    Study Notes

    International Luxury Market

    • Factors influencing internationalization: climate & natural hazards, language, border policy, political regimes, access to natural resources, infrastructure, demographics including religion, education, and health, and cultural factors, as well as economic factors like growth, revenues, currency, and consumption patterns.
    • Perceptions of culture: Stereotypes are strong, and impact how people view different countries and their products.
    • Reasons to Go Global: Small or saturated domestic markets, international product life cycles, market risk diversification, decreasing production costs through economies of scale, improved carbon footprint, spontaneous foreign demand, excess production, and improved brand image.
    • Risks Associated with Going Global: HR risks, cultural risks, innovation risks, political risks, financial risks.
    • Balancing Standardization and Adaptation:
      • Global Strategy: Products and offers remain homogeneous across countries, adapting only where necessary to maximize sales. Example: The Swatch Group.
      • Transnational Strategy: Products and offers remain the same across countries, but many international operations ensure cost diminution.
    • Key Players in the Western Luxury Market: Many Western luxury brands have successful international operations.
    • North American Luxury: Promised land of accessible luxury, strong in cosmetics and perfumes (Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone), and accessible luxury brands (Ralph Lauren, Capri, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger).
    • Emerging Challengers: New luxury brands are emerging from different regions, challenging established players.
    • Consumer Countries:
      • Europe: Dominated the luxury market in the past, but its share is expected to decline.
      • United States: Maintaining a steady share of the market.
      • Japan: Seeing declining demand and market share.
      • China: Fastest-growing luxury market, expected to be the largest consumer by 2050.
      • India: Significant potential market due to economic growth and a growing middle class. It is expected to experience a 25% growth in the luxury market by 2030. Challenges include few commercial infrastructures, high custom duties, and licensing contracts between Western brands and local firms.
      • Africa: Growth is driven by South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, and Ghana. Challenges: Dependence on economic growth and raw material prices, limited infrastructure, and low purchasing power, leading many African consumers to purchase luxury goods in Europe or Dubai.
      • Latin America: The luxury market is expected to increase by 5.3% annually until 2032. Challenges: Political and economic instability, protectionism, and confusion between genuine luxury, fashion, and premium products.
    • Challenges for Chinese Luxury Brands: Chinese firms struggle to overcome a lack of creativity, service training, and history. They often rely on online selling and celebrity endorsements.
