The growth during the historical period can be attributed to a variety of factors, including advances in transportation, changes in fashion and design trends, alterations in consumer preferences and lifestyle, marketing and advertising strategies, the expansion of the colonial era, cultural transformations, and societal norms.

• Expectations are high for the travel bags market to experience robust growth in the coming years, with predictions indicating it will increase to $29.38 billion by 2029. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
Aspects such as urbanization and mobility, worldwide travel patterns, luxury travel, travel protocols and security precautions, and the growth of e-commerce can be credited for this anticipated rise. The forecast period also foresees the escalating demand for environment-friendly materials, innovative additions like in-built chargers and GPS tracking, tailored customization possibilities, adaptive designs, and convenience tailored to modern travellers.
The burgeoning tourism industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the travel bags market. Tourism involves journeying to various places, usually for pleasure, relaxation, or cultural exploration. Several elements, such as the growing influence of social media and digital platforms, augmented mobility, the rise in sports events and music festivals, and others, contribute to the surge in tourism. Travel bags serve as crucial elements for tourists, providing convenience, storage, organization, and safeguarding of possessions while overcoming travel obstacles. For example, as per UN Tourism, a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Spain, international arrivals in the first quarter of 2023 achieved 80% of the levels seen prior to the pandemic. Roughly 235 million tourists undertook international travel during the initial three months, a figure more than twice that of the same period in 2022. Hence, the burgeoning tourism industry is fueling the growth of the travel bags market.
