MARKET SUMMARY

1.1 Presentation and definition of the luggage market

The luggage market includes all travel items and accessories. A number of criteria can be used to segment the market into several categories, among the most used:

- By size

- By price

- By type

The luggage market is a sub-segment of the leather goods and travel goods sectors. 

The global market is growing, largely driven by Asian markets. The world market, as in France, is concentrated around a few major players, specialists in luggage manufacturing or leaders in the luxury market. 

The French market is growing slightly and has a relatively dynamic foreign trade. With the arrival on the market of Asian products, at very competitive prices, major French luggage companies are now focusing on the high-end segment. Moreover, French consumers are also increasingly looking at the manufacturing conditions ("made in France") even if the price, for the low and mid-range segments, remains a major factor.

Exports represent a very important part of these companies' turnover, particularly for certain historical French luxury players who benefit from a very powerful brand image abroad, such as Louis Vuitton.

The luggage market is also based on the growing number of French travellers and solid distribution in specialised stores, even if the share of e-commerce is growing.
