Chanel profits drop sharply as luxury downturn bites

  • Chanel, a French luxury group, reported a 28.2 percent net profit drop to US$3.4 billion in 2024 amid a global luxury downturn.
  • The decline resulted from challenging macroeconomic conditions affecting sales in some markets, especially in Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
  • Despite the drop, Chanel made record investments in 2024, acquiring prestige properties, expanding stores globally, and planning further growth in China, India, and Mexico.
  • Chanel's CFO Philippe Blondiaux described US tariffs as "extremely volatile" and said they await discussion outcomes before deciding on price hikes, while CEO Leena Nair called China a key market.
  • The results raise questions about Chanel's usual biannual price increases amid external headwinds, but the company emphasizes a long-term strategy and financial solidity.
