The conceptual luggage features an RFID chip that allows it to be tracked using an accompanying [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-smart-collection-by-samsara) app. Additionally, the luggage has a built-in sensor that can tell you how much your bag weighs simply by lifting it up. Airbus estimated that the intelligent bag would cost only 20 percent more than a regular piece of luggage. It also said that it would consider offering a rental service, should Bag2Go be developed. The service would let you drop your bag off to a courier who would then take it to the airport for you. All you would need to do is board your flight and collect your bag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Trackable Luggage:** Opportunity for luggage manufacturers to incorporate tracking technology in their products, offering travelers peace of mind and convenience. - **RFID Technology:** Potential for businesses to integrate RFID chips in various applications beyond luggage, such as inventory management or supply chain tracking. - **Weight-sensing Sensors:** Disruptive potential for industries to develop products with built-in sensors that provide real-time weight measurements, eliminating the need for separate weighing scales. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel and Tourism:** Innovation opportunities for the travel industry to leverage trackable luggage technology, enhancing customer experience and minimizing lost luggage incidents. - **Technology and Electronics:** Advancements in RFID technology open up possibilities for the electronics industry to incorporate tracking features in their products, improving asset management and theft prevention. - **Manufacturing and Supply Chain:** Potential for the manufacturing and supply chain industries to adopt weight-sensing sensors in various applications, automating processes and streamlining operations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luggage Tracking Safety Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-luggage-tracker.md) - [Tech-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oogo-smart-luggage.md) - [Discreet Trackable Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qantas-x-july.md) - [Trackable Travel Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-smart-collection-by-samsara.md) - [Mini Luggage-Compatible Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airtag.md) - [Location-Tracking Luggage Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taglock-travel-lock.md) - [In-App Baggage-Tracking Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-canada-mobile-app.md) - [Connected Luggage Tags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knog-scout-travel.md) - [NFC-Enabled Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straw-suitcases.md)
