12-month strategic outlook
Growth is expected to be more selective and uneven than in the past decade, favouring brands with strong product discipline, cost control, clear positioning, and consistent execution — with sustained performance depending less on price increases and more on operational efficiency, product credibility, and customer retention.
The analyst consensus across Bain, BNP Paribas, UBS and Deutsche Bank converges on 3–6% organic growth, contingent on no further tariff escalation and a gradual Chinese recovery. The most resilient sub-segments remain hard jewelry, investment-grade watches, prestige fragrance, and luxury experiences — categories structurally anchored in the preferences of ultra-high-net-worth individuals rather than the volatile aspirational cohort.
