COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Luxury players maintain entrenched market positions
The bags and luggage competitive landscape remained concentrated in 2025, with Chalhoub Group holding a significant share of 31%, followed by Chanel Ltd FZE with 7%. The top players, all luxury names, maintained their entrenched market positions with no major changes to ranking.
Chinese players enter local market amid supply chain shifts
Restrictions placed on China led many Chinese bags and luggage players to enter the United Arab Emirates in 2025, typically priced at the lower end. This development intensified competition in the mass segment, although it did not disrupt the dominance of established luxury players at the top end.
