LVMH contributes more to France’s exports than traditional agricultural products like Camembert and wine. With 4% of French exports last year valued at $26.32 billion (€23.5 billion), LVMH’s global sales surpass the agricultural sector’s 3.2% contribution, highlighting the luxury industry’s significance to France’s trade balance. Despite challenges in markets like China and the US, LVMH remains resilient, with strong sales in Europe and Asia. Leadership changes, including Bernard Arnault’s sons joining the board, signal continuity amid industry shifts. However, the luxury sector, including LVMH, has seen a slowdown in sales despite earlier post-pandemic surges.
