The luxury fashion industry is facing substantial challenges in 2024, as brands like Burberry, Hugo Boss, and Mulberry grapple with declining sales and reduced growth forecasts. HSBC now predicts a modest 2.8% growth, marking this year as one of the worst for luxury in two decades. Key markets like China and the U.S. are contributing to the downturn, with Burberry’s shares dropping 16% and Hugo Boss down 7.5%, highlighting a broad trend in consumer caution and economic shifts.
