Handicrafts Market Growth & Trends


The global handicrafts market size is expected to reach USD 983.12 Billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2030. The surging consumer appetite for one-of-a-kind handmade goods, the proliferation of e-commerce platforms, a heightened focus on sustainability, the implementation of encouraging government initiatives and policies, and a rise in cultural events and festivals are among the key factors driving the market growth.

The growing consumer desire for distinctive, handcrafted goods stands out as a significant driver of market growth. Artisans utilize their refined expertise and cultural expertise to meticulously create each piece. This imparts a level of individuality and customization to handicrafts that automated machinery can hardly emulate. This is expected to accelerate market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, the attraction of handmade items transcends mere aesthetics; it resides in the narrative, the artisanal legacy, and the artistic creativity woven into each piece. In addition, consumers are increasingly in search of products that offer not only practical utility but also emotional or cultural significance. Consequently, this quest for unique products forms a robust impetus propelling the booming market over the last few years.

Glassware is growing at the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. The shifting consumer buying patterns are primarily influenced by rising urbanization. The arrival of people from other nations, contributing to the region's expanding population, has elevated the demand for glassware as consumers make more choices based on personal preference. Furthermore, increased investments in the hospitality and catering sectors are playing a significant role in propelling market growth.

Sales through online distribution channel is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period. The rise of e-commerce platforms constitutes another factor contributing to growth. This development has democratized the reach to global audiences. Specialized platforms dedicated to handmade and vintage items provide a centralized marketplace for artisans to present their creations to consumers worldwide. These platforms oversee various aspects of the transaction process, including payment gateways and sometimes even shipping, which allows artisans to concentrate on their craft. These factors contribute significantly to the expansion of the market.

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing region in market growth over the forecast period, owing to the demand for handicraft products like apparel & accessories, woodwork, glassware, potteryware, art metalware, kitchen & tableware, sculpture, fragrance & incense sticks, and similar items is on the rise among the population in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Social media channels have aided Indian handcraft in ways that before were not conceivable. Compared to earlier times, people are now more aware of handcrafted goods. This has increased awareness of the Indian handicraft business on a global scale.

Manufacturers have been adopting strategies such as new product launches, partnerships, and mergers to gain significant market share and reach new audiences. For instance, in January 2023, Target, a prominent U.S.-based retail giant, unveiled a collection of home accessories comprising tables, rugs, and various other items as part of its designer partnerships. These collaborations include Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, Opalhouse designed with Jungalow, and Threshold with Studio McGee.
