During the 1990s the global luxury industry was mainly in North America and Western Europe. Since then, we have seen a major boom in the global luxury industry expanding to Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. China, Russia, India, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and other countries have emerged or are emerging as important markets in the luxury industry. The United States of America and Europe are overwhelmingly largest markets. Smart devices, robotisation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, social media platforms, e-commerce, changing consumer behaviours, generations Y and Z, are changing the luxury industry at the same time. We are seeing the rise of digital-native luxury brands, which can reach out to global audiences but the largest sales are made in shops. In 2019, 10 per cent of luxury sales were made online. In contrast, 90 per cent of the sale was made in shops and department stores. Online sales are increasing slowly and steadily, and this is the reason why digital capabilities are essential to survive in the future.
