Key findings

GenAI presents a pivotable moment to revolutionise luxury amidst uncertainty

The luxury industry continued its path to recovery in 2024, showing modest growth. However, leading players are facing pressures from sluggish global expansion, evolving consumer trends, rising capital costs, geopolitical uncertainty, climate change, and deglobalisation. Strategic investments in GenAI could help bridge operational gaps and strengthen key areas across luxury.

Leveraging GenAI to enrich customer online engagement

Luxury retail’s ongoing pivot to digital channels will continue to drive innovation while elevating consumer expectations for seamless, engaging and omnichannel experiences. Tech integrations such as GenAI will allow for a more intuitive shopping experience based on individual needs or preferences and thus elevating the service throughout the customer journey.

Harnessing GenAI to adapt marketing strategies to target diverse consumer segments

Leveraging GenAI-driven analysis in marketing enables brands to create more targeted and localised campaigns and make real-time adjustments based on immediate feedback. This agility allows for swift modifications to underperforming campaigns or opens up the opportunity to address newly identified product flaws, ultimately saving time and building loyalty and trust.

Revolutionising ESG verification and supply chain management with speed and accuracy

A key aspect of sustainability in the luxury fashion sector is tackling overproduction and overconsumption. GenAI-driven inventory management and manufacturing optimisation can better align production with demand, reducing waste and environmental impact. Additionally, GenAI can break down data silos, enabling seamless collaboration across the supplier network.

Challenges around privacy concerns and balancing heritage with modernity

GenAI clearly offers luxury many powerful tools to gain a competitive advantage in an increasingly unpredictable and volatile market. However, it is just as crucial to acknowledge its limitations in an industry so deeply defined by exclusivity, creativity, craftsmanship and human connection while concerns about data security, privacy and ethics also remain significant challenges.
