"(Hong Kong) will never be back to the level it was, like a decade ago, when it was the only, I would say, duty free location where Chinese would go," L'Oreal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus told Reuters. "Now they have many more options."
Duty free malls in Hainan, where tourists are the main customers, reported an 84 percent jump in sales in 2021, the latest data from consultancy Bain & Co showed, outpacing the mainland's average growth rate of 36 percent in luxury sales for that year.
Hainan also accounted for 13 percent of China's domestic luxury spend in 2021 versus 6 percent pre-pandemic, and tax regulations are set to ease further, allowing more duty-free stores to open.
That helped China's domestic luxury sales double to 471 billion yuan (US$68.8 billion) in 2021 from 2019, according to Bain. That outstripped total Hong Kong retail sales from a peak hit in 2013 at HK$494.5 billion (US$63.0 billion), according to the city's statistics department.
This imbalance in favor of increasing sales in China had big luxury brands opening stores across the country over the last few years, according to filings and company websites.
Hermes, with 27 stores in the mainland, opened a new, enlarged store in Nanjing in January, relocating to upscale mall Deji Plaza. It first opened a store in 2010 in the eastern city.
Gucci owner Kering opened nine boutiques in Greater China in 2021; upscale men's suit maker Brioni opened stores in Chengdu, Wuhan and Shenzhen; jeweler Boucheron opened two mainland stores.
