China consumer slowdown weighs on U.S. earnings again

From Apple to Starbucks, U.S. consumer brands are reporting yet another quarter of China sales declines.

The falling revenue in what’s been a major market for the U.S. companies comes amid tepid consumer spending in China and growing competition from homegrown brands.

Apple last week reported Greater China sales fell slightly to $15.03 billion in the three months ended Sept. 28, down from $15.08 billion in the year-ago period. The figures include sales from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

CEO Tim Cook in an earnings call attributed the “flat” performance to improved foreign exchange and noted Kantar data that said Apple had the two top-selling smartphones in urban China.

The quarterly sales decline reduced Apple’s China revenue share to 15.8% of total net sales, down from 16.9% in the year-ago period.

The iPhone maker’s sales have come under pressure from Huawei’s recovery in the Chinese smartphone market.
