The increasing popularity of air travel is expected to drive the growth of the smart luggage market in the coming years. Air travel, which involves flying on airplanes or other aircraft, enables people and goods to travel long distances quickly between cities, countries, or continents. The growth in air travel is attributed to factors such as lower costs, faster travel times, improved connectivity, and the rising demand for global travel. Smart luggage plays a key role in enhancing air travel by offering features such as GPS tracking, remote locking, and built-in scales, ensuring convenience, security, and adherence to airline weight restrictions. Additionally, USB charging ports and proximity alerts help travelers stay connected and reduce the risk of lost or stolen baggage. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a Canada-based international trade organization, total global air traffic in 2024 increased by 10.4% in terms of revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs), compared to 2023. International traffic grew by 13.6%, while domestic traffic saw a 5.7% increase. The rise in air travel is thus contributing to the demand for smart luggage.

Companies in the smart luggage industry are focusing on innovations such as wallet trackers, which help prevent loss and theft by offering real-time location tracking, smartphone alerts, and easy recovery of misplaced wallets. A wallet tracker is a small device, typically Bluetooth or GPS-enabled, designed to help users find lost wallets by connecting to a smartphone app. For example, in October 2023, Samsung, a South Korea-based electronics manufacturer, launched the Galaxy SmartTag2, an advanced Bluetooth tracker designed for backpacks. The new design features a ring shape that replaces the previous punch-hole design and supports both ultra-wideband and Bluetooth connectivity. Key features of the device include a "Lost Mode," allowing users to enter contact information to facilitate the recovery of lost items, and the Compass View feature, which provides directional guidance through on-screen arrows. Samsung has also improved the battery life for longer usability.
