Many reasons lead us to believe that Taiwan is the right market to study; reflecting Asian sought markets.
To study current consuming trends, making an overlook of the Taiwanese market by identifying potential group of consumers, those who will have purchasing power in the Taiwanese, luxury market-consumer’s behavior may be determined allowing a better understanding of the market and its possible evolution.
