How global consumers shop for luxury goods during the pandemic has shaped a new landscape for high-end brands. A sharp increase in the share of online sales; more attention given to environmental footprint; growing acceptance of resale markets; and the popularity of TikTok, the metaverse and immersive technologies (3D, AR & VR) have become the focus of luxury marketing strategies.
