The luxury market alone is forecast to grow to more than $48 billion by 2025. Still, up to 80 percent of luxury purchases are made outside of Brazil due to import challenges, including high tariffs that nearly triple the cost of imported products relative to the United States and France. Zara has countered the challenge of high tariffs by moving roughly 40 percent of its production onshore, according to Financial Times. However, most retailers lack the scale to make this a viable option.",
