com) are just a few of
the brands that are succeeding based on understanding China's consumer
needs. Hyundai (News,
Market) is refurbishing its brand image to a new luxury car to increase
market share and appeal to the consumer's desire for high-end brands.
The fashion industry in China is changing rapidly, as Chinese consumers
want to make purchases that reflect their newfound success and social
status.
China's International Clothing and Accessories Fair "CHIC 2008," held in
Beijing March 28 - 31, 2008 is attracting some of the best in the fashion
industry. OmniaLuo, Inc. (OTCBB : OLOU ) (http://ir.omnialuoinc.com), a
domestic China-based company that designs, markets and distributes the
luxury women's apparel brand "OMNIALUO," will be exhibiting at CHIC 2008
as part of it growth and expansion strategy.
As award-winning domestic brand designer, Cindy Luo, OmniaLuo Chairwoman
and CEO, feels she has her finger on the pulse of the new breed of luxury
consumers in China, commenting, "We see many luxury brands including Dior
(News, Market) and Louis
Vuitton entering the Chinese marketplace to expand market share, selling to
Chinese consumers. Also, several foreign fashion brands have moved their
production to China -- so China is becoming an integral part of the
high-end fashion industry in all aspects. Our company understands the
consumer, knows the competition and feels we can compete with well-known
foreign luxury brands."
Coach Inc. (News, Market),
internationally desired for its luxury handbags and accessories, has
ambitious plans for its line in China but understands the need to know the
consumer. According to Coach Inc., "First and foremost, we need to
understand who our customer there is. Early learnings suggest that we have
strong equity in styling, function, quality, and authenticity among the
Chinese consumers."
Luxury car manufacturers are also gaining traction in China's new economy.
According to a study by BMW Group, "Only 3.7 percent of the Chinese
population, i.e. around 50 million people, earned enough money to buy a car
in 2002. By 2010 this figure should increase to 13 percent."
Swatch Group Ltd. (News,
Market) just reported net income for 2007 exceeded CHF1 billion for the
first time as part of a continuing global market for luxury goods,
particularly in China, with Europe and the United States also performing
well. In December 2007, The Swatch Group Ltd. announced it increased its
participation in Xinyu Hengdeli Holdings Ltd. from 7.25% to 8.09%. Xinyu
Hengdeli Holdings Ltd. is the largest watch retail chain in China and is
listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
As China builds dominance as both a manufacturer and a consumer of luxury
goods, companies that know both sides of the market have a higher chance to
succeed and grow market share. In terms of growth opportunities for luxury
brands, it has only just begun.
