Global Luggage Market Report: Sep 2009 Edition -- A New Report by Koncept Analytics

Oct. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Economic recession, rising gas prices and lower spending power led to a steep decline in US luggage sales in 2008. Declining sales resulted in lower margins for luggage retailers and manufacturers.

EU’s position is diminishing in global production but absolute production values and volumes have still increased. EU producers are heavily reliant on exports to emerging markets such as China, India, Russia and Brazil.

China’s luggage industry is benefiting from good margins and holds tremendous potential for market players. Existing luggage manufacturers are expanding their capacity. However, the market is highly fragmented and most of the manufacturers are not branded players.

New products are being designed to meet changing trends in luggage. Design modifications and innovative materials have helped in production of lighter products. Manufacturers are coming up with new styles, materials and colors.
