Luxury goods industry
Generally speaking, garments, accessories, jewellery, watches, fragrances and cosmetics are considered to be constituent parts of the luxury market. The U.S. luxury goods market has continued to soar to post-crisis heights in 2014, with its fifth year of growth. Globally, luxury goods sales are expected to exceed 220 billion euros by 2014.

One weak spot for luxury goods, however, has long been online retailing, with luxury consumers not only wanting the product but also the in-store experience to go with it.

As luxury expands into more industries expect a more mature segmented market. As a result, consumers should also become more rational.
