2019 was a banner year for the luxury sector, with the world’s Top 100 luxury goods companies generating revenues of €231.5bn - up from €219bn in the previous year (an increase of €12.3bn). However, as the coronavirus swept across the world in 2020, the luxury sector’s success began to plummet - with sales shrinking by 23% back to €217bn in total value (estimated).
Although it is forecast that the sector will take 2 years to recover to 2019 levels, we are starting to see some positive growth; particularly in China, where there is already a 45% bounce-back.
