In more detail: table art will grow by 2%, hard luxury (jewellery, watches, pens and lighters) 3%, leather, footwear and accessories 4%, and fragrances and cosmetics 4%.

In terms of markets, analysts forecast a 4% growth for Europe and 3% for North America. There will be a significant slow-down in Latin America (+1%), while Japan will grow 5%, Asia 2%, the Middle East 3%, and the rest of the world 3%.

According to Armando Branchini, Vice-President of the Altagamma Foundation "Organic growth will still be modest in 2016. There will still be a strong currency exchange impact. This will affect company pricing policies and the geographical flows of those consumers who are chiefly looking for low prices". All in all, Branchini has concluded, "growth will be more limited, modest but solid".
