The global smartphone case market was valued at USD XX million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD XX million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period.
Smartphone cases are accessories designed to provide protection and an attractive look to smartphones. These cases offer several benefits including enhanced safety, aesthetical appeal, durability, and dust resistance. Fixing a damaged or broken phone screen can be rather costly and this is a significant factor in driving the demand for smartphone cases.

Further, the availability of a wide assortment of designer covers, coupled with increasing fashion-conscious consumers, is bolstering the demand for smartphone cases. However, the market growth is expected to be hindered by the high cost of raw materials used in manufacturing smartphone cases.
