is now the first and only country where at least a quarter of all purchases. According to , female buyers accounted for 26 percent of the Italian supercar maker’s sales in (not including Taiwan or Hong Kong) over the past five years.

Douyin, which you can think of as China’s TikTok, often reportedly showcases videos of young women driving Ferraris.

Executives over at the prancing horse seem well aware of this trend. All the way back in 2010, the company’s former CEO reportedly said that one-fifth of the previous year’s sales in China were to . Back then, shipment into China was only about one-seventh of where it is at today.
