In 2016, exports in handmade goods from India alone were worth $5.4 billion, a 15% rise compared to 2007. In the same period, China and Southeast Asia combined generated more than $25 billion.
Currently, the total size of the US crafts industry is worth $43.9 billion, as revealed by researchers from the Association for Creative Industries (AFCI). Due to this rising demand, the industry envisages that by 2020, the global handmade market will generate up to $150 billion.
Issues For Crafters And BuyersFor crafters, the issues include lack of international marketing knowledge and lack of buyer confidence, as crafters usually are not identified. There is also the fear of dishonest buyers. Other problems include lack of direct communication with potential buyers, the inability to present their products in fair competition, difficulty in directing traffic to their product listings, and barriers to proper representation of themselves and their products.
On the part of buyers, there is difficulty in verifying whether a crafter is genuine. At the same time, most buyers cannot verify whether the item is truly the handmade work of the crafter. Lack of reliable reviews and difficulty in verifying whether a crafter is simply out to exploit the marketplace, are some of the issues to address.
