AI is significantly transforming LVMH’s revenuedistribution across geographic markets, particularly through personalized customer experiences and demand forecasting. In China, LVMH’s largest growth market, the company has implemented AI-powered virtual try-on technology for its beauty brands like Sephora, allowing customers to test makeup virtually through mobile apps. This innovation has driven a 25% increase in online conversion rates in the Chinese market, contributing to China’s rise to represent nearly 11% of LVMH’s total revenue in 2023, up from 8% in 2019. The AI technology has been particularly effective during lockdowns and among younger Chinese consumers who prefer digital-first shopping experiences. Additionally, LVMH uses AI algorithms to predict regional demand patterns, enabling better inventory allocation across markets and reducing stockouts in high-growth Asian markets while optimizing supply chain — as explored in how AI is restructuring the traditional value chain — s in mature European and American markets, ultimately reshaping the geographic distribution of sales.
