Abstracts

The turbulent economic conditions in 2009 restricted the growth of the travel goods market. The unemployment rate jumped to 5.8% in 2009 and consumers had lower disposable incomes. Despite having extra money in cash as a result of two stimulus packages introduced by the Federal government, Australians decided to reduce their debts instead of buying new luggage. The lack of demand for luggage resulted in the fall in the growth rate and the subsector experienced growth of only 1.9% during 2009.
