44. 5. Growing Focus beyond Metro and
Tier 1 cities.
• Home to nearly half of the country’s ultra HNHs,
India’s non-metro regions offer lucrative growth
opportunities for luxury segment players.
45. …contd
• Players are overcoming the challenge of
Infrastructure through innovative models and
local tie-ups in order to optimise investments and
minimise risks.
• Around 70 per cent of luxury handbag player
Judith Leiber‘s customers now come from tier-II
and tier-III cities without depending on
storebased expansion.

potential consumers through exhibitions
47. 7. Government regulations
• The Indian Government has allowed 100% foreign
direct investment in single-brand retailing and 51% in
multi-brand retailing, which is likely to see more
foreign luxury brands enter the country, with new
players opening up their first outlets in major cities
such as Mumbai or New Delhi.
50. 1. Idiosyncratic Market
• India is truly an idiosyncratic market for a vast
array of social, economical, cultural, and
political reasons. Even such global giants as
Coca-Cola and GM did not meet with success
when they entered this market, due largely to
a lack of understanding about Indian
emotions, habits, and lifestyles.
51. 2.Luxury infrastructure still a
constraint
• The luxury goods category is still fragmented and
only a few international players have entered
India. However, these luxury players are already
facing problems in terms of a lack of luxury
infrastructure in India, as luxury shopping centres
are restricted to major cities and only a small
number of players have entered the country. As
more luxury players enter India, limited
infrastructure could be a major constraint. The
luxury players that are present are already
targeting high-end shopping streets in major
cities to overcome a lack of luxury shopping
centres.
52. 3. Luxury goods restricted to major
cities of India
• Most of the larger brands are present in metro
cities.
• But there is huge opportunity avaialable in tier
2 and tier 3 city market, where brands can
extend their market and manage their
portfolio accoriding to spending limit and
consumer tastes.
53. 4. Cost-conscious mindset of buyer
• Closet consumers-People who look at the cost
and value even when shopping for luxury
products.
• The inner conflict between a middle class
mindset and the globally rich income level,
between conspicuous consumption and a
level of luxury which is a reward for hard work
shapes what we call the closet consumer,"
54. Internet retailing emerges as a sales
channel
• Global luxury brand operators are targeting
internet retailing as a future emerging channel for
their brands. Rising rentals and operating costs
are major factors, while the need for well-trained
staff to cater to high net worth individuals is
another factor that makes internet retailing more
attractive for players. Luxury goods players can
also offer discounts and promotional campaigns
limited to internet retailing channels to promote
purchases.
55. Sahara entering into Luxury market.
• Sahara Group, the embattled Lucknow-based
conglomerate, plans to launch an Indian luxury
chain to sell 'Made
• in India' luxury goods in international markets
such as the US and the UK. “The focus is to create
the first Indian premium
• luxury brand, which will expose the global
consumer to India as never seen before,” said
Chandni Roy, who is
• spearheading the initiative to open luxury
lifestyle stores across the globe (Rathore, 2013).
56. Conclusion
• India is one of the growing market for Luxury
retail in India that recently accounts for only
1-2 % of total luxury retail market of world.
• It is a big opportunity for brands to target this
untapped market with supportive changing
taste for Luxury brand as well as rising income.
