Market Drivers and Trends

The rise in outdoor activities is a key trend bolstering the demand for camping equipment. The participation has spurred the growing number of clubs and organizations promoting such activities. Further, in developing economies, youths and families in urban regions are taking time off their hectic work schedules and trekking activities. Camping has been gaining popularity due to stress release factors and as an activity that promotes physical & mental health. Rising disposable income, increasing stress levels, rising pollution levels in urban areas, increasing awareness of camping benefits, and increasing trend of hiking and camping among young people are major factors driving the camping equipment market. Additionally, the market's growth positively impacts the growing preference for recreational vehicles. Moreover, consumers are increasingly giving more attention to the safety factor, thereby fueling the expansion of the market. Thus, the rise in outdoor activities boosts the growth of the camping equipment market.

Market Restraints and Challenges

Camping is mostly expensive owing to the specialized gear. Tents, sleeping bags, outdoor cooking gear, and outdoor clothing can all have high up-front costs that cost hundreds to even thousands of dollars. Once the user has the gear, camping is relatively cheap–just food, travel, and reservation costs. The cost of camping is almost directly proportional (related) to how cold the weather is. Colder weather requires better gear to handle the cold weather. Perhaps the biggest indicator of how expensive camping will be for a user is how creative the user is willing to be in their gear. Hence, the high camping costs might act as a restraining factor for the camping equipment market.
