COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously injured the consumer goods industry and has hampered the handbag market growth. According to Fortune Business Insights™, the global market slumped by a staggering 25.6% in 2020, with its size predicted to reach USD 49.63 billion in 2021. The main reasons for the market’s declining growth trajectory in the 2020-21 period include sharp demand contractions underpinned by falling incomes, increasing raw material prices, and reduced production.
