China’s Luggage Industry: Digital Upgrading Toward the Future — Source: Qiya Smart Expo

Originally invented in the late 18th century for carrying personal belongings, bags have evolved into fashion symbols and become an important part of women’s attire. With economic growth and rising female status, market demand continues to increase, especially as the recovery of tourism further drives industry development.

As the world’s leading manufacturing base for luggage, China has a complete industrial chain and one of the largest consumer markets. The industry is facing new trends such as brand diversification and the rise of local design, while advancing toward digital and intelligent production through technological and internet-driven transformation. Brand marketing and online sales are also being strengthened.

With changing consumer habits and technological advancements, China’s luggage industry must continue to adapt to market shifts, strengthen innovation and brand building, and enhance production efficiency and quality. At the same time, providing shared manufacturing services for small enterprises and improving service systems will help better meet market demand and achieve greater success.
