Read and summarize this article

The global luxury market in China is already a billion-dollar industry and is still growing at a significant rate. In order to continue this growth, the luxury brand entities need to understand their consumers (both young and old) and how to appeal to different demographics.

Looking to broaden their scope, many luxury brands have created innovative marketing campaigns utilizing social media platforms, exhibits, livestreams, e-commerce, and digital experiences, including the popular Weibo, Douyin, and WeChat platforms in China (similar to Twitter, Tik Tok and Facebook in the West). In addition, augmented reality is also used by some brands (try on those fabulous sunglasses before you buy!) as they attempt to appeal to a wider and younger customer base to maintain their growth rates. Engaging and interactive digital displays all show the upward trend in both larger and smaller cities for upping one’s fashion and luxury brand style choices.

Celebrities and influencers continue to be at the forefront of the evolution of these brands, as many companies are using these third parties to appeal to a wider audience and increase their advertising reach, as well as seeking them out for collaborations or partnerships.
