    The Asia-Pacific region continues to shape the future of the global luxury industry, with its fast-evolving consumer base, expanding wealth, and dynamic markets driving growth for leading international brands. From the established hubs of Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore to emerging destinations across Southeast Asia and India, Asia remains at the centre of innovation, creativity and opportunity for luxury players worldwide.

    In October 2026, Nikkei and the Financial Times returned for another landmark gathering of the region’s foremost business and creative leaders, at the Business of Luxury Summit – Asia Edition. Held over two days at the multi-award-winning Capella in Bangkok, the Summit once again brought together senior executives, investors, entrepreneurs and industry experts to explore the forces reshaping the sector, and discussed strategies for success in a competitive and complex market.
