Overview

An expert in the field from CMI, an expert in industry trends, has expected continued growth in the US Smart Luggage industry, due to the accelerating adoption of travel technology by consumers and through ongoing innovations. Concurrent adoption of travel technology by consumers, such as IoT, GPS, and biometric security devices in combination with materials that are concerned with sustainability, will improve experience and efficiencies. Alliances between luggage manufacturers, technology providers, and airlines are expected to establish opportunities for enormous domestic and international attention for the luggage industry. Supporting regulations, changing travel infrastructure, and demands from consumers are pushing premium and green products forward even faster than we are used to.

Key Trends & Drivers

• Growing Air Passenger Traffic: The ongoing upward trajectory in both domestic and international air passenger traffic in the US is presenting sustained demand for new travel luggage products. Smart luggage reduces passenger luggage stress, provides a hassle-free user experience, and delivers real-time tracking capability, catching up with traveler desires in an increasingly congested aviation marketplace.

• Rise of E-commerce and Online Retail Penetration: The new e-commerce platforms in the United States have provided a platform for wider customer accessibility to smart luggage products. Consumers are now comfortable buying products online, and with its price competition, product comparisons, and product reviews, the function has contributed to consumer adoption of new luggage products at a faster rate than in previous years. This growing trend in online retailer market share and employed advertising strategy will assist in driving brand awareness, market visibility, and sales growth.

• Adoption of Artificial Intelligence Capabilities: Smart luggage manufacturers are offering a SMART product powered by AI. The introduction of AI functionality by manufacturers assists with predictive maintenance, monitoring alerts for better security, and suggesting travel based on user preferences. The user's app provides real-time information, such as weight distribution, travel route, and alerts. The data abstraction of these elements allows the product to have a futuristic edge, which can assist with the long-term growth of the market.

• Increase in Frequent Flying and Loyalty Programs: Airlines and travel brands are cooperating with luggage manufacturers to incorporate smart luggage into their loyalty and rewards programs. The presence of smart luggage in the loyalty and rewards space will drive an increased number of customers to buy smart luggage since frequent travelers are generally some of the most likely consumers to buy premium technology-loaded products that conform with their loyalty and rewards experiences and align with brand roles and experiences.

• Increase in Millennial and Gen Z Travelers: Enthusiastic millennials and Gen Z travelers represent a large consumer market that values convenience, connectivity, and security in travel products. These tech-savvy consumers favour travel products with multiple functions, which are convenient and stylish. Smart luggage has become a market trend that fuses fashion with functional technology, resulting in high adoption rates for smart luggage.

• Collaboration Among Start-Up, Luggage, and Travel Service Companies: The collaboration between tech start-ups, luggage brands, and travel service companies is building innovative delivery models and availability, while acquisitions with established market players are enhancing distribution and visibility for the brand. The partnerships between tech start-ups can fast-track the delivery of advanced technology capabilities, tapping into additional segments of the competitive growth dynamics in the US market for smart luggage.

SWOT Analysis

• Strengths: Significant consumer awareness and adoption of travel technology in the U.S. Market also provide the opportunity for continued innovation of high-value product attributes, such as GPS tracking, biometric locks, and weight sensors, that offer consumers more convenience and security. Solid distribution, especially through e-commerce and offline retailers, offers nationwide access and convenience for consumers.

• Weaknesses: The relative cost of smart luggage compared to traditional luggage is a significant barrier to adoption; smart luggage is likely to be more expensive, therefore likely to disenfranchise price-sensitive consumers. Furthermore, consumer trust in the product is also impeded by the stringent airline regulations surrounding batteries. These include the ongoing arguments surrounding consumer experience concerning the need to constantly upgrade software and the need for consistent connectivity.

• Opportunities: Many opportunities exist due to the continual increase in air travel, both internationally and domestically, and the rise of the millennial and Gen Z generations of travellers who are travelling more than in previous generations. The opportunity to build continued partnerships between luggage, airlines, and technology providers for innovative luggage is huge. The ecosystem players have the opportunity to allow innovation to flourish as innovators of sustainable smart luggage products, because more and more consumers want sustainable products made from sustainable materials.

• Threats: One of the threats to the profits of ecosystem players is the pressure of competition from competitors, both incumbent brands and new entrants, when producing similar products. Several threat vectors can occur from cybersecurity threats, batteries (regulation and safety), and external threat vectors that include economic uncertainty, lockdowns, and disruption to air traffic control, which can reduce sales.
