Global Handicrafts Market

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Handicrafts Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global handicrafts market size reached US$ 583.4 Billion in 2018. Handicrafts are handmade products that are intricately prepared using simple tools instead of machines. They are an artistic representation of a culture or tradition and require intense concentration during production. They are generally made using materials, such as wood, beads, textiles, sheet metal, river stone, natural fiber, wrought iron, horn and bone, and ceramics. As handicrafts require low capital investments, provide employment opportunities to artisans and act as a prominent means for foreign exchange revenue, they play a pivotal role in the overall growth of an economy. Besides this, they are also perceived as a status symbol for consumers, on account of their quality and uniqueness.

Global Handicrafts Market Trends:

One of the key factors bolstering the handicrafts market growth is the escalating demand for handmade décor items, especially in homes, offices, restaurants and other commercial places. In line with this, the burgeoning e-commerce sector, in confluence with the proliferation of various online retail channels, is also boosting the sales of handicrafts across the globe. Apart from this, the flourishing travel and tourism sector is offering opportunities to local artisans to prepare commoditized products and selling them to tourists who are willing to expend on souvenirs and other craft items. Furthermore, unlike machine-made products that involve the utilization of electricity and other fuels, handicrafts have low energy requirements, which is anticipated to contribute to the market growth in the coming years. On account of these factors, the market value is projected to reach US$ 1091.2 Billion by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of more than 11% during the forecast period (2019-2024).
