The South America luggage market has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, driven by factors such as the increasing demand for luxury and designer luggage bags among travelers, the rising disposable income of consumers, and the growing tourism industry in the region. The market is projected to continue its upward trajectory, with the South America travel and tourism industry expected to see further growth due to the increasing internet penetration, improving economic status of the countries, and the resulting increase in travel within and across the region. Outbound travel is a major reason for the industry's growth, with tourism contributing significantly to the region's GDP, employment, and total exports. However, despite the huge potential for growth in the luxury luggage market, South American countries have not made strong efforts to become producers of luxury goods. The market is still largely dominated by international brands, with a growing demand for smart luggage features like GPS tracking, USB charging, and digital locks, as well as eco-friendly materials and designs.

South American luggage market is held by Traditional Luggage, and Smart Luggage is growing at a remarkable rate. Traditional luggage continues to be at the top of the market because it has been around for a long time and travelers continue to opt for durability and security. Hard-shell suitcases and soft-sided bags make up Traditional Luggage, which are huge in demand because of their strength in enduring travel across different types of terrains in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. More traditional designs that appeal well to the mind of the leisure or business-traveling consumer within the geographical region will have credibility and reliability as their hallmarks. Smart Luggage is sky-rocketing as technology integration in consumer products becomes more widespread. Smart luggage features like GPS tracking, built-in chargers, and biometric locks appeal a lot to tech-savvy travelers interested in convenience and enhanced security. This is an especially very popular segment with the younger travelers and the frequent flyers, besides those located in the urban centers, such as São Paulo and Buenos Aires, with a higher concentration of international travel. Rising awareness about smart technology heightens demand; consumers seek newer solutions that make traveling easier and better.
Based on the report, the distribution channel is segmented into offline channel, online channel.
The Offline Channel dominates the South American luggage market, but the Online Channel is growing very fast. The offline retail channel's dominance is because, traditionally, customers would shop offline and because of the localization of brick-and-mortar across the whole region. Consumers tend to inspect luggage items physically before making a purchase, valuing the tactile experience when trying to assess the quality and durability of an item. Key offline channels include Samsonite, Delsey, and American Tourister, which retail mainly through these offlines, using their robust retail network as a key offline channel in Brazil and Argentina, wherein the consumer will still buy travel-related goods from leaders whom they trust. The Online Channel is picking pace rapidly since the penetration of ecommerce is increasing, and consumer behavior is changing. Such convenience, or even lower prices and a greater number of products, attracts younger crowds seeking to save time. Online marketplaces such as Mercado Libre and Amazon currently hold the lead, while brands like Bluesmart and Away will emerge in the future. Improvement in digital marketing campaigns and internet and social media influences further boost growth by effectively targeting consumers searching for innovative luggage solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic, which pushed the digital adoption, has also been a trigger for its drive to online channels due to consumers' desire for safe alternative shopping options. Hence, whereas for the consumer, the channel offline is the favorite because of its reliability and brand trust, the online channel does have a very high potential for growth since it resonates with changing consumer preference on convenience, variety, and new shopping experiences.
