Emerging Markets To Drive Growth In Luxury Spending

Posted on 22.05.10

Luxury spending in the US has surprised on the upside since the beginning of this year and there is a clear link between equity markets and consumer spending. While an improvement in the luxury market was anticipated, especially given the low comparison base from last year, the rebound is stronger than expected. Growth is mainly driven by emerging markets, particularly in China where the luxury industry is booming, driven by increasing wealth and a strong affection for Western luxury brands. Last year, the global recession, rising unemployment and falling equity markets dampened the lust for spending. Unemployment remains elevated and household debt is still high, but it is not the average consumer that counts when it comes to luxury spending. In the US for example, 60% of income is earned by the top 20% households. The S&P 500 is now up about 70% from its lows a year ago and many people are close or back to pre-crisis wealth levels.
