In Australia, the luxury market is maturing. With growth being driven by the wealthy Asian market, delivering luxury experiences is top of mind for brands. According to IBISWorld, this has pushed growth in luxury retailing to 11% a year over the past five years to reach $1.8 billion in 2016/17. This growth is forecast to continue at 8.2% a year to hit $2.7 billion in 2021/22. And the luxury advertising investment is following suit. In Australia, the premium ad market which includes everything from travel to automobiles is worth an estimated $750 million. According to Zenith’s Luxury Advertising Expenditure Forecasts, luxury advertising spend rose by 3.0% in 2016. This report also indicated that despite increasing digital investments, print remains the most important medium for ‘high luxury’ advertisers.
