Global Luxury Market Trends 2025-2027
The global luxury market is undergoing a profound transformation heading into 2025-2027, driven by generational shifts and regional dynamics. Despite recent economic uncertainties, the sector has shown resilience: global spending on luxury goods and experiences reached a record €1.5 trillion in 2024 (8-10% higher than 2023). Behind these figures lie new consumer profiles. Younger generations (Gen Z and millennials) are gaining prominence while emerging regions (particularly Asia-Pacific) drive growth, redefining what luxury customers seek and how they shop. For luxury brands, understanding continental and generational differences is crucial to predict purchasing behaviors in 2025-2027.
In this executive report we analyze the psychological profiles and behavioral patterns of luxury consumers organized by both continent (Europe, Asia, North America, Latin America, Africa, and Oceania) and generation (Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers). We show recent quantitative data –including consumption percentages by segment, projected growth rates, and average spending per customer– along with insights applicable to all luxury sectors (fashion, jewelry/watches, automobiles, hospitality, travel, luxury technology, beauty, wellness, and real estate). We include empathy maps synthesizing motivations of each generation across different regions. Finally, we offer visualizations (charts and tables) highlighting key regional and generational differences, along with actionable recommendations for professionals seeking to foresee luxury consumer trends in the 2025-2027 period.
