Global Luxury in Transition: Key Findings from the Bain Market Study<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The global luxury market stabilized in 2025 following the post-pandemic surge, with total spending holding near \u20ac1.44 trillion. Growth increasingly shifted toward experiences such as hospitality and fine dining, while personal luxury goods remained broadly stable at approximately \u20ac358 billion. Jewelry and select small indulgences outperformed, while leather goods and footwear declined amid price sensitivity. Regional performance diverged, with relative resilience in the Americas and continued pressure in China and Japan. The industry faced ongoing customer attrition, particularly among aspirational buyers, alongside declining profitability driven by higher costs and increased promotional activity. Looking ahead, moderate growth is expected, with performance increasingly dependent on product discipline, operational efficiency, and customer retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inherited Wealth and Global Buyers Set to Power Luxury Real Estate Growth in 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sotheby\u2019s International Realty\u2019s 2026 outlook predicts continued strength in the luxury housing market, outperforming traditional real estate despite broader economic uncertainty. Growth is driven by wealthy buyers who are less sensitive to interest rates, rising international demand, and a major global transfer of inherited wealth. Many purchasers are adding second or third homes rather than buying primary residences, prioritizing lifestyle, privacy, and long-term value. Foreign buyer activity has surged, particularly in U.S. gateway and lifestyle markets. Multigenerational living is also reshaping luxury home design, reinforcing high-end real estate as both an investment and a legacy asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
