&#8216;to take over half luxury goods market\u2019"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Asia will rebound to account for more than half of the luxury goods market within a decade, driven by rapid growth in household incomes, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.<\/p>\n<p>The continent, which currently accounts for around two-thirds of the market, has seen a slowdown in its luxury goods sales in recent years, which has \u201calarmed\u201d the high-end brand houses.<\/p>\n<p>But a new report from the EIU, Rich Pickings, said there are \u201cstrong prospects for a long-term recovery\u201d <strong>in Asia and predicts it will account for 50%-60% of luxury revenue within 10 years.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>While China is expected to be the main driver, with nearly 13m households on an average income of $150,000 (\u00a396,720) or more by 2030, India will also be key, with more than 30m households on annual incomes exceeding $50,000. <\/p>\n<p>The report forecasts that India will become a \u201ckey battleground for luxury brands as the retail market opens up to foreign investment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A wealthy elite has also emerged in Indonesia on the back of the global commodities boom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile, Malaysia and Thailand are becoming shopping destinations,<\/strong> the EIU said, with the former benefiting from low import duties on luxury goods. <\/p>\n<p>Savvy shoppers will also dent growth, as Asian consumers start to buy more luxury goods abroad. <\/p>\n<p><em><a
