Luxury Goods - The Decline in Global Demand

Jim Riley

17th October 2014

It seems that all is not well in the global market for luxury goods. There is increasing evidence of a slowdown in demand for luxury products. One reason is slower economic growth in the emerging economies. The geo-political environment isn't helping either, with unrest in the Ukraine and Hong Kong contributing to consumer unease. Add in the worries over the Ebola outbreak and a clampdown on public corruption in China - it is not hard to see why demand for luxury goods is weakening.But, is there another underlying reason - are consumers also getting fatigued with some luxury brands?This useful FT video explores the issues.
