MEA Handbags Market Analysis
The Middle East and Africa handbags market is projected to register a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.
The sales of handbags in the Middle East and Africa region is witnessing the highest in the past decade owing to the changing fashion trend and increasing working population in the region. The rise in disposable income is an added advantage for consumers to spend more on handbags. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in diminished consumer spending on fashion goods such as handbags and hence constrained the manufacturers to increase the price of the product to compensate for their revenue loss during this period.
Over the medium term, the market is expected to grow due to the rising popularity of handbags, particularly tote bags, satchels, and clutches among women consumers. In addition, affluent buyers increasingly prefer luxury products due to their purchasing power. This has led to the penetration of international brands in the region through the expansion of offline stores, such as luxury department stores and boutiques, across key countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE. For instance, in 2021, the luxury brand Dellaluna Venetian Maroquinerie debuted its presence in the United Arab Emirates by launching its exquisite handbag collection at Tryano Abu Dhabi.

Strategic Developments by Major players
Modern consumers prefer different styles of handbags and therefore companies are innovating and expanding their product line to cater to the interests of the consumers. For example, Chanel Inc., a luxury fashion brand has introduced the gold-metal and calfskin bags in the market. The other strategies include mergers and acquisitions by which companies are entering into various collaborations to expand their product portfolio and promote their products across different geographical markets. For instance, Tyler Ellis, the U.S.-based luxury handbag brand, has teamed up with bespoke Emirati Couturier Hamda Al-Fahim in the United Arab Emirates to introduce a limited edition of Perry and Lily Clutches, Lee Pouchet, and Meme Pouch. Further, shopping malls are the most preferred retail channels for buying luxury goods such as handbags as these stores showcase multiple regional and global brands of fashion accessories. Thus, manufacturers are widening their presence in shopping malls to cater to the high consumer interest in luxury handbags. For instance, in April 2021, Da Milano, a luxe leather accessories brand that offers high-quality handbags opened its new store in Dubai Mall as it is a prestigious landmark in the world, allowing the brand to broaden its spectrum and gain visibility from potential buyers.
