Models
If the tote bag is the most widespread (36%), the shoulder bag will have the greatest growth between 2021 and 2028. Regarding the material, luxury leather bags represented 47% of the market in 2020. This segment is destined to grow significantly, thanks to the growing number of brands and the improvement of lifestyle. The report highlights a critical factor: increasing demand and the consequent rise in the price of finished products could lead to less availability of leather bags for high-end consumers. The player companies in the sector are focusing mainly on the innovation of new products to meet the growing demand. Furthermore, they are making substantial investments to stimulate the attention of the younger segment of the population.
