Camping’s appeal as a stress-relief activity has spurred demand for products like sleeping bags, camping stoves, and hiking gear. Increasing disposable incomes and the trend of camping among young people, particularly in urban areas with high pollution, support market growth. However, the high cost of premium and luxury camping equipment poses a challenge, encouraging rentals as a cost-effective alternative. Sustainability trends, such as solar-powered gear, and innovations in lightweight products are key factors shaping the market’s trajectory through 2032.
