Personalized Gifts Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Clothing, Mug, Jewelry, Photo Frames & Prints, and Others), By Distribution Channel (Online and Offline) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The personalized gifts market has witnessed robust growth, driven by the increasing demand for unique and customized products that offer a personal touch. Personalized Gifts are customized gifts in the form of mugs, photo frames, and cushions imprinted with a picture, name, or message, made exclusively for an individual. The rapidly evolving gift-giving and celebration trends favor market expansion. Personalization allows individuals to transform conventional or ordinary gifts into more creative and unique gifts by adding colors, illustrations, and unique expressions. As a result, personalized gifts are becoming a preferred choice among an expanding number of individuals worldwide. They are also ideal for weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. A wide variety of personalized blankets, accessories, and prints on offline and online distribution channels further accelerates the market growth.

Recent years have witnessed increasing product launches, likely to fuel product sales in the coming years. For instance, in January 2022, NAYAB, an Indian online jewelry brand, launched its new collection for Valentine’s Day, including personalized gift items and premium jewelry. In addition, an increasing number of brands offering personalized gifts, such as Ferns N Petals and Snappy Gifts, promoting their products through social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook supports the market expansion. Despite the rising preference for personalized gifts, the increasing product cost compared to ordinary or conventional gifts impedes the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Personalized Gifts Market

The COVID-19 crisis has significantly affected the global personalized gifts market growth. The unprecedented pandemic impacted individuals’ ability to safely gather at parties and celebrations, notably in 2020, hampering the product demand. Furthermore, COVID-19 restrictions were imposed across countries, canceling events such as weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays, which decreased product demand. The temporary closure of manufacturing plants further hampered personalized gift production globally. However, product sales gradually increased in 2021, notably through online distribution channels, as COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed in several countries.
