Luxury brands that could be most affected by China's financial crisis says Deutsche Bank
According to Deutsche Bank, those luxury brands relying most heavily on Chinese buyers are Swatch with 49% of sales coming from China, Richemont, owner of brands such as Cartier, Dunhill and Montblanc, at 41%, Ferragamo at 38% and Gucci and Hermes both at 35%. &nbsp;Analysts are predicting that the the global luxury sector is about to take a big hit and there are concerns that nobody really knows how bad China's economy will get.
Chinese consumers have been the largest buyers of luxury products in the world over the last decade. According to Reuters, Chinese luxury spending accounts for as much as 45 percent of the global market. So can luxury brands afford a devalued renminbi. China’s triple yuan devaluation is expected to take a big toll on the global luxury sector, which has already been hurt by Beijing’s tough anti-corruption drive. Firstly with the yuan devaluation, goods sold in China converted into dollars or euros will now account for less and that will hurt earnings.

According to Deutsche Bank some of the companies that rely most on China for revenue are Swatch which gets 20 % of revenue from mainland china. China makes up 14 % of global sales for Ferragamo, Burberry and Gucci and around 11% for Hermes.

But keep in mind that more than 100 million Chinese travel abroad every year, buying more designer handbags, watches and jewelry than any other nation -in fact the Chinese spend more abroad on luxury goods than they do at home and their purchasing power just took a big hit – with the yuan weaker in relation to other currencies. And the bigger concern for luxury brands is how it affects Chinese spending outside China.

According to Deutsche bank here are the top brands relying most Chinese buyers globally. 49 % of Swatch’s sales comes from Chinese buyers and 41 % for Richemont. Ferragamo depends on Chinese shoppers for 38% of sales and Gucci and Hermes both 35%.
