Luxury retail and tourism play a pivotal role in strengthening economic ties between Australia and India. Australia’s $7.7 billion luxury market (2025) (IBISWorld) and India’s $17.67 billion luxury sector (2024) (Statista) are expanding, driven by rising UHNWIs, e-commerce adoption, and demand for exclusive, sustainable products.
Simultaneously, Indian tourism to Australia is set to quadruple from 300,000 (2017) to 1.2 million by 2035 (DFAT), with high-spending visitors fueling demand for premium retail, fine dining, and luxury hospitality.
This intersection presents immense cross-border opportunities—from brand collaborations to enhanced visa policies and trade relations—solidifying luxury retail and tourism as key pillars of Australia-India economic growth.
