Global Camping Equipment Market Likely to be Driven by Increased Camping Activity

Many people like camping experiences with family and friends; some prefer to spend a few days alone in the woods, close to nature. Technology has helped make new audiences aware of relatively remote and untouched locations. Further, companies have made efforts to connect campers to unique camping experiences and draw a larger number of people towards camping activities. These factors have led to an increase in the number of individuals seeking novel camping experiences, especially in North America. The year 2021 witnessed significant demand for equipment related to fishing, camping and watercraft recreation in USA as people exhibited great desire to spend time outdoors. The market for camping equipment is likely to be driven by the rising number of people taking up camping activities and campers’ demand for robust and efficient products capable of meeting requirements related to various outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, camping, adventure-seeking, etc. North America and Europe are expected to be key markets; Asia offers significant market potential.

Several benefits have been attributed to camping activities, including stress reduction, getting away from the commotion of routine life and allowing oneself time alone and with family, opportunities to rebuild and reinforce relationships, physical exercise and fitness, spirituality and getting closer to nature, learning new life skills, and enhancing confidence levels, among others. However, campers’ decisions with respect to regularity and where to camp are significantly influenced by life stages and events. Factors such as marriage, decision to start a family, retirement, etc. have a considerable impact on the way people camp and the types of services, experiences, products and amenities they seek. Younger and ethnically diverse campers display greater enthusiasm towards camping activities, and have been known to undertake a greater number of camping trips and camping nights.

Some examples of camping equipment include tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, portable chairs, first-aid kits, headlamps, water-purifiers, waterproof lighters, camp stoves, cookware kits, multi-spice shakers, camper’s multi tool, camping coolers, portable pressure showers, camping hammocks, lanterns, etc.

Better Product Offerings and Companies’ Efforts to Encourage Outdoor Camping Activities Expected to Boost the Market

Leading firms seek to provide superior products in terms of comfort, safety, size, weight, and quality while identifying new growth opportunities, consumers, technologies, markets and channels. Companies like Johnson Outdoors, are also increasingly emphasizing the environmental aspect in business operations, and stressing upon reducing their carbon footprint. This theme falls in line with the essence of camping outdoors in a healthy, clean and natural environment. In 2021, Jetboil Stash outdoor cooking system by Johnson Outdoors was named the best backpacking stove in the Popular Mechanics Outdoor Awards.

In 2019, NEMO’s Airpin Ultralight Stake won the Backpacker’s Coveted Editors’ Choice Award. The new stake offered a three-point locking system to hold cord tight while eliminating the need for knots, cord locks or guyout tensioners.

In 2021, NPD Group announced NEMO the fastest growing camping brand in the US outdoor industry.

Companies are also looking to encourage people to take up outdoor activities such as camping. In 2021, Tentrr and Coleman teamed up to offer consumers a memorable camping experience.
