The demand for handicraft products has increased tremendously in recent years as many countries are increasing their focus on improving the performance of their tourism sector. The number of tourists visiting different countries across the world has increased considerably in recent years, especially after the travel restrictions were lifted post the COVID-19 pandemic. Since tourists are seeking some unique souvenirs to make their trips memorable, most of them buy handmade products, such as textiles, jewelry, pottery products, wooden & paper products, and many other items. These factors will help the handicraft market share grow.

Restrictions and Lockdowns During COVID-19 Pandemic Hampered Demand for Handicrafts

The COVID-19 outbreak posed a major threat to the growth of this market as the demand for handmade products dropped drastically during this period. This was due to a major decline in tourism activities as governments across the world had imposed several movement & travel restrictions and lockdowns to prevent the spread of the virus. The shortage of the required raw materials due to these restrictions also hampered the production capacity of manufacturers, which consequently decreased their supply. This factor decelerated the market growth.

Eco-friendly handmade products are usually made from recycled or renewable raw materials, which can help customers decrease their negative impact on the environment. These aspects will drive the growth of the market in the coming years.
