Unilever Is Upbeat About 2023 Following 10.5 Percent Uptick
LONDON — Unilever has began the yr on a high, with underlying sales up 10.5 percent to 14.8 billion euros in the primary fiscal quarter and a positive outlook for the yr ahead. The maker of brands starting from Dove to Domestos said that sales rose 7 percent year-on-year within the three months to March 31, driven by a mixture of price and volume growth.

Bain: China’s Luxury Market Contracted 10 Percent in 2022
LONDON — With waves of tense lockdowns and rounds of crackdowns on the tech, real estate and entertainment sectors in 2022, China’s personal luxury sales contracted for the primary time in five years, a Bain report published Tuesday revealed. The “Setting a Recent Pace for Personal Luxury Growth in China” report estimated that spending in the private luxury space in China shrank by 10 percent in 2022.

The report said the watch market saw the sharpest decline, with sales falling by 20 percent to 25 percent from 2021. Fashion and lifestyle categories saw a 15...
