Growth in Travel & Tourism

Growth in travel and tourism is a key driver of the global bag market, greatly increasing demand across various categories, including luggage, backpacks, duffel bags, and travel accessories. For example, according to the UN Tourism report, between January and June 2025, approximately 690 million international tourist trips were recorded, which is 33 million more than in the same period in 2024. This rise in travel indicates a strong recovery in global mobility, boosting demand for both functional and stylish travel bags. As people take more trips for business, leisure, and adventure, they seek luggage that is both strong and lightweight, yet versatile, combining practicality with style. Additionally, the rise of weekend getaways and short business trips has raised the need for cabin-friendly luggage and multi-purpose travel bags. Tourism expansion in regions such as the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe is also driving premiumization, with travelers preferring stylish, high-quality luggage that looks good and works well. Furthermore, this surge in global adventure tourism has led to higher demand for durable backpacks and outdoor equipment. Overall, this increase in tourism continues to fuel innovation, enhance product quality, and boost volume growth in the worldwide bag industry.

According to the report, the Asia-Pacific held the dominant market share in the Bags Market

Asia-Pacific holds the largest share of the global bags market due to its large manufacturing infrastructure, access to raw materials, and affordable labor. These advantages allow large-scale production for local and international markets. Key manufacturing centers like China, India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh produce a wide variety of textile, leather, and synthetic bags at competitive prices and with faster turnaround times. Rising disposable incomes, growing fashion awareness, and increasing urbanization across APAC further increase demand for handbags, backpacks, luggage, and luxury accessories. The region also benefits from widespread e-commerce adoption and increased travel activity. Furthermore, strategic investments in smart bags, environmentally friendly materials, and creative designs bolster the region's position in the global bags market.
