Welcome to the eighth edition of Global Powers of Luxury Goods. FY2020 proved to be a challenging year and most luxury goods companies concentrated their efforts on managing their business through the pandemic. However, it was also a disruptive year in many positive ways and companies implemented genuine changes in their strategies. The commitment to a more environmentally friendly and inclusive fashion and luxury industry is real and there is increased focus on raising awareness among current and future consumers. As many parts of the world are opening up and consumers are returning to physical stores and live events, digitalization continues to be important.

Luxury e-commerce went past the tipping point and became a vital part of the omnichannel distribution strategy for global luxury players.

In the early months of 2021, the world was faced with both promise and peril. On the positive side, the distribution of vaccines for COVID-19 was under way, offering the promise that, sometime later in the year, the negative impact of the virus could abate significantly. On the negative side, the virus continued to threaten economic stability, especially in those parts of the world where it was still prevalent and threatened to be a problem elsewhere if new and virulent strains of the virus were spread widely. Even in places where the outbreak was limited, there was a negative economic impact from social distancing measures to avoid a further outbreak. The challenge for policymakers was to control the current outbreak, protect those who have been disrupted by it, and speed up the distribution of approved vaccines. The speed and success of these three imperatives will determine the path of the global economy in the year ahead.
