China and the Chinese played a primary role in the growth of the luxury sector in the past decade. But what was once a boon for luxury goods brands is now turning around.

Chinese consumers account for the largest portion (31 percent) of global luxury spending, up from only 1 percent in 2000, according to a study by consulting firm Bain & Company. And in the past decade, thanks to China and Chinese shoppers abroad, the luxury goods market worldwide grew by 72 percent in size.
