2023: Sales of bags and suitcases in Russia for the year increased by 18%, to 278.5 million units
In 2023, about 278.5 million bags and suitcases were sold in Russia against 235.7 million a year earlier. Thus, growth was recorded at the level of 18%. This is stated in the BusinesStat study, the results of which were published at the end of September 2024.
The review takes into account products such as traditional suitcases, travel chests, bags and suitcases for cosmetics or personal care kits, business paper cases, briefcases, cases, travel bags, backpacks, sports bags, thermos bags as well as shopping bags.
In 2019, sales of these products in the Russian Federation were estimated at 170.9 million units. In 2020, a drop of 9.5% followed - to 154.7 million units. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, due to which the number of people's trips has sharply decreased, and therefore the need for bags and suitcases for transporting things has also decreased. But already in 2021 there was a sharp increase: sales jumped by 33.7% - to 206.8 million units. In 2022, an increase of another 14% was noted.
The authors of the study name several factors that provide significant positive dynamics. In particular, against the background of easing quarantine restrictions, the number of tourist trips began to increase: this stimulated the demand for suitcases and travel bags, as well as beach bags and small belt and cross-body bags that are convenient to carry when traveling.
In addition, as noted in the report, against the background of the formed geopolitical situation, there is a significant migration outflow of citizens. According to data, in Rosstat 2022, about 668.4 thousand Russians left the country, which exceeded the value of the previous year by 2.8 times. In this regard, the demand for backpacks, spacious sports bags and suitcases remained increased. At the same time, after the start of the special operation, sales of tactical and tourist backpacks increased significantly.[1]
