Despite an economic roller coaster and a moderate Worldwide Risk Score (WRS) of 4.6 out of 10, the sector remains resilient. Luxury, it seems, has a tenacity that cannot be easily undermined.
Fueling this resilience is the sector’s growing appeal in emerging markets.

And let’s not forget the digital frontier. As e-commerce platforms bring luxury to doorsteps, brands are faced with the challenge of replicating the exclusive in-store experience in the virtual space. It’s a thrilling era of innovation as luxury explores new ways of enchanting its customers.
