Swarovski’s turnaround is sparkling brighter than ever, clocking 6% year-on-year organic growth in 2025 as its bold “LUXignite” strategy ignited real dividends. The Austrian family gem generated €1.97 billion ($2.26 billion) in revenue, fueled by its global network of 2,300 boutiques.

CEO Alexis Nasard said, “Our consistent progress continued in 2025 despite a challenging environment, as we delivered broad-based topline growth, strengthened profitability, and improved cash generation, while reaching new heights of brand desirability and anchoring the Swarovski brand as a cultural icon in the pop luxury space. The execution of the LUXignite strategy is delivering as intended.”

Growth lit up everywhere: Growth was broad-based across all regions and channels, led by North America, which rose 10%. The company also saw strong performance in its directly operated channels, including branded boutiques and its e-commerce platform.

EBITDA climbed 12% on robust cash flows.
