The Europe camping tent market size is forecast to increase by USD 307.7 million at a CAGR of 5.96% between 2023 and 2028. The camping tent market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the tide in adventure tourism and the availability of technologically advanced camping tents. The adventure tourism industry has seen a steady increase in popularity, leading to a higher demand for camping equipment. Advanced camping tents, equipped with features such as UV protection, waterproofing, and easy setup, cater to the evolving needs of consumers. However, the market also faces challenges, including the increasing availability of counterfeit camping tents. These substandard products not only compromise the safety and durability of the product but also harm the reputation of genuine manufacturers. Despite this, the market is expected to continue its growth trajectory, fueled by the increasing popularity of outdoor activities and the continuous innovation in camping tent technology.
The camping tent market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing popularity of outdoor activities and adventures. Camping tents come in various sizes and materials, including polyester, nylon, and canvas. The primary materials used in the production of camping tents are vegetable oils, such as Ricinoleic acid, which are used in the manufacturing of coatings and adhesives. The extraction of vegetable oils from nonedible sources like castor beans is done using methods like mechanical pressing and solvent extraction. Oil expellers and hydraulic pressing are commonly used for mechanical pressing, while solvent extraction involves the use of organic solvents like hexane, heptane, and petroleum ether.
The degumming process plant uses neutralizers like phosphoric acid and caustic to remove impurities from the extracted oil. The oil is then refined to produce soap stock, which is further processed to make soaps and lubricants. The final product, camping tents, undergo bleaching to improve their appearance and durability. Major players in the camping tent market include Coleman, Marmot, and MSR. They focus on providing high-quality and innovative products to meet the growing demand for outdoor recreational activities. The market is expected to continue growing due to the increasing trend of adventure tourism and the rising disposable income of consumers.
The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD Million" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018 - 2022 for the following segments.
The tunnel tents segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The camping tent market encompasses a range of products, including those made from Ricinoleic acid, a non-edible oil derived from the castor plant. This oil is utilized in the production of soaps, lubricants, coatings, and chemical products. In subtropical dry regions, castor oil is also used as a base stock for biodiesel production. The extraction process involves methods such as mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, and oil expeller techniques, including hydraulic pressing, cold pressing, Soxhlet extraction, and the use of organic solvents like hexane, heptane, and petroleum ether. Following extraction, the oil undergoes refining processes such as neutralization using phosphoric acid or caustic, degumming in a process plant, bleaching, and heating in an oil heat exchanger.
The resulting de-gummed castor oil is then stored in a buffering tank before being mechanically agitated and hydrated in a tank using hot water. The final product is then separated using a centrifugal separator and dried in a vacuum drier. These processes ensure the production of high-quality castor oil, which is used in the manufacturing of tunnel tents. These tents are popular among campers due to their ability to withstand strong winds, offering larger internal spaces, and accommodating 1-10 people. The segment is expected to dominate the camping tent market, particularly in Europe, due to increasing demand from Millennials seeking more comfort during their camping experiences.

Growth in adventure tourism is the key driver of the market. In the context of the growing trend towards healthy living and adventure activities, the demand for camping tents is experiencing significant growth. Europe, in particular, is witnessing an increase in the number of camping sites due to the rising popularity of adventure tourism. Urbanization in Europe, which was approximately 75% in 2020, and the increasing number of tourists are key factors contributing to this trend. The market is driven by the increasing demand for tents in subtropical dry regions, where adventure activities are popular. Ricinoleic acid, a nonedible oil derived from the castor bean, plays a crucial role in the production of camping tents.
This oil is used in the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, coatings, and chemical products. The extraction of ricinoleic acid is typically done through mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, or the use of an oil expeller. Once extracted, the oil undergoes a series of processes including hydraulic pressing, cold pressing, Soxhlet extraction, and the use of organic solvents such as hexane, heptane, or petroleum ether. The degumming process plant utilizes neutralizers like phosphoric acid or caustic to remove impurities from the oil. The oil is then refined through processes such as bleaching, which is done using an oil heat exchanger, and the addition of hydratable gums.
The final product, de-gummed castor oil, is then subjected to further processing, including the use of a mechanical agitator in a hydration tank, hot water, and a centrifugal separator. The oil is then dried using a vacuum drier to produce the final product, which is used in the production of camping tents and other related products.
The availability of technologically advanced camping tents is the upcoming trend in the market. Camping tents in the market are evolving with advanced features, focusing on sustainability and eco-friendliness. companies are utilizing non-edible oils, such as ricinoleic acid from castor beans, in the production of soaps, lubricants, coatings, and chemical products. The extraction process involves methods like mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, and oil expeller, using organic solvents like hexane, heptane, or petroleum ether. The degumming process employs neutralizers like phosphoric acid or caustic, followed by bleaching, oil heat exchanger, buffering tank, mechanical agitator, hydration tank, hot water, and hydratable gums. The centrifugal separator and vacuum drier are used for de-gummed castor oil processing. One example of a technologically advanced camping tents is the Coleman Cabin Tent with Instant Setup.
This tent features pre-assembled poles for quick setup within a minute. Its darkroom technology blocks 90% of sunlight, ensuring better sleep for campers. The Coleman Weather Tec system keeps floors dry, while the patented covered seams and corner welds prevent water intrusion. Another innovative tent is the REI Co-op Grand Hutt 4 Tent with vertical walls, increasing floor space and maintaining head height. These tents demonstrate the industry's commitment to enhancing the camping experience with advanced technology and eco-friendly materials.
The increasing availability of counterfeit camping tents is a key challenge affecting the market growth. The market faces challenges due to the proliferation of counterfeit tents, which are predominantly sold through online platforms. These imitation tents hinder the expansion of the camping tent industry during the forecast period. Counterfeit tents pose a significant risk to legitimate manufacturers, as they undermine brand reputation and customer trust. Notable brands like Big Agnes and The Coleman Company have reported the sale of counterfeit versions of their tents in Europe. These counterfeit tents are popular due to their lower prices, with the average retail price of an original tent from The Coleman Company ranging from USD150 to USD350. The production of counterfeit tents involves various chemical processes such as extraction, mechanical pressing, solvent extraction, oil expeller, hydraulic pressing, cold pressing, and Soxhlet extraction using organic solvents like hexane, heptane, and petroleum ether.
The resulting oil undergoes refining processes including neutralization using phosphoric acid, caustic, and soap stock, degumming in a process plant, bleaching, oil heat exchanger, buffering tank, mechanical agitator, hydration tank, hot water, hydratable gums, centrifugal separator, and vacuum drier to produce de-gummed castor oil for the production of tents. However, the use of substandard materials and processes in the production of counterfeit tents can lead to inferior product quality and potential safety hazards for consumers.
