Business of Luxury
Summit – Asia Edition
20-21 October 2025
Convening Asia's luxury industry leaders
In-Person & Digital | Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong | #FTLuxury
The Asia-Pacific market remains a powerhouse of growth for European luxury brands, with over a third of their revenues generated from the region. Despite economic headwinds, Hong Kong stands tall as a luxury hub, boasting the world’s highest concentration of high-net-worth individuals. Japan remains a bright spot for top-ending spending while rapid economic expansion in regions such as India and Thailand have made them crucial markets for global brands.
In October 2025, Nikkei and the Financial Times will celebrate a successful ten-year partnership by hosting the Asian edition of the Business of Luxury Summit in Hong Kong. This landmark event offers a unique platform for Asian luxury leaders to engage with investors, brand executives, entrepreneurs and industry professionals, to explore future trends and learn how to create further growth opportunities across the region.
The Summit will feature a full-day conference preceded by an elegant welcome reception and gala dinner - an unmissable celebration of luxury in the heart of Asia.
