Luxury Goods Market Outlook: 2025–2030
Executive Summary
From 2025–2030, the luxury goods market will be powered by young consumers (Late Millennials, GenZ, early Gen Alpha) whose spending is anchored in scarcity, cultural signaling, digital and real-world asset ownership models.

Emerging technologies, internet culture, and fandom mechanics will accelerate demand and redefine acquisition channels.
