Outlook
Perfumes & Cosmetics
LVMH, a major player in the perfumes, make-up and skincare sector, relies primarily on a portfolio of brands representing French companies with an international presence –
Christian Dior,
Guerlain,
Givenchy and
Kenzo.
The group also supports the development of high-potential “niche” brands
BeneFit Cosmetics and
Fresh, two rapidly growing American brands;
Acqua di Parma, a brand that symbolizes Italian elegance;
Parfums Loewe, one of the leaders in the Spanish market; and
Make Up For Ever, a strong favorite of professional make-up artists which recorded outstanding growth as it opens up towards the general public.
Outlook
Watches & Jewelry
The most recent of the LVMH business groups holds a portfolio of luxury watch brands with highly complementary market positions. This business group benefits in particular from
TAG Heuer’s
stature as the world leader in luxury sport chronographs and watches and from the solid vitality of the
Hublot
brand, which joined LVMH in 2008. The business group also relies on the watchmaking expertise of
Zenith, a member of the select group of true Swiss watchmakers, the development and transition to high-end products of
Dior Watches
and on the creativity of the jewelry collections from
Chaumet,
Fred and
De Beers.
The name recognition of these brands and the vitality of their lines and iconic products make LVMH one of the best performing groups in the market.
Outlook
Selective Retailing
The LVMH Selective Retailing companies operate in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Their businesses are conducted in two segments: retailing designed for customers who are international travellers (“travel retail”), the business of
DFS
and
Miami Cruiseline, leaders in their market segments; and the selective retailing concepts represented by
Sephora, the most innovative company in the beauty segment, and
Le Bon Marché, the department store with a unique atmosphere located on the Left Bank in Paris.
