What happened
The global luxury market saw a 2.7% decline in 2024, reaching $462.3 billion, driven by a loss in consumer confidence. LVMH maintained a 24.3% market share in 2024, despite experiencing a 3.6% sales decline due to dampened demand. LVMH has struggled with the global slowdown, particularly weaker demand connected to China.
