Hermès Reports Flat Sales in China Region Amid Slowing Luxury Demand
Hermès International reported flat sales growth in the China region during the third quarter, reflecting slower luxury spending amid economic challenges and spending curbs affecting affluent Chinese consumers. The Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, which accounts for around 40% of Hermès' revenue, showed no growth against analyst expectations of about 1.5%. Shares have declined significantly this year, marking the worst annual performance since 1993. Analysts note concerns over the brand's exclusivity amid increased availability of its signature products.
