Who should Singapore's luxury brands be targeting in 2019 and beyond?

If there is one name that luxury brands in Singapore (and Asia) need to pay attention to this year, it’s the name “HENRY”. No, HENRY isn’t the name of an insanely wealthy and big-spending individual, nor are we referring to Henry Golding, the lead actor from the movie Crazy Rich Asians. Rather, it describes a demographic which stands to be the most important consumer group for luxury product, lifestyle and services brands. In Singapore, HENRYs are defined as households or families that are “High Earners, Not Rich Yet”, earning between $150,000 and $300,000 per year – the segment of consumers that have significant discretionary income and a strong chance of being “ultra-affluent” in the near future.
