Under the Surface: A New Layer of Japan's Ultra-HNW Consumer

Join us for the Brands Forum Committee Event!

We think we know this consumer. Sophisticated, discerning, loyal. But underneath the familiar behaviour, a new layer is emerging, and the brands that see it will be the ones that pull ahead.

Japan’s ultra-HNW consumer is undergoing a fundamental shift. As luxury becomes increasingly democratised, exclusivity alone no longer guarantees desirability, pushing brands to confront a growing authenticity challenge. Behind traditional assumptions, purchasing decisions are becoming more personal, emotional, and nuanced, shaped as much by private aspirations as by public status. A new profile is emerging: the connoisseur consumer, seeking rarity, meaning, discretion
