The luggage and leather goods market in the EU

As the economic recovery is still fragile, opportunities are still hard to find but they still exist. For instance, the demand for environmentally-friendly luggage and leather goods continues to grow and this market segment is less affected by the economic downturn. In addition, as the EU industry looks for ways to cut its costs, there will be opportunities created by forming working partnerships. The best form of partnership is likely to be with an EU company with a similar outlook to yourself, and one that operates in a niche market.

This CBI survey provides information on the EU luggage and accessories markets (market sizes and trends), production, trade channels for market entry, pricing, market access requirements and business practices & sales promotion. More detailed information – including websites of buyers and trade fairs – can be found in the related surveys on individual EU Member States.
