International Business Management Studies in Luxury Goods EuroPort Business School

The luxury industry has doubled in size over the past 10 years, reflecting an increasingly global presence. Traditionally a sector associated with Europe, luxury brands are expanding into the markets of the fast-developing BRICS economies.

Asia in general, and China in particular, are now recognized as the biggest potential markets for luxury goods. Recent luxury brand sales clearly demonstrate that Asian consumers love luxury items. Luxury brands are now targeting the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to increase their growth rates, which is a clear indicator of bright prospects for the luxury business.
