Luxury is Global, Research Isn't: Mapping the Gaps in International Luxury Marketing

International luxury marketing is a growing but fragmented field, dominated by U.S. and U.K. authors, with limited collaboration and a recent surge in publications. Research focuses on consumer behavior, tools, and core themes, but lacks attention to emerging trends like sustainability and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Explain Like I'm Five

Scientists looked at how companies sell very expensive, fancy things all over the world. They found many studies, mostly from America and the UK, about why people buy them, but not much about selling things that are good for the Earth or how the big sickness affected sales.

Possible Conflicts of Interest

None identified

Identified Limitations

Static Bibliometric Analysis
The static approach introduces bias toward older publications, potentially overlooking more recent and relevant research.
Limited Coverage and Potential Omissions
The study acknowledges potential omissions of relevant work due to limitations in keyword coverage, database limitations, and exclusion of non-English publications.
Time Bias in Citation Metrics
Citation-based metrics are susceptible to time bias, as older papers have had more time to accumulate citations.
Narrow Focus on International Luxury Marketing
Focusing solely on international luxury marketing might exclude valuable insights from broader luxury research and limit the generalizability of findings.
