While most [luggage scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/size-my-bag) are a separate piece of travelling accessory that can easily get lost, the Handy Scale is implemented right into the suitcases. How efficient and convenient is this concept? I can't believe that other baggages have not incorporated this very helpful and time-saving idea. The Handy Scale is a [travelling trunk's handle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-checkin-trunk) that has a digital display so when you lift it up, the weight is automatically shown on the screen. Jet setters can pack easily without all the excess baggage that becomes a frustrating workload. The Handy Scale by Baek Kil Hyun is perfect for [smart travelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casesafe) and every suitcase should implement this digital device right into their bags. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Integrated Luggage Scales:** Incorporating digital weighing scales into luggage handles is a trend that provides both convenience and efficiency for travelers. - **Travel Accessories Consolidation:** Combining multiple travel accessories into a single product, like incorporating a luggage scale into its handle, presents a trend towards reducing the number of items travelers have to carry around. - **Innovative Luggage Designs:** Luggage manufacturers who incorporate features like digital scales into their product designs present a trend towards innovative luggage features that cater to the evolving needs of travelers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can benefit from this trend by catering to the needs of savvy and mobile travelers who value convenience and efficiency. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies who manufacture luggage scales or other travel accessories can leverage this trend by incorporating additional features that make their products stand out in the market. - **Luggage Manufacturing:** Luggage manufacturers can capitalize on this trend by innovating and incorporating additional features into their products that may set them apart from competitors and meet the evolving needs of travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timepiece-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-aeroease.md) - [Tech-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oogo-smart-luggage.md) - [Business Traveler Suitcase Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-luggage.md) - [Portable Minimalist Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bifur.md) - [Ultra-Modern Multifunctional Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggical.md) - [Stroller-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-journey-suitcase.md) - [Closet-Equipped Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flightable-closet.md) - [Bedside Table-Equipped Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suitcase-design.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Body Scales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-scale.md)
