Major world luxury groups
Market trends in the 2020s
The presence of luxury companies is global. For luxury goods, globalization is advantageous in terms of production costs and sales volume. Since the post-2020 health crisis, relocated and interdependent production has proven to be a major supply risk, even for big luxury brands.
Digitalization challenges
Luxury groups are accelerating their transition to digitalization. An uncertain global economy and the global transport restrictions continued to shake up luxury industry. Distribution must innovate to face post-2020 restrictions, and all kind of economy threats. Thus, digitization is an opportunity for the major luxury brands, to adapt in this economic context.

Le contexte de la mondialisation
La mondialisation des échanges économiques présente un avantage sur les coûts de production et le volume des ventes. Mais depuis la crise sanitaire à partir de 2020, la production délocalisée et en interdépendance s’est révélé être un risque majeur pour les approvisionnements, également pour les grandes marques de luxe.
Les enjeux de la digitalisation
Les groupes de luxe accélèrent le virage de la digitalisation.
La digitalisation des moyens de distribution présente une opportunité pour contourner cette incertitude. Les grandes marques de luxe qui pourront s’adapter dans un contexte conjoncturel devenu incertain, sauront tirer leur épingle du jeu.
