Luxury & Premium Goods
Excellence, expertise and international reach
An Emblematic Sector of Value and Influence
The luxury and premium goods sector embodies excellence, craftsmanship, and a country’s ability to project its image internationally. It is built on strong values: quality, innovation, heritage, creativity, and customer experience.
Beyond products, luxury is a vector of economic and cultural influence, capable of structuring complete value chains—from creation to distribution, including innovation and training.
Vision 2025–2030: Growth, Experience, and Sustainability
By the 2025–2030 horizon, the luxury sector will evolve around major trends:
-
the rise of middle and affluent classes in Asia,
-
increasing demand for authenticity, traceability, and sustainability,
-
digitalisation of customer journeys,
-
hybridisation between luxury, technology, and experience,
-
growing importance of emerging markets.
India is emerging as a long-term strategic market—still underpenetrated, yet offering strong growth potential.
