Global Handicraft Market is valued at approximately USD 915.93 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 10.08% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Handicraft includes a wide range of handmade or handcrafted objects or products created by skilled artisans or craftspersons. These items primarily encompass textiles, pottery, glassware, paper goods, wooden creations, metal and silver pieces, and a myriad of other crafts. The rising trend of travel, enabling consumers to experience diverse cultures and their indigenous handicrafts, is anticipated to fuel the Handicraft Market. Additionally, the surge in construction activities, both commercial and residential, is encouraging the trend of embellishing homes with distinctive and artistic handicrafts.
In addition, rising disposable incomes and a growing middle class, along with the growing demand for sustainable and ethical products are playing a vital role in the market demand across the globe.
Also, the availability of handicrafts has become increasingly convenient for consumers due to the trend of online retail and the proliferation of various online platforms, which has significantly amplified the global sales of handicraft products. With the rise of e-commerce, access to a global audience has been democratized. Specialized platforms for handmade and vintage items provide a centralized marketplace where artisans can exhibit their creations to a worldwide customer base. These platforms often manage various aspects of the transaction process, including secure payment gateways and, in some cases, shipping logistics, allowing artisans to concentrate on their craft. According to Statista, in 2015 the global retail e-commerce sales were USD 1,548 billion and the number is anticipated to reach USD 8,148 billion by 2026. Moreover, the user-friendly and secure nature of these digital platforms encourages more artisans to transition their businesses online. In addition to this, e-commerce offers valuable tools for detailed analytics, offering artisans valuable insights into customer behavior and emerging market trends. When combined, these factors underscore the profound impact of e-commerce platforms on the expansion of the handicrafts market. Furthermore, the rising interest in handmade and DIY, as well as the augmenting trend of tourism activities present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the fluctuations in the raw material prices and the competition from mass-produced goods are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
