Bags and luggage in the UK is expected to record low but steady retail volume growth over the forecast period, although value sales (at constant 2024 prices) are predicted to weaken from 2027. However, luxury handbags and luggage are expected to continue to perform strongly.
While key types of bags and luggage are expected to prosper across the forecast period, the overall category will continue to face macroeconomic pressures that inhibit stronger growth prospects. The rising costs of raw materials, especially leather, are expected to persist, along with growing pressures on visibility across supply chains, requiring some adjustments that may carry additional costs to brands for production to align with regulations and remain competitively positioned in a changing market.
Over the forecast period, distribution channels for bags and luggage are expected to continue diversifying with a greater focus on specialist retailers and digital-first or omnichannel selling strategies. The increasing consumer-driven demand for convenience will likely continue to shape the path to purchase, both online and through traditional bricks-and-mortar channels.
