Deep dives

Luxury companies and scarcity mindset

Luxury companies, particularly privately owned ones, create value through a mindset that emphasizes scarcity. They resist overproduction and focus on creating an image of exclusivity and positional signaling. This scarcity mentality, ingrained in French culture, has been a key factor in the success of luxury brands. It taps into the human desire for costly signaling, where individuals demonstrate their wealth and status through the acquisition of rare and expensive goods. This approach allows luxury companies to cater to the niche market of wealthy individuals who seek these exclusivity and signaling opportunities.
