<\/span>Luxury was online before most of retail took it seriously<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A flagship boutique on Bond Street or Via Montenapoleone has always had a digital equivalent. Luxury brands built lavish, image-led websites years before mass retail treated e-commerce as anything more than a discount channel, and SEO followed naturally: if the store mattered, so did whether people could find it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That relationship is being tested again. The luxury market spent most of last year stabilising rather than growing. According to the Bain-Altagamma Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study, personal luxury goods sales came in at roughly \u20ac358 billion, a mild contraction from 2024 that amounted to a broadly flat performance once exchange rates are stripped out. What sits underneath that headline is more interesting than the number itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Growth hasn’t disappeared. It has concentrated<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only 40% to 45% of brands reported positive revenue growth in 2025, broadly in line with 2024 but well below the 65% seen in 2023 and the 95% recorded during the 2022 rebound. Specialist players outperformed generalists, with more than 70% of the brands that grew in 2025 being specialists, while roughly half of the industry’s \u00a35 billion-plus groups saw revenues decline. Scale stopped being a reliable growth strategy some time ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consumer base tells a similar story. The industry lost around 20 million consumers in 2025, bringing the global active client base to about 330 million, down from 400 million in 2022 and back to roughly its 2013 size. Only 40% to 45% of the total addressable population bought personal luxury goods in 2025, compared with around 60% in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That reshuffling matters for anyone selling into this smaller, pickier customer base. The brands still winning are earning it, and increasingly that fight is being decided before a shopper ever reaches a product page. That’s where the opportunity for search sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Consumers are researching value, meaning and trust before they buy<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Capgemini’s What Matters to Today’s Consumer 2026<\/em> study, based on a survey of 12,000 consumers across 12 countries, found that price alone no longer defines value for shoppers. Quality, trust and emotional connection now matter just as much. 74% of consumers said they would switch brands for lower regular prices, which tells us price sensitivity hasn’t disappeared, it has simply stopped being the only lever. Brands are being judged on fairness, consistency and clarity of communication alongside cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same research found a research behaviour shifting sharply toward AI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
