Industry Prospects

Handbags remains a key product type for Swedes, especially females, in terms of indulgence spending, which is good news for the category as a whole. First and foremost, this is set to remain the case over the forecast period. As the Swedish economy and consumer mood are expected to continue to improve, there is likely to be more room for such indulgence spending in household budgets. Indulgence spending also favours more expensive brands over mere utility shopping, and consumers might combine months of saving-up for a special occasion with indulgence spending.
