Luggage and Leather Goods: The EU market for handbags

This CBI market survey for handbags shows that sales have continued to grow strongly as fashion becomes a more important part of the purchasing decisions of EU consumers. The handbag market is quite resilient to the economic downturn and there will continue to be opportunities for DC exporters in this very large market segment. The key to success is to maintain a close interest in the changing styles and fashions of handbags.

This market survey covers the EU market and the markets in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and The Netherlands for handbags.

You can find information on:
• consumption, production and trade (market size and trends )
• trade channels for market entry, including websites of buyers
• pricing
• market access requirements
• business practices and sales promotion, including an overview of trade fairs

Special attention is paid to opportunities for exporters from developing countries.

It provides additional in-depth information, complementary to the more general information and data provided in other CBI surveys, which cover several product groups at the same time.
