The growing participation in sports is expected to drive the expansion of the Sports Luggage market in the coming years. Sports participation refers to individuals engaging in physical activities, either recreationally or competitively, across a variety of organized sports and exercises. The rise in sports participation is fueled by increasing health awareness and the growth of community programs that encourage more people, particularly youth, to engage in regular physical activity. Sports luggage supports this trend by providing athletes and enthusiasts with organized, secure, and convenient storage for their equipment, facilitating easier transport to training sessions, competitions, and events. For example, in September 2024, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), a US-based nonprofit association, high school sports participation in the 2023-24 school year reached 8,062,302 students, an increase of 210,469 from the 2022-23 school year, marking the first time participation exceeded eight million.
