Optimism in the European luxury sector is increasing, with more and more analysts believing that the rally that started in the second half of 2025 could continue into 2026. The recovery is indicated by strong quarterly reporting from luxury goods manufacturers, a rebound in demand in China and the renewal of creative teams at fashion houses. Key market players, including LVMH and Richemont, are already showing signs of a turnaround after two years of decline.
