Manufacturers are responding by launching products with innovative designs, enhanced durability, and smart features to meet evolving traveler expectations.
Market Growth Drivers
One of the key drivers of the travel accessories market is the growing number of international travelers. With the steady rebound of tourism and business travel, consumers are increasingly purchasing luggage straps, security devices, electronic gadgets, and personal care kits to ensure safe and convenient journeys. According to international tourism data, global tourist movement increased significantly in early 2024, supporting demand for travel-related products. In addition, travel retail outlets at airports, seaports, and tourist destinations continue to play a vital role in driving impulse purchases of travel accessories.
Another major growth factor is the rising replacement rate of travel essentials. Consumers are upgrading to premium and technologically advanced travel products that offer better functionality and durability. Frequent product innovation, premiumization, and wider availability of travel accessories across multiple retail channels are encouraging repeat purchases and accelerating market growth through 2025 and 2032.
Market Trends
A notable trend shaping the travel accessories market is the rising adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly travel gear. Environmentally conscious consumers are increasingly opting for products made from recycled, biodegradable, and sustainable materials to reduce their environmental footprint. Companies are launching travel accessories made from recycled plastics and eco-friendly textiles, aligning product portfolios with sustainability goals. This trend is particularly strong among younger travelers and premium tourism segments, contributing to market expansion during the forecast period.
Technological integration is another important trend, especially the growing demand for smart electronic travel accessories. Products such as GPS-enabled smart luggage, power banks, noise-cancelling headphones, and mobile accessories are gaining popularity as travelers seek connectivity and convenience while on the move.
By type, the electronic accessories segment is expected to dominate the market during 2025-2032. This dominance is driven by high consumer demand for smart luggage, power banks, mobile and laptop peripherals, and other electronic gadgets essential for modern travel. Continuous advancements in smartphones, laptops, and wearable devices further support demand for compatible travel electronics.
The textile travel accessories segment benefits from demand for comfort-oriented products such as pillow blankets, rugs, and bedding items provided by transportation agencies and hospitality providers. Growing preference for natural and biodegradable textile materials is expected to support future growth.

By distribution channel, the offline channels segment led the market in 2024. Physical retail stores, specialty luggage shops, and airport outlets allow consumers to examine products in person, assess quality, and make informed purchasing decisions. In-store trials and impulse buying during travel continue to support offline sales. Meanwhile, online channels are gaining traction due to discount offerings, wider product selection, and increasing consumer comfort with e-commerce platforms.
