The luxury market is experiencing fundamental transformation as a result of the advent of a new customer group — none other than the Gen Z. Not limited to their language, subculture, particular interests, and tech readiness, Gen Zers are revolutionising the very core of the luxury market. The influence of Gen Z on the luxury sector as more of them enter the high networth segment cannot be understated. They’re known for their commitment to sustainability, digital presence, affinity for authenticity and personalization, and preference for accessible luxury experiences.

Luxury firms have been striving to develop lasting relationships with Gen Z consumers and prosper in the fast shifting luxury market by utilising the power of digital platforms, providing personalised experiences, and exploring creative business models.
