Introduction – Core User Needs & Industry Context
Motorcyclists face storage challenges for helmets, rain gear, and personal belongings during commuting and touring. Backpacks cause rider fatigue; soft bags lack security. Motorcycle trunks — rear-mounted storage accessories attached to rear racks or pillion seats, made of rigid plastic (lockable, waterproof) or soft textile — solve these challenges. Rigid trunks are favored for commuting and touring due to durability and security, enhancing load capacity and rider practicality. According to the latest industry analysis, the global market for Motorcycle Trunks was estimated at US$ 384 million in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 556 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2026 to 2032. Global sales in 2024 reached 4.5 million units, with an average price of US$ 81 per unit.
