  • Mattel unveiled its new, $300 3D Printer, the “ThingMaker,” which will allow children to print their own toys at home
  • While there are affordably priced 3D printers available today, the software that works with them can sometimes have a learning curve that can hinder adoption. With the new application, live now on iOS and Android, the goal was to make it easy enough for anyone to design their own toys – even younger children
  • The idea isn’t just to print an object and be done, however – instead, kids will print parts that can be assembled to form larger creations, like dolls, robots, dinosaurs, scorpions, skeletons, bracelets or necklaces, for example

  • Consumers in China spent $116.8 billion on luxury goods abroad in 2015
  • This translates to 46% of the global volume of high-end goods, which includes branded leather goods, cosmetics and electronics, according to consultants at Beijing-based Fortune Character Group, which derived these figures from the revenues of some 20,000 brands.
  • The government says that 120 million Chinese tourists — just about 1% of the population — went overseas in 2015, and contributed to 12% of global spending on their holidays.

  • Many Chinese buyers are keen to make their high-end purchases overseas because luxury goods imported into China are priced at a premium, in part because of high import tariffs. The China Chamber of International Commerce found last year that high-end goods were priced at up to 68% higher in China compared to prices in the U.S. and Europe.
  • This has resulted in many overseas brands shutting their mainland stores, such as French fashion house Louis Vuitton, which closed stores in Guangzhou, Harbin and Urumqi last year. Other luxury goods brands such as Burberry, Hermes, Armani and Prada also shut outlets in China over the past two years.
  • Some brands remain bullish on China, however. Apple, for one, has been aggressively expanding in the country in the past year, and has set a goal to have 40 stores in Greater China by mid-2016
  • Domestic retail has been growing as an economic driver for the country, as the economy faces its slowest growth rate in two decades. Consumption contributed to 66.4% of GDP in 2015, up 15.4% from 2014.
