Summary

Equipping Outdoor Leisure for All	With camping on the rise globally, consumers are looking to make the most of their outdoor excursions with products that prioritise comfort for all. Innovative design and savvy gadgets upgrade campsite cooking and bring home comforts on the road, adaptive gear removes barriers for campers with limited mobility, and pets are catered for with their own camping kits.
Intrepid Adventurers	As the draw of off-grid exploration entices more daring campers to venture further afield, manufacturers offer innovative products that promise preparedness in even the most remote conditions. Compact, multipurpose gear and innovative streamlined shelters make light work of wild camping and spontaneous or solo stays.
Immersed in Nature	Though outdoor recreation is on the rise overall, individual participation rates are falling (Outdoor Industry Association, 2024). In turn, clever brands and designers are devising new products that make outdoor recreation safe, welcoming and enjoyable for consumers of all ages and experience levels.
Combatting Camping & Outdoor Waste	With £2m ($2.7m) worth of tents, sleeping bags and other camping equipment abandoned annually in the UK alone (Atomik Research, 2019), brands are taking responsibility for camping waste with replacement and repair schemes and material innovations that prioritise sustainability.
