According to the report, , the world’s 100 largest luxury goods companies that generated sales of US$217 billion in FY2016 and the average luxury goods annual sales for a Top 100 company is now US$2.2 billion.

It also discusses the key trends shaping the luxury market and provides a global economic outlook.

Commenting on the socio-economic scenario and the development of Indian luxury goods sector a Deloitte India spokesperson said “India is currently undergoing a rapid digital transformation, whilst battling the challenges of high import duties, introduction of GST and unstable price parity. 

However, with a positive economic outlook the demand for luxury good segment is poised to rise in 2018. An aspirational and tech-savvy urban consumer with a higher disposable income continues to invest in newer experiences that are now available digitally and thus augments the growth of luxury products”.

“The luxury market has bounced back from economic uncertainty and geopolitical crises in 2016, edging closer to annual sales of US $1 trillion at the end of 2017.” said Patrizia Arienti, EMEA Region Fashion & Luxury Leader, Deloitte Italy.
