Handbag, Luggage & Accessory Stores in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

In the Bag: Economic Recovery Following the Pandemic Will Likely Result in Industry Growth

Over the past five years, the Handbag, Luggage and Accessory Stores industry expanded alongside a robust pandemic recovery, boosting travel and demand for luggage. Intensifying competition from e-tailers and mass merchandisers challenged small-scale stores and retailers with a heavy focus on brick-and-mortar. Still, the proliferation of e-commerce has supported stores with an established online presence as consumers have increasingly shifted their spending online. Over the past five years, revenue has expanded at a CAGR of 2.6%, reaching an estimated $2.7 billion in 2023. A persistent rise in e-commerce and high-income households will boost revenue by an estimated 2.9% in 2023 alone.

This industry includes specialty retailers that predominantly sell handbags, luggage, briefcases and clothing accessories, such as hats, wallets and neckwear. While some businesses may also sell apparel or footwear, such sales are not included in this industry.
