The Hurun Research Institute's Best of the Best Awards 2015, part of the Chinese Luxury Consumer Survey (CLCS), is in its 11th year. In it, the firm reveals the brand preferences, consumption habits and lifestyle trends of China’s wealthiest individuals. The CLCS is widely regarded as a benchmark.
The Chinese government’s crackdown on gifting continues to have its effect, while travel retail is changing the dynamics of luxury in China, with seven out of 10 luxury goods bought by Chinese overseas, according to Rupert Hoogewerf Hurun's chairman and chief researcher.
There are three categories of awards. The Best of the Best is for the overall winner of a category. The Star Performer is for the product or service with the best year-on-year performance. The Best New Arrival is for a product or service launched into China in the past 12 months that has shaken up the market.
Between June and December 2014, 376 Mainland Chinese ‘millionaires’, defined as individuals with a personal wealth of RMB 10 million (equivalent to US$1.6 million), were surveyed. Among them were 27 'super-rich', defined as individuals with wealth of RMB 100 million (US$16 million). Their average wealth was US$6.8 million. The age was 38 years (39 among the super-rich band). The ratio of men to women surveyed was 6:4. Respondents come from 40 cities, 63 per cent in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
