A belt is a movable and flexible band or strap often made of plastic, leather, or thick fabric and worn around or close to the natural waist. A buckle secures one end of a belt to another section of the belt at or around the other end, forming the belt into a loop. Since there are many different sizes of waists, there are many different lengths of belts available. Most belts can be changed around the buckle to fit the waist of the individual wearing it.

A wallet is a flat bag or pouch frequently used to hold small personal goods like paper money, credit cards, identification cards like a driver's license or club card, photos, transit passes, business cards, etc. Wallets are often made of textiles or leather, are pocket-sized, and may be folded. Coin purses, a zipper, chain fasteners, money clips, a strap, or rein can all be found in wallets. Wallets can be a fashionable accessory or a way for their owner to show off their status, wealth, or fashion sense.

The market is primarily driven by the expanding fashion trend and the expanding use of wallets and belts among corporate populations worldwide. The significance of belts and wallets as fashion items has increased, especially among millennials. Additionally, it is anticipated that the youthful generation's growing demand for belts and wallets made out of leather would offer a plethora of potential for market expansion throughout the projection period.

The rise in demand for leather products like wallets and belts may present companies in the sustainable field with lucrative business opportunities. Leather wallets and pouches are frequently utilized for daily tasks due to the customer's need for incredibly strong and stylish leather items. In addition, leather is smooth and durable even when folded. This makes it more comfortable to carry in the pocket than materials like plastic or nylon, which can be uncomfortable due to their hardness.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to social isolation and laws requiring people to stay at home, the pandemic also negatively impacted the offline sales of wallets and belts in various affected countries, including China and India. Furthermore, the pandemic's persistence inspired people to practice better financial management and refrain from splurging. As a result, people became more reluctant to purchase goods because of the outbreak, even after the lockdown was lifted due to the danger of virus transmission. Therefore, the pandemic had a negative impact on the belts and wallets market.

Market Growth Factors

Demand for leather accessories is rising among consumers

Fashion items like belts and wallets typically have both functional and aesthetic value. Also, leather fashion accessories typically have a longer lifespan than clothing as well as non-leather fashion accessories, especially in the case of product categories like exclusive goods that have been more popular in recent years. Therefore, carrying items like wallets, belts, and other accessories are growing areas of the leather fashion accessory product categories. The growing fashion industry has greatly increased consumer demand for leather wallets, driving up the market.

Development of inexpensive, fashionable, and cozy leather items

Wallets and belts are one of the most popular category for purchases in the accessories category. Additionally, as the fashion trends change, people purchase more often due to the inexpensive nature of these products. Lifestyles constantly change, consumers' discretionary income increases, and their interest in fashionable things grow. With their extra money, consumers are raising their level of living by acquiring more stylish and current items. Therefore, these kinds of customer preferences, along with the shifting fashion trends, will present market players with prominent growth opportunities during the forecast period.

Market Restraining Factors

Readily available cheap and counterfeit leather products

One of the things impeding the expansion of the market is the potential for counterfeit goods. When compared to genuine branded products, counterfeit goods are less reliable and of lesser quality. They are also priced lower to obtain a competitive edge on the market. As a result, achieving optimal market penetration is challenging for important market players. Additionally, the availability of fake goods dilutes the value of authentic brands since buyers cannot tell the difference between fake and genuine goods. Therefore, the abundance of counterfeit and cheap products are hampering the growth of the belts and wallets market.
