The global leather goods market size is anticipated to reach USD 405.28 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising fashion consciousness among consumers has been a key factor boosting the product demand and this has driven various brands to expand their product portfolio. Apart from leading labels and brands, smaller manufacturers have also been gaining importance in the market. Various startups have come up with customized leather products to meet the changing demands of consumers.
For instance, 1 Atelier, a U.S.-based start-up formed in 2015, allows customers to customize the color and hardware of their leather handbags. Strong brand recognition, along with an increasing number of companies entering the market, is driving the sales of leather goods in the market. E-commerce retail channels play a significant role in the distribution of leather goods as a considerable amount of market revenue is generated through these channels. Online sales channels make it easy for consumers to browse through millions of products in one place without having to physically visit retail stores. Millennials have been one of the prominent consumer segments driving the growth of online distribution channels.
According to the Global Online Survey data, the propensity of millennials to purchase leather goods through online platforms was almost twice that of Generation X in 2018. The increasing working population and the rising disposable income also drive market growth. Several companies enforce a corporate dress code, which supports the demand for leather shoes. The rising awareness regarding sustainable products offers a huge growth opportunity for products made from cruelty-free sources. Many celebrities have been opting for vegan fashion products, which influences consumers to conscientiously choose cruelty-free apparel.
