Luxury market’s last quarter growth hinges on China’s reopening

It will also be boosted by consumer confidence in Europe and America.

The performance of the luxury market in the last quarter of the year will be largely affected by the lifting of pandemic-related restrictions in China, Bain & Company reported. 

The last quarter's performance will also be boosted by consumer confidence in Europe and America amidst rising inflation and cost of living.
