The USA vs China: The Affluent Consumer’s Mindset Post Covid-19
When it comes to luxury consumption, no other countries are as important as the USA and China, two true major wealth and luxury powerhouses. Being vital for the luxury sector, it is essential to understand what drives affluent consumers in both countries and how they have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Agility Research & Strategy has just released its US and China TrendLens™ 2021, two comprehensive studies completed in August 2020, post Covid-19, which aim to get the pulse of these two coveted consumers groups. The study covers not only shopping habits, but defines what are similarities and differences in their aspirations, needs and the way they understand and consume luxury.
Below are a snapshot of some of the findings.
It is encouraging to see that in these two major world economies, most affluent consumers believe that their overall economic well-being and income will stay the same or increase. However, affluent Chinese are more optimistic: the majority among them are confident that their economic well-being and income will keep increasing despite the Covid 19.
CHINESE CONSUMERS ARE READY TO REBOUND
A large number of American affluent women (44%) in particular expect their consumption of luxury products and experiences to decrease considerably.
