Handbags Market Segment Insights:
The tote bags segment is projected to hold major market share
Based on product types, the handbags market can be segmented into tote bags, clutch, satchel, and others. The tote bag segment held the major market share in 2018 in terms of revenue due to rising popularity of tote bags and new designs and variety of choices available in the market. As compared to other handbags, tote bags are convenient, offer large storage space, and look fashionable too which shifted consumer preference. Due to the elimination of plastic bags, tote bags are commonly used for shopping purposes. These bags can carry large items like laptops, iPads, and files. Luxury brands and many other companies have started launching their tote bags based on new fashion trends, which is expected to drive the segment. Clutches are very small bags that offer small storage space and can only be used to keep phones, money, and some cosmetic items. However, with rising disposable income and brand consciousness, many consumers buy these bags as they add a fashion statement and are made in various innovative designs and colors.
The leather segment dominated the market
Based on raw materials, the market can be bifurcated into leather and fabric. The leather segment dominated the market due to rising demand for leather handbags. Leather is durable, dustproof, and crack proof which encourages people to buy leather hand bags. Also, marketing techniques and the integration of innovative products in the market are major drivers of this segment. High end, premium leather used by key players makes them more exotic and expensive which further fuel the market. However, due to rising awareness about vegan leather handbags is expected to affect the market dynamics.
The offline segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace
Based on distribution channels, the market can be divided into online and offline. The availability of exclusive retail stores derives the offline segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace. People prefer to shop handbags through offline mode due to the availability of exclusive discounts and customer service increased in the recent times. Additionally, the widespread awareness about brand thefts and duplication also resulted in the rising popularity of the offline segment. However, due to the spread of COVID 19, the online segment witnessed significant growth as people could purchase handbags from the official websites of the brands, to follow the safety protocols and to stay quarantined. The ease of payment and reasonable prices also encouraged people to buy handbags through e-commerce.
North America is anticipated to dominate the market
In terms of regions, the global handbags market can be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America constituted a significant share of the market in 2020 due to mergers and acquisitions conducted by key market players. Moreover, increasing marketing and social media influencing by key companies and growing fashion and brand awareness in the US are driving the market. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period due to the rising disposable income and standard of living of the people, especially in developing countries like India, China, and Japan.
