As we enter the home shopping stretch of 2016 lets take a look back at some of the early predictions we made in January.

1. The modern luxury consumer is predominately male and men now dominate the luxury retail segment,
growing 1.5 over women. The year men’s accessories (specifically watches) are forecast to capture
29% of the luxury market and grow 8% - more than apparel and hard luxury (jewelry).

Wholesale was still the dominant selling channel within the
personal luxury goods market, capturing 66% of market share.
Retail and monobrand distribution continued to be the winning
formats.
Luxury consumers are motivated by
superior quality, craftsmanship, design
and aesthetics over brand loyalty.
