Travel irons, as traveling gadgets, are losing their market share, primarily because most hotels and resorts offer irons as well as laundry services. Also, with the trend of carrying wrinkle-resistant clothes during travel, which do not need ironing, the need for travel irons further diminishes. Travel irons are mostly used by business professionals. However, with increasing consciousness of consumers about dressing even during leisure travel, the sales of these portable, lightweight irons will likely increase during the forecast period. As irons comprise a part of the very basic appliances, there is not much innovation taking place on this front, globally. However, in order to increase the saleability of travel irons and further entice consumers, players are introducing various features such as covetable wings, dual voltage, and compact nonstick soleplates.
