Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio?s team said: ?Product differentiation is a changing trend among consumers regarding luxury purchases in South Korea. The Korean culture is profoundly influenced by expensive western lifestyles and as a result, there has always been a strong tendency among consumers to lean toward western fashion trends. These fashion-conscious consumers used to buy well-known brands that displayed striking logos or labels to stand out from the crowd.?

According to the report, one of the main drivers of the handbags market in South Korea is the increase in economic development in the country, thereby increasing the disposable income as well as the purchasing power of consumers. This in turn is influencing the demand for expensive and premium handbag brands and per capita consumption by consumers.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges hindering the growth of the handbags market in South Korea is the increase in competition from counterfeit or fake brands present in the market. The country is the main hub for many fake brands. These cheap imitated products are sold at low prices in the market and are of poor quality, which in turn, affects the image of the genuine brands.
