Luggage Market to Exceed $45 Billion by 2010, Driven by Surge in Travel & Tourism Industry, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB), July 12, 2007 -- Being one of the world's largest industries, travel and tourism industry greatly influences the Luggage Market (http://www.strategyr.com/MCP-1189.asp). Almost any event that affects the travel industry similarly affects the luggage industry. In fact, even a shallow cyclical fall in travel industry would affect the luggage market, and weaken growth prospects. Global international tourist arrivals reached 827 million in 2006. Increasing cross-border and internal migrations is influencing the luggage market to a great extent. Migration from one place to another, or from one country to another is indirectly escalating the demand for luggage, which plays a vital role in travel.

As per the findings of the new report, luggage producers are focusing more on research and development, expending their money and time, to design and manufacture luggage with high quality materials and advanced features. The linkage of luggage with fashion demands luggage suppliers to constantly innovate to meet evolving lifestyles and trends. The luggage industry is employing state-of-art technology and scientific research to develop sophisticated products with innovative designs that effectively reduce the neck pain, back stress and shoulder distress in the travelers. Among the product types, Sports Bags, Backpacks & Daypacks, is projected to be the fastest growing segment, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.8% through 2001-2010. On the other hand, Suitcases/Pullmans, Casual Bags & Garment Bags Market (http://www.strategyr.com/MCP-1189.asp), represents the largest segment, with estimated sales of US$17.8 billion for 2006.

Demand for lifestyle luggage products is gradually picking up and is primarily driven by highly fashion-conscious consumers. Travelers are increasingly matching luggage with the clothes they wear. Fashion-oriented luggage such as backpacks, sports bags, and computer cases, which suit their requirements and give a stylish look are therefore preferred. Of late, the demand for luggage-courier services increased due to the new baggage polices and security procedures introduced by the airlines. Luggage-courier service companies offer door-to-door services, which include picking up the luggage from traveler's house and delivering it to the final destination.
