Camping Equipment Market to Reach USD 28.10 Billion by 2030, Driven by Rising Outdoor Recreation and Demand for Eco-Friendly Gear

The global camping equipment market is projected to grow from USD 20.85 billion in 2025 to USD 28.10 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.15% during the forecast period. Key trends shaping this growth include a surge in outdoor recreational activity, increasing preference for eco-conscious equipment, and the expansion of family-oriented camping programs.

Camping has evolved into a mainstream leisure activity, supported by shifting lifestyles, greater environmental consciousness, and a desire for affordable travel experiences. The camping equipment market is benefitting from this cultural shift, as people seek ways to disconnect from technology, spend time with family, and immerse themselves in nature. The pandemic initially curbed demand due to lockdowns and travel restrictions, but recovery has been swift, with outdoor travel resurging post-2021.

Many governments relaxed restrictions by mid-2021, reviving interest in outdoor tourism and camping. This renewed demand has positively impacted the camping equipment sector, as travelers reengage with nature-centric vacationing. Companies are responding by offering products designed for comfort, durability, and environmental sustainability.

Key Trends: What's Driving Market Growth

1. Increasing Participation in Outdoor Recreational Activities

Rising awareness of mental and physical health benefits has led more consumers to embrace outdoor pastimes. Camping, in particular, offers opportunities for social bonding, stress relief, and connection to nature.

North American data indicates that camping now accounts for 40% of all leisure trips, with more than one-third of people camping at least once annually. The trend spans across generations, with new and returning campers alike seeking varied experiences-from tent camping to RV excursions. Camping is now viewed not just as an outdoor adventure but as an effective way to maintain work-life balance.

2. Eco-Friendly Equipment Demand on the Rise

As consumers become more environmentally conscious, there is a clear preference for gear that leaves a minimal ecological footprint. Manufacturers are launching eco-friendly camping products, including biodegradable utensils, recyclable tents, and solar-powered lighting. These offerings appeal to a growing base of consumers looking for sustainable travel options.

3. Emphasis on Safety and Comfort

Today's consumers seek reliable, lightweight, and weather-resistant equipment. Companies are responding with tents featuring superior insulation and sleeping bags designed for extreme climates. This focus on comfort and safety aligns with the growing demand for year-round camping in diverse geographies.

4. Community-Based and Age-Specific Camping Programs

Organizations like the American Hiking Society and BYM Camps are promoting age-targeted camping programs. These initiatives are not only drawing in new demographics-such as young families and retirees-but also boosting the overall visibility of camping as a recreational lifestyle.
