A shift in consumer behavior in China is leading to a decline in demand for Western luxury brands like Chanel and Gucci, as a phenomenon termed "luxury-phobia" emerges. Consumers are favoring local brands that offer better value and cultural resonance. The economic backdrop includes a stagnant property market and a growing social stigma against ostentatious spending. As a result, brands that adapt to local preferences and prioritize utility over status are thriving, while traditional luxury brands face challenges in this new landscape.

A shift in consumer behavior in China, termed "luxury-phobia," is leading to a decline in demand for Western luxury brands as consumers favor local brands that offer better value and cultural resonance. This change is driven by stagnant property values and a growing social stigma against conspicuous consumption. Brands like Songmont and Li-Ning are thriving, while traditional luxury brands face challenges. The Chinese government is attempting to stimulate spending through social safety nets, but consumers remain cautious amid deflationary pressures. The era of easy growth for Western brands in China is over.
