Back-to-school consumer product trends

Overview

Retailers and consumer guides are highlighting essential gear for the 2026 back-to-school season, with a particular focus on backpacks and technological accessories.

In Portugal, Sport Zone launched its “Regressa em Grande” campaign, which includes ergonomic guidance for students. The retailer advises that backpack weight should not exceed 10% of a student’s body weight and recommends using adjustable, padded straps to prevent physical strain.

In Mexico, TechZone introduced its Pop and Glow backpack collections, designed for high school and university students. These collections feature water-repellent polyester and reinforced compartments to protect laptops up to 16 inches.

General consumer guides have also identified key products for the upcoming school year, ranging from durable backpacks by brands such as JanSport and Herschel to various technological tools. Recommended tech items include wireless power banks, high-speed charging stations, and USB-C flash drives to assist with student workflows.
