The Problem
Where there is a problem there is an opportunity, and the luxury furniture market is certainly one that qualifies for a big opportunity.
Demand for luxury furniture is increasing as disposable income is rising. Another factor contributing to the increased demand for luxury furniture is the desire to own exclusive furniture as a symbol of status and success.
The global luxury furniture market is expected to rise from $23mn in 2017 to reach $29.5mn by 2022. Expanding at a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% between 2017 and 2022, according to TMR. This study also revealed based on geography, that it is Europe, which will emerge as the most lucrative market for luxury furniture.
Alter London is facing large potential growth opportunities. With fewer customers shopping in-store, Alter London needed an online presence. An e-commerce website would allow them to showcase their designs internationality and have a truly global presence beyond their products showcased in London. They also needed a place to promote their current offers easily. A webshop was inevitable to take Alter London to the next level.
