The Global Green Alliance (GGA) has released a report stating that traditional suitcase production consumes approximately 500000 tons of non degradable plastic annually. At present, multiple research institutions are collaborating to develop environmentally friendly enclosures using mycelium substrates and marine recycled plastics as raw materials. Some samples have passed wear resistance tests (up to 50000 times of rod extension and contraction). Consumer research shows that 67% of users are willing to pay an additional 15% -20% for environmentally friendly materials.

At the 2024 International Luggage Exhibition, modular suitcases became the focus. Through the magnetic splicing system, users can quickly expand the 20 inch chassis into a 28 inch shipping box, meeting the needs of multiple travel scenarios. Industry analysts say that this “one box, multiple uses” design responds to the generation’s demand for personalization and environmental protection, and currently over 40% of young consumers are willing to pay a premium for modular design.

The latest international market research shows that there are two major trends in global suitcase consumption in 2024:
Material Innovation: The proportion of ultra light PC material has been increased to 65%, and the weight has been reduced by 30% compared to traditional enclosures;
Intelligent upgrade: The search volume of the suitcase with built-in GPS tracking and USB charging function has increased by 120% year-on-year.
Experts point out that the demand for “efficient travel” among business travelers is driving technological iteration in the industry, and it is expected that the annual growth rate of the smart luggage market will reach 18% in the next three years.
