COVID-19 impact on personal accessories

In 2020, due to the impact of lockdowns, retail closures and travel restrictions implemented to slow the COVID-19 outbreak, personal accessories will see declining value sales in all the main categories at constant 2020 prices. As the crisis took hold in the UK, consumers were seeing their disposable income impacted and were shifting their shopping priorities to focus on more essential items.

COVID-19 country impact

On 16 March, large gatherings in the UK were banned, people were required to cease all unnecessary travel and to work from home where possible. On 17 March, travel restrictions were introduced, with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office advising UK nationals against all but essential international travel.

Company response

With foreign expenditure representing 25% of luxury goods sales in 2019, travel restrictions due to COVID-19 have taken their toll on the luxury segment in the short term. Moreover, most luxury purchases remain store-based and store closures have therefore had a more pronounced effect on personal accessories from the luxury end of the market than from those bought from brands and retailers on the high street, many of which have ecommerce platforms.

Retailing shift

The former high-street giants continue to lose share in the UK as emerging consumer behaviour transforms the retail environment. E-commerce has been growing at the expense of more traditional distribution channels, even for bags and luggage and fine jewellery, which are generally still purchased in traditional bricks-and-mortar specialist stores and department stores.

What next for personal accessories?

The COVID-19 outbreak has been resulting in pronounced declines in jewellery and watches in 2020, although both categories will recover from 2021, with stronger growth expected in the luxury end. Jewellery continues to be dominated by fine jewellery, although the demi-fine segment will continue to gain momentum as more consumers seeking premiumisation choose to invest in higher-quality, accessibly-priced items.
