The Business of Luxury
The luxury market is soaring with 5-year outlooks showing momentous growth for these upper-tier business segments. In addition to the boom taking place, analysts have identified something fascinating about this new growth. Paradigm shifts are transforming the very nature of luxury and luxury consumer expectations. Understand what’s happening and learn how to tap into the surge.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
After the years of austerity and isolation brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, customers are returning to luxury. They’re ready to indulge and treat themselves, but with the re-emergence of luxury, new consumer values are also arising. Learn about these paradigm shifts. Digitisation and ‘Instagrammable moments’ are among the factors challenging a number of the fundamental premises of luxury brands. Related to this, the rise of millennial consumers is resulting in changing spending habits across generations. Status has become less about ‘what I have’ and more about ‘who I am’. Travel, shopping and dining—in addition to being financial transactions—are increasingly emotional investments, and customers expect an experience where the memory becomes the product.
The global luxury market is set to achieve revenues of €332 billion in 2023 and, according to Boston Consulting Group and the French luxury goods association Comité Colbert, this is expected to climb to €494 billion by 2026. Almost two-thirds of that growth will take place in markets outside of Europe and the U.S. This course will empower you to take advantage of that growth.
