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. We are now seeing how technological evolution is accelerating the creation of parallel dimensions—where even garments are made of pixels and the communication between those who make fashion, and their consumers is immediate and direct. Luxury e-commerce went past the tipping point and became a vital part of the omnichannel distribution strategy for global luxury players.

The global luxury fashion market is significantly gaining momentum with the rise in the number of high-net-worth individuals worldwide. Also, factors such as the growing popularity of luxury fashion products among millennials and Generation Z, increasing brand loyalty among customers, and growing association of luxury brands with greater social acceptance are driving the market growth. Additionally, the rising adoption of advanced technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) by the fashion industry and the ever-increasing penetration of digital channels across developing markets are providing significant growth opportunities for vendors in the market.
