Italy’s tanning industry association UNIC has said the luxury accessories sector has grown by about 70% in the last ten years.

At the start of the Lineapelle exhibition in Bologna on March 11, the organisation said there were 330 million luxury consumers in the world in 2013. Of these, 90 million were from the US, 80 million from Europe and 50 million from China.

However, according to UNIC, the greatest per capita spend on luxury goods last year was in the Middle East, China and Japan.
