In October 2020, Google and Samsonite IP Holdings S.AR.L. collaborated to launch a smart backpack incorporated with Jacquard System by Google called Konnect-I. The touch sensitivity offers individuals customization functions based on gestures. This would build competition in the market to develop more technologically advanced products to offer convenience and comfort.
Restrictions and Regulations Caused Work, Sports, Travel, and Tourism to Halt During Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic led to the adoption of various measures, such as closing borders, social distancing, and closure of non-essential businesses, to contain the spread of the virus. These restrictions and regulations caused work, sports, travel, and tourism to halt, further affecting the market growth as demand for the bags declined. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), COVID-19 led to the decline of 65% in tourist arrivals globally owing to the shift in consumer demand for travel products. Also, due to lockdowns, offline distribution channels such as hypermarkets/supermarkets, specialty stores, and others were also closed.
Technological Developments and Changing Trends to Propel Market Development
Technological developments and changing trends are predicted to drive the backpack market growth. Modern bags and luggage products are now designed to focus on popular fashion trends, appearance, and consumer needs. Work-from-home jobs fueled the trend of staycation among working professionals. This has further supported market growth as individuals need to carry electronics, documents, and accessories. In November 2021, Targus launched Cypress EcoSmart backpack, which is made from recycled bottles.
