对中国80后、90后来说,自我价值才是奢侈品
As generations evolve, so too do their markers of luxury. Price points, heritage and access barriers that once defined luxury along a clear spectrum have given way to something more multi-dimensional for Chinese millennial consumers. Whether post-80s, post-90s or even post-95s, this powerful demographic is redefining what affluent consumerism means, and just as they seek more latitude in their personal identities, they are also expanding the definition of new luxury. Unlike their western equivalents, however, Chinese millennials have created a value system of human intangibles that speak to their own unique needs and experiences. Mining the value of today There’s a growing need for self-actualization among affluent Chinese millennials. From travel to apparel and business, realizing one’s potential in the here-and-now is becoming more and more important. Freedom to move between spaces Yes, they embrace the historic social and cultural systems they were raised in, but at the same time, they eagerly move toward a more global vision of the future. These are consumers who both honor their heritage and simultaneously find it important to act as global citizens. Finding a higher value system Searching for a higher framework – one with perhaps more latitude and room for exploration – is one of the highest life changing elements of value for Chinese millennials. The luxury of connection As fragmented and diverse as Chinese millennials may be, this group shares one thing in common – the perceived luxury of connection. |
