The research study by Technavio on the global personalised gifts market for 2017-2021 states that “The global personalised gifts market size is expected to reach USD 31.63 billion by 2021”. The Americas are predicted to be the leading regional segment, generating both the highest revenue and maximum incremental growth through the forecast period, with other continents showing similar growth curve.
Following the trend, one of the biggest global online marketplace for gifts and promotional products Etsy reported that more people are searching their website for personalised gifts in 2019, compared to the same period last year — a 22% year-over-year increase!
What this means for manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of the garment, promotional and gifting industry?
- If you are selling gifts but do not sell personalised gifts then you are missing out on 43% of the market.
- If you are selling personalised gifts but not photo gifts then you are missing out on 32% of the personalised product market.
- If you are selling photos gifts but not apparels then you are missing out on 29% of the market.
That’s interesting, right? So why leg behind, when all that you need is just to upgrade your website to enable your customer to personalise the stuff you sell, and then a printing facility or a drop-ship vendor that can help you fulfil personalised orders.
