The "travel trend" is back, with luggage sales in the United States increasing by 129% year-on-year!

In the 12 months ending February 2022 , U.S. luggage sales grew 129% from the previous year, according to research firm NPD. NPD said this was driven primarily by fewer promotions, higher average selling prices and travel demand.

NPD data shows that the average selling price of luggage increased 19% year-on-year in the 12 months ending February 2022.

In addition, as the epidemic eases and the United States continues to relax restrictions, coupled with the arrival of spring break and summer holidays, people are preparing to travel.

Since the outbreak in January, the number of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States has continued to decline, stabilizing at around 30,000 this week, a significant decrease from the high of nearly 1.4 million in January. The easing of the epidemic has provided favorable conditions for people to go out.

In fact, Americans are very willing to go out. At the end of last year , Jungle Scout said in a report that 46 % of Americans said that traveling would be a top priority in 2022, and many people have already made travel plans.

Searching for " travel " on Google Trends shows that it has remained high in the past 12 months. The NPD report also shows that family and leisure travel in the United States are recovering faster than business travel. This also indirectly proves that during the epidemic, people always want to go out and see.

According to NPD, nearly a quarter of Americans plan to travel or vacation by plane or cruise in the next three months , and more than a third plan to take a car, train or other ground transportation. This travel craze will drive sales of some products up.

Recently, Amazon marketing consulting company Ecommerce Nurse studied the relevant data of Amazon US site in March (March 6th to 12th) and compiled a list of hot search terms in March , which included travel products.

In March, the search popularity of words such as Backpack, luggage, travel accessories, compression socks for women, and crossbody bags for women on Amazon was high .
