The increasing urbanization rate is notably driving market growth. The urban population is rising in both developed and developing nations. In addition, the global population is shifting from rural to urban and semi-urban areas. For instance, in 2020, the urbanization rate for North America, Europe, APAC, and South America was 82.55%, 77%, 72%, and 81%, respectively. Moreover, according to the World Bank, by 2050, India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, and the US will most likely have the largest urban populations on the planet. Therefore, this has led to an increase in the income level of consumers and subsequent changes in their lifestyles. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The growing preference for customized outdoor backpacks is a primary trend in the market. The increasing demand for premium outdoor backpacks has compelled companies to focus on strategies such as faster delivery services, customization, and personalization. In addition, customization helps consumers purchase backpacks that suit their requirements. Moreover, this helps companies to meet the specific requirements of customers and maintain a strong relationship with them. In addition, several market players in the global outdoor backpacks market offer customization options. For example, Deuter offers Deuter AirContact Lite, a 45-liter with customizable options. Hence, such offerings are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Fluctuating raw material costs of backpacks is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. Outdoor backpacks utilize high-performance fabrics including Cordura, ripstop nylon, or waterproof materials. However, the prices of these fabrics can fluctuate based on factors like demand, availability, and the cost of manufacturing. Moreover, with a growing emphasis on sustainability, the cost of eco-friendly and recycled materials may vary, impacting the production costs of backpacks designed with a focus on environmental responsibility. In addition, the cost of high-quality zippers, particularly those that are durable and water-resistant, can fluctuate. Furthermore, zippers are a critical component of backpacks, and changes in costs can impact overall manufacturing expenses. Hence, such factors hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
