HOW BIG IS THE LUXURY MARKET?
BIG...AND GETTING BIGGER. The affluent, mass-affluent and affordable luxury categories are the fastest growing segments in retail and services. In 2019, research firm Phoenix MI reported that a record 6.71% (or 8,386,508 out of 125,018,808 total U.S. households) can now claim millionaire status. That's up from 6.21% in 2018 and just 5.81% in 2017. Sophisticated Living reaches the households with the spending habits to grow our advertisers’ business. SLMAG.NET
