An inflatable tent is similar to any other conventional tent, although it uses inflatable airbags instead of ropes made of metal, plastic, or fiberglass. These airbags are inflated by means of hydraulic pumps and are stored in special tanks that hold them on top of a vehicle. Although there is a number of inflatable tents available, everyone ends the same, i.e. a conventional tent without any inflatable airbags. The main advantage of these Inflatable tents is their flexibility of applications, which can be adapted according to the requirements of the user. Most of the conventional tented camps are fixed on location which cannot be modified or adjusted according to the changing weather conditions. However, with the Inflatable designs, as the weight is decreased, the tent can be folded or dismantled in a simple way, so as to relocate them at convenient locations.
Growing popularity of outdoor recreational activities is expected to drive growth of the global inflatable tent market during the forecast period. The adoption of outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, mountain biking, camping, and motorcycling has increased across various economies. This is mainly due to rising disposable income in both developed and emerging economies. According to the World Bank, in 2018, adjusted net national income per capita was around US$ 9,290, increasing from US$ 7,627 in 2008. Consumers across the globe are increasingly spending on recreational as well as leisure activities. Thus, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global inflatable tent market. Furthermore, rising adventure tourism is expected to boost the global inflatable tent market growth over the forecast period.
However, high cost of inflatable tents mainly due to the technology used in manufacturing is expected to hamper the global inflatable tents market growth over the forecast period. Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the global inflatable tent market during the forecast period. This is owing to increasing number of people participating in outdoor activities such as camping across the region. Europe is expected to register a robust growth rate over the forecast period, owing to growing culture of hiking and camping combined with the rapid growth of trekking activities across the region.
Major companies involved in the global inflatable tent market are Alaska Structures, Inc., Zempire Camping Equipment, Kampa, Oase Outdoors, TenTube, ZEPELIN, Buildair Ingeniería y Arquitectura S.A., and Coleman Company, Inc.
For instance, in April 2019, TenTube launched a new inflatable tent that can be made ready-to-use in one minute.
