Luxury in Transition: Securing Future Growth - Bain & Company
The 2024 Bain-Altagamma Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study highlights a significant turning point for the industry, marking the first real-term slowdown in 15 years (excluding the COVID-19 pandemic) . While total luxury spending reached approximately €1.5 trillion , the personal luxury goods segment dipped by to €363 billion at current exchange rates.

- The Forecast: The personal luxury goods market is expected to grow roughly +1% to +3% at current exchange rates in 2024.
- The Value: This puts the market size at approximately €363 billion, a new high, but one reached at a snail’s pace compared to previous years.
- The Reality: While the top-line numbers show growth, they mask a contraction in volumes. Prices have been hiked aggressively over the last two years, inflating revenue even as fewer items are sold.

- Pricing Discipline: Brands cannot continue aggressive price hikes without offering corresponding quality or innovation. Consumers are becoming sensitive to the "price-to-value" ratio.
- Experiential Luxury: The boundary between goods and experiences is blurring. Brands are urged to integrate hospitality, events, and services into their retail models to capture a share of the growing "Experiential Luxury" market (which is outpacing personal goods).
