Change in Demographics and Consumer Preferences along with Increasing Westernized Cultures and Entry of new Brands into the market has fuelled the market growth: Ken Research

May 2021  

Growth in tourism and travelling along with recovery of oil price, increase in number of shops opened across numerous shopping malls and changing demographics has boosted the demand for Handbags and other bags such as cross body, backpacks and wallets in the country.

Change in Demographics:  ~50.0% of the total population in 2020 under the age bracket 25-54 years supplemented by the high per capita income ($19,586 in 2020) represents a huge potential for bags and luggage market in Saudi Arabia.

Import Driven Market: Products are contract manufactured mainly in countries such as China, Vietnam, Brazil and Bangladesh and are directly imported into the Kingdom. 85%-90% of the products are usually imported.

Highly Fragmented Market: No single player in the luggage industry in KSA accounts for more than 5-10% of the revenue with almost all global brands having presence in KSA. Low brand loyalty, wide array of choices for customers and large number of SKUs give rise to high competition.

Highly Influenced by Seasonal Discounts: Most successful marketing strategies and campaigns in Saudi Arabia for bags and luggage are carried out during the festive season of Ramadan and Eid which presents many opportunities for a variety of marketing campaigns such as collaborating with destinations, hotels, and airlines for advertising promotions for special Eid offers or special discounts.

Impact of COVID19: The onset of global pandemic led to a significant spike in luggage in the early March since the expats started shifting back to their native places.  Customer footfall to shopping malls and retailing stores along with leisure and business travels decreased significantly as consumers had to stay at home. This had a particularly detrimental impact on bags as many of these sales are either dependent on tourist population or carried out on impulse.
