The outlook is not totally optimistic for sales of bags and luggage in the five coming years, at least in volume terms. However, overall sales will be supported by the fact that the pandemic era has passed and, even in light of potential future waves of the virus, the French government does not wish to hamper the local economy and education with further lockdowns – so a good omen for most personal accessories, including bags and luggage.
Other than in the ultra-luxury segment, the bags and luggage category is expected to see a trend towards greater utility rather than an emphasis on status and prestige, in the short-term at least. Within this environment, local experts are rather confident in the potential of backpacks: (1) thanks to the probable absence of new lockdowns and restrictions in the short-term; and (2) the craze for new ways of traveling, being more outdoor-focused, authentic, and eco-responsible.
The era of the COVID-19 pandemic was clearly a nightmare period for store-based retail sales of personal accessories, including bags and luggage, due to the closure of specialised stores and department stores during 2020-2021, with a particular effect in Paris and on the French Riviera, which have borne the brunt of the dramatic decline in inbound tourism in 2020 and 2021. However, this period also provided an opportunity for online sales, via third party players such as Amazon, one of the great winners of this period.
