Research and Markets: UK Hand Luggage & Leather Goods Market Report 2015

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2kfkt6/hand_luggage_and) has announced the addition of the "Hand Luggage & Leather Goods Market Report 2015" report to their offering.

This report examines the UK market for hand luggage and leather goods, focusing on the leading industry competitors, the trends and issues impacting the market and its supply chain, and the value of the market over the 5 years between 2009 and 2013; it also provides forecasts for the future of the market up until 2018. Despite having fluctuated somewhat in the aftermath of the economic recession, the UK market for hand luggage and leather goods increased in value by 8.1% between 2012 and 2013.

The market can be best approached in terms of the four key sectors of handbags, hand luggage, small leather goods and business cases. As handbags are one of the main accessories of choice within the fashion industry it is unsurprising that this is the largest sector, owing to ongoing demand from fashion-conscious consumers and a general need to replace older items alike. Male fashion is also becoming more metrosexual and androgynous and this has led to a popularisation of the man bag' or murse', with both high-end designers and high-street retailers launching male fashion handbags which follow the seasons' trends.

Economic growth is permitting more UK residents to travel and holiday abroad once more, thus restoring demand for suitcases and luggage items. Meanwhile, the constantly changing policies and restrictions of airlines on hold and cabin luggage allowances is forcing consumers to purchase new luggage more often so as to adhere to these changes, and luggage companies are capitalising on this by investing in new product development (NPD) within the lightweight and compressive luggage segment.
