Earlier Report Observations

The market for travel goods and handbags in Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced substantial growth from 2021 to 2024, with the market size increasing by 84% to reach 32.9 million USD. This expansion was primarily driven by a sharp rise in imports, which more than doubled over the same period, while domestic production showed volatility and exports gradually declined.

Imports had been on a consistent upward trajectory since 2018, accelerating after 2021 and becoming the main contributor to market growth. Domestic production, though modest, peaked in 2023 at 4.4 million USD before contracting the following year, reflecting the market's reliance on foreign supply.
