Demand for Luxury Goods Soars
Name-brand handbags and jewelry are selling fast. Many lux brands have more than doubled their sales in the U.S. since the pandemic began.
DCA Insight:
Wealthy consumers are of course more immune to challenges facing most shoppers. Walmart reports consumers have pared back on buying clothes, and Amazon has indicated a recent e-commerce slow down. Look for the dichotomy to continue in our new-normal marketplace.
Open Questions for Leaders:
- How can luxury goods merchants navigate the difficult distribution landscape of 2022?
- Will high-income consumers eventually respond to continued inflation, and if so, how can digital marketing and loyalty programs get ahead of that shift?
- 2021 saw a Holiday spending season that mirrored 2019. What will the 2022 shopping season look like?
