Excess baggage: Import competition will push firms to focus on high-end products

Leather Good & Luggage Manufacturing in the US

In need of a makeover

A rebounding domestic economy will mean a return to steady downstream demand for discretionary goods, such as handbags and belts. However, reduced trade barriers will increase the level of competing imports, impacting domestic manufacturers. Companies will continue to exit the industry, but those that remain will shift their focus to designing and marketing activities as well as on producing high-end designs that carry a higher price tag in niche markets.

Operators in this industry primarily manufacture clothing accessories, including belts, hats, luggage, handbags, wallets and various other leather goods.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the

industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
