People use bags to carry laptops to prevent laptops from getting damaged and protecting their screens from cracking while traveling. Such bags made up of nylon, polyester, leather & others are available in different shapes & compartment sizes in the market. Business professionals essentially use RFID-blocking laptop cases that provide an effective anti-theft system. Among laptop gamers, bags equipped with a USB charging port inside them are widely used as they can charge their device headsets with such ports while traveling.

Nowadays, technology giants such as Google Inc., Dell Inc., Microsoft corporations, and others, in collaboration with the bag manufacturers, are introducing innovative laptop bags to enter the laptop bag manufacturing businesses.

Rising consumers' trends towards buying lightweight laptop devices over desk computers are expected to ease in demand for laptop bags among people worldwide. According to the data presented by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, in 2019, Japan's laptop computer shipment reached 7.15 million units, 33.6% up from the previous year. Such growth in the shipment of laptop devices is likely to drive the laptop cases' revenues from Japan. Additionally, regular provision of laptop bags of different shapes and colours by the associated companies is likely to attract the people towards buying such products thereby, driving the market growth.
