Background of the Study:
Globalization has profoundly transformed local economies, and its impact on traditional crafts in Ikere Local Government is significant. Local artisans, who depend on time-honored skills to create culturally resonant products, now face competition from mass-produced goods and modern production techniques (Akinola, 2023). Although globalization can open new markets and foster innovation, it also risks eroding traditional craftsmanship and cultural authenticity (Fashola, 2024). The interplay between global market forces and indigenous production methods necessitates a thorough evaluation of the challenges and opportunities faced by local crafts and industries. This study examines how globalization affects the sustainability of traditional crafts and explores strategies that balance market expansion with cultural preservation (Adewale, 2025).
