Description
The global market for personal luxury goods, valued at an impressive US$341 billion, underscores the world's enduring fascination with exclusivity and prestige. Home to some of the world's most iconic and sought-after brands, this market transcends mere monetary value - it represents the pinnacle of design, quality and brand stature. While broader consumer sectors made early leaps into the digital realm, luxury maintained its traditional commitment to the brick-and-mortar experience.
However, the advent of COVID-19 and subsequent health mandates in many parts of the world required many luxury companies to pivot their business strategy and increase their investment in the digital channel. Despite the vastness of the luxury market, there are many information gaps because most luxury companies, especially privately held ones, are reluctant to share detailed financial data.
In particular, two limitations prevent us from gaining detailed insights into the global online luxury market: First, brand-level information is scarce. Even if companies are forced to publish their annual figures, they are generally not required to report brand-level data. Second, only a minority of companies publish detailed information into their online sales share. With this report, we aim to paint a holistic picture of the global luxury online market that focuses on these two aspects. Through market and brand-level insights, we assess the balance between online and offline sales, D2C versus B2B distribution, and regional sales trends. We also examine the defining characteristics of luxury companies and brands - from their quality and exclusivity to their strategic market positioning. This research is designed to provide stakeholders with actionable insights tailored to the ever-changing luxury arena.
