The market for handcrafted goods manufactured with traditional methods and materials is known as the global handicrafts market. As customers place a greater emphasis on eco-friendly products and craftsmanship than mass-produced goods, one major driver is the growing desire for distinctive, handmade, and culturally relevant goods. Craftspeople can reach a wider audience in international markets because of the increasing popularity of online platforms. In addition, buyers have become more inclined to look for handcrafted goods that reflect these ideals due to the growing emphasis on ethical production and environmental processes. The growing customer preference for sustainable, artisanal, and eco-friendly items is one of the main factors. The demand for handcrafted items manufactured from natural materials is rising as consumers' purchasing decisions are still influenced by environmental concerns. The traditional nature of handicrafts, which frequently employ locally available, renewable resources and have a lesser carbon impact than mass-produced goods, is in line with this trend. However, the price fluctuations of raw materials, like metal, glass, and wood, have a direct impact on the cost of making handcrafted goods.
