Editor’s Note
This analysis highlights the robust growth trajectory of the global travel accessories market, driven by consumer demand for convenience, safety, and personalization. The significant market share held by the Asia-Pacific region underscores its pivotal role in this expanding industry.
The global travel accessories market was valued at USD 23.3 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 24.6 billion in 2026 to USD 43 billion by 2034, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.24% during the forecast period. In 2025, the Asia Pacific region dominated the travel accessories market with a 48.89% share.
Travel accessories provide safety and convenience to users during travel. Consumers prefer lightweight, compact-sized, and personalized travel essentials to conveniently hold luggage during outdoor activities. Manufacturers are producing items with unique designs and features to ensure users travel comfortably with their products. For instance, in April 2024, the premium travel goods manufacturer Swiss Army launched an innovative line of nine products featuring an 8-wheel design and unique specifications. These products are affordably available in India.
A key trend fueling market growth is the increasing adoption of sustainable travel gear. Environmentally conscious consumers prefer eco-friendly outdoor essentials to minimize the product’s environmental impact. This rising demand for such products and the increasing number of companies offering recycled plastic items are supporting market expansion. The Asia Pacific travel accessories market witnessed growth from USD 10.2 billion in 2023 to USD 10.8 billion in 2024.
Based on type, the market is segmented into textile travel accessories, personal care items, electronic accessories, travel bags & luggage accessories, and others.
The electronic accessories segment is projected to gain the major market share during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032. The segment’s significant global travel accessories market share is attributed to substantial traveler demand for GPS tracking systems and travel gadgets like power banks, headsets, and mobile accessories, driven by the need for smart luggage and smartphone/laptop peripherals. Furthermore, advancements in the development of laptop, smartphone, and tablet accessories, including computer mice, earphones, and gaming products, will positively contribute to segment growth during the 2025-2032 forecast period.
The convenience offered to travelers by transportation providers through luxurious pillows, blankets, mats, and bedsheets, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey, primarily supports revenue for the textile segment. Additionally, shifting consumer preference for textile products made from natural and biodegradable components will support future segment growth.
The personal care items segment is expected to hold a 21.18% share in 2024. The rising popularity of multi-pack travel toiletry kits among women to meet personal hygiene needs during travel propels the growth of personal care items.
Rising demand from business travelers for travel accessories, including straps and air tags, to secure luggage safety skyrockets segment revenue for Travel Bag & Luggage Accessories. The ‘others’ segment includes various product types such as water bottles, first-aid kits, packing organizers, cookware products, and passport holders. Growing awareness about the diverse range of travel goods and evolving consumer needs for travel product consumption will propel the growth of the others segment.
By distribution channel, the global market is separated into online channels and offline channels.
The offline channel segment analyzes various distribution channels such as supermarkets & hypermarkets, specialty stores, factory outlets, and direct sales channels. The offline channel segment held the major market share in 2024. The segment’s dominance is attributed to increased consumer spending on outdoor products during travel. According to a report titled “China Inbound Tourism Development Report” issued by the World Tourism Alliance (WTA) in March 2022, approximately 86% of China’s inbound tourists were willing to purchase goods during their travels. Consumers can better understand product features and test product performance while shopping directly from luggage stores. The growing consumer preference for purchasing trial-and-tested travel straps and other safety products to avoid luggage theft issues during travel supports the offline channel’s segment growth.
Continuous discounts on luggage and accessories offered by e-commerce retailers are promoting the global online sales of travel products. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of online shopping for outdoor essentials among consumers is boosting the online channel’s segment revenue.
Region-wise, the global market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.
During the forecast period from 2025 to 2032, base toiletries, shopping bags, and other outdoor products are supporting the growth of the accessories market. In September 2022, Samsonite International S.A. expanded its portfolio of outdoor essentials by launching “Magnum Eco,” a durable lightweight luggage collection made from advanced recycled materials. The product line is available to consumers in India.
Emirates, a Dubai-based shop selling premium products to international arrivals, launched a unique capsule collection of luggage, bags, and accessories. These products are made from fashionable and upcycled materials, suitable for aircraft retrofitting.
The novel COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the demand for travel accessories, particularly throughout 2020. Travel restrictions worldwide significantly disrupted global supply chain operations, hindering product sales. However, the global market recovered in the post-COVID-19 phase, with the easing of travel restrictions and the reopening of physical outlets/distribution platforms.
