令人亢奋的中国市场

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

2005年全球奢侈品市场规模已经扩大至1430亿美元, 据环球奢侈品网(CCLUXURY)2005年的调查:中国在奢侈品市场中占全球销售额的12%,日本41%,美国17%,欧洲各国16%。根据安永事务 所的一份报告,中国目前已经是世界第三大奢侈品消费国。每年的奢侈品销售额超过20亿美元,并正在以20%的年增长额不断增长。到2015年销售额将超过 115亿美元。届时,中国在奢侈品方面的消费总量将占全球29%。而荟萃了法国69家知名品牌的精品企业联盟“科尔贝委员会”更是提出,中国将在2011 年前后成为世界第一大奢侈品消费国。 全球的奢侈品厂商们都在因为中国而心情亢奋, 看看这些让人心花怒放的数据:目前中国消费者在日用消费品上的花费超过5000亿美元;1.7亿 中国人有能力购买时尚品牌;大约1300万左右的人有足够的收入可以考虑购买高档的奢侈品。他们之中既有身价千万甚至上亿的富豪,挥金如土;也有月收入几 千元的上班族,愿意花1个月甚至更多的工资追求最新最流行的产品。 Prada 早有在上海开设概念旗舰店Epicenter的意向,可是选址总是让公司很头疼——甚至连交通不很方便的外滩都已经排得满满当当。许多品牌为了进驻上海恒 隆广场,不得不耐心地等上几年。即便如此,要求进驻开店的商家还是排起了长长的waiting list,不禁让人联想起该广场里Hermes店内,等着要买Birkin皮包的顾客名单早已排到了若干年之后。在这个奢侈品行业急剧膨胀的时代,中国的 高档商铺和高档皮包一样供不应求。 短短数年间,大型奢侈品生产商已在中国开设了超过三百间分店。路易威登高调宣布,每年将在中国开设三至四家专卖店,相信在未来20年内,中国将是他们最大的市场。
