1. Japanese jewellery market continues to rebound

Featured News

Japan’s luxury goods market, one of the largest in the world, is growing steadily again, after a long period of global and domestic crisis, and is expected to grow further over the next years thanks to rising consumer confidence and the purchasing power of the younger generations, creating prospects for an increase in spending for luxury goods. Moreover, purchases by inbound tourists have a substantial effect on sales in the luxury goods market, and as the number of tourists is expected to rise in 2018, a boost in the luxury market is expected too.

The world’s third-largest economy expanded at an annualized pace of 0.5% in the October-December quarter, but at a much slower pace than a revised 2.2% in the previous three months as the overall contribution to growth from trade weakened.
