M2 - Tue Mar 04, 10:25AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/37bxxw/global_luggage) has announced the addition of the "Global Luggage Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Luggage market to grow at a CAGR of 7.15 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing consumer income levels. The Global Luggage market has also been witnessing the growing number of marketing initiatives. However, increasing competition from local brands and counterfeit products could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are ACE Co. Ltd., Samsonite International SA, Tumi Inc., VF Corp. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Antler Ltd., Boyt Harness Co. LLC, BRIC's Industria Valigeria Fine S.p.A., C&C Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Delsey SA, Etienne Aigner AG, Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Nike Inc., Rimowa Luggage, Targus Group International Inc., Valigeria Roncato S.p.A., Victorinox Swiss Army, and VIP Industries Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The increase in the number of marketing and promotional initiatives by vendors is playing an important role in luggage product sales. Advertising is the key marketing tool used by vendors to increase brand penetration and spread awareness about their products to consumers. Some of the common promotional strategies practiced by vendors include offering discounts, seasonal offers, and lucky draws. The availability of a large number of advertising channels/modes and the growing penetration of the internet enable vendors to effectively increase their reach and gain customer loyalty. Thus, the focus on increasing promotional and marketing strategies by vendors is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing consumer income levels in many developing countries of the world. The rapid economic growth in many countries and improving macroeconomic conditions has increased the disposable income of consumers. This growing disposable income is triggering consumer spending on luggage, thereby driving the growth of the market.
