Luxury Leader LVMH Witnesses Decline in H1 2025 Revenues Amidst Challenging Global Economy

Hit with a turbulent global financial environment, the luxury industry braces for significant changes. Effects are evident in LVMH’s performance, the world’s leading luxury brand, that saw a minor dip in profit and revenue during the first half of 2025. Over this six-month period, the luxury retailer generated a revenue of EUR 39.8 billion, a 4% drop from its usually high standards, while profits from operations fell by 15% to EUR 9.012 billion. The company’s principal Fashion and Leather Goods division proved to be a bit of a letdown, with an 8% drop in revenue to EUR19,115 billion.

Interestingly, for watch enthusiasts, the Watches & Jewelry segment remained relatively consistent, only experiencing a 1% drop at EUR 5.150 billion. However, it is important to note that LVMH doesn’t release detailed brand-specific information within this group, so the performance between watches and jewellery is hard to determine.

Despite these hurdles, the Chairman and CEO, Bernard Arnault remains confident about the company’s exceptional long-term potential. He emphasized the commitment of the company’s teams in working diligently to further strengthen LVMH’s leadership position in the luxury goods sector.
