TRUE-LUXURY GLOBAL CONSUMER INSIGHT 2024234

Beyond Luxury consumers, with an annual personal spend of more than €50,000, represent less than 1% of the total number of luxury clients. In terms of spending, however, they account for 21% – more than 200 times the average consumer. Their importance has doubled compared with 10 years ago. Also growing in importance are Client Advisors, who form strong bonds with Beyond Luxury consumers – sometimes closer relationships than with the brands themselves. These are increasingly central and highly professional individuals whom companies must therefore attract, train, and retain.
