Global Camping Equipment Overview

Recreational activities performed outdoors, away from cities or towns, in the middle of nature and wildlife are defined as camping. People can pitch their tents, stay in their caravans, tiny houses, or cabins while camping. However, on a majority of camping trips, people prefer to stay in a tent. Adventurous activities like hiking, trekking, fishing, rafting, biking are often associated with camping. Having the right camping equipment and gear is essential as it is next to impossible to get anything in the middle of nowhere during camping trips.

Global Camping Equipment Market Trend

Growth Drivers

Rising Participation in Outdoor Recreational Activities

The increasing participation in outdoor recreational activities is a significant factor driving the growth of the global camping equipment market, especially in regions like Europe and North America. Factors such as changes in lifestyle and attitudes, demographics, increasing recreational expenditure, and the physical and mental benefits of outdoor recreational activities inspire consumers to engage in outdoor recreational activities. According to the 2021 North American Camping Report, unlike older campers, the new generation campers are looking to indulge in a variety of outdoor recreational activities.

Backpacking/hiking and fishing are the two most favored outdoor activities among campers. However, the 2021 North American Camping Report mentions that these activities are not very popular among first-time campers, whose number went up by more than five times in 2020 compared to 2019. The report indicates that it was expected that 2.4 million campers would make their first trip; however, the actual number came out to be 10.1 million. The growing trend of outdoor recreational activities among younger generations and first-time campers and the health benefits associated with these activities is driving the growth of the global camping equipment market.

Increasing Demand for Eco-friendly Camping Equipment

With the growing awareness of environment preservation, the demand for eco-friendly raw materials in camping equipment is on the rise. Apart from price, design, and quality, consumers look for the sustainability of products. An example of such an eco-friendly product is the Salt Creek 2 by Big Agnes, which is entirely made from recycled materials. This eco-friendly tent offers 100% recycled materials for the tent, the fly, and the floor. On the other hand, Marmot Eco Pro sleeping bags from Recreational Equipment, Inc. feature the company's patented UpCycle technology. This product is made using recycled plastic water bottles, and the insulation contains 80% post-consumer waste. Another example of recycled polypropylene is REI's Recycled Camp Mug. Such eco-friendly products are driving the growth of global camping equipment market.

Restraints

Health & Safety Issues and Increasing Cost

One of the most pressing concerns for camp professionals is the health and safety of campers and staff (including mental health, medical requirements, and physical security). With growing emphasis on mental health, along with physical and emotional health, the American Camp Association, Inc., claims that almost 71% respondents in their survey said campers’ and staff members’ mental, emotional, and social health (MESH) is a growing concern at present.The survey also highlights that 45% of camps in the USA think medication and prescription management is a lot more serious problem today than it was a few years ago, and requires immediate action. As a result, health and safety concerns could limit the global camping equipment market's growth over the forecast period.

Additionally, the Increasing costs for camping and equipment are driving low-income household campers away and is expected to be a major restraint for growth of the global camping equipment market over the forecast period.

Global Camping Equipment Market: By Product Type

Based on product types, the global camping equipment market is grouped into camping furniture, camping backpacks, tents, inflatable mattresses, cooking systems & cookware, camping gear & accessories, swags, ensuits, and others. Among these, the tents segment dominates the camping equipment market. Compared to traditional designs, tent designs have evolved in terms of shape, size, set-up, and privacy they offer. The projected increase in the demand for ultra-lightweight tents and instant tents is anticipated to drive the growth of the global camping tents market during the forecast period.
