What is smart luggage? Smart luggage refers to suitcases with tech capabilities—typically USB ports to connect portable chargers for easy access. Some styles include their own portable chargers, while others require you to provide your own. Either way, you’ll never have a dead phone while traveling. The global smart Iuggage market is expected to grow by USD 4.48 billion, accelerating at a CAGR of 20.87% between 2021 and 2026.

To estimate the size of the market, Technavio has tracked the recent trends and developments in the apparel, accessories, and luxury goods markets.

Smart Luggage Market: Major Growth Drivers

The smart luggage market reports the following factors as major growth drivers during the forecast period:

• Premiumization through product innovation
• Increasing consumer focus on luggage security
• An increasing number of product launches

In addition, the report identifies the enforcement of weight regulations on luggage by airlines as a major trend in the smart Iuggage market. The introduction of basic economic fare has forced most airlines to avoid heavy luggage inside the aircraft. Some are enforcing strict weight regulations for luggage. To capitalize on this trend, vendors in the market are offering smart luggage with built-in scales that help travelers comply with weight regulations set by various airline operators. This trend is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the global smart Iuggage market during the forecast period.
