In today’s global marketplace, the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products is at an all-time high. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the environmental and social impacts of their purchases, leading to a significant shift towards products that are both ethically produced and environmentally friendly. This trend is particularly evident in the handicraft sector, where traditional artisanship meets modern sustainability practices. Altus Exports stands at the forefront of this movement, championing sustainable handicraft exports and supporting eco-friendly practices across its operations.

The Importance of Sustainability in Handicraft Exports

The global handicraft market has witnessed substantial growth over the past decade. In 2024, the market was valued at approximately USD 739.95 billion and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2030.

This growth is driven by a rising consumer preference for unique, handmade products that often carry a smaller environmental footprint compared to mass-produced goods.

Sustainability in handicraft exports encompasses various aspects:
