A new trend is emerging in the luxury sector with the growing appetite of new generations for these products. According to many experts, the under 25s represent the most significant consumer segment. Digital, consumer experience, brand detachment, etc. Millennials have completely disrupted the economy.

 

The adaptation of luxury brands to the new generation

The "new luxury", which has become more accessible thanks to financial globalization and the arrival of digital technology, must now seduce customers who are less and less loyal to companies, but who still expect more. With the financialization of economies and the globalization of trade, the luxury sector has become more democratic without losing its characteristics: rarity, selectivity, aestheticism and exclusivity. Now, the big names in the sector must offer more advanced interactive experiences to attract new generations and provoke emotion by combining know-how and imagination.

In response to contemporary trends, major luxury brands have changed their selling proposition, while retaining the experiential character that defines it. Covid-19 has encouraged the growth of online sales and stimulated the digitization of the entire luxury shopping journey. Stores are going online or often becoming bespoke spaces for the customer. 

With the evolution of social networks over the last few years, the new generations want to have a sense of belonging to the luxury world. These young players no longer just buy a product, they carefully choose a brand because it encompasses their lifestyle and values. The big brands have understood that social networks are becoming more and more important in this universe and can offer individuality and personalization occasions catering the needs of such consumers.

This perpetual search for individuality and personalization pushes brands to launch new products on the market and multiply the references in production.
