The younger population, in particular, is looking for unique and immersive experiences, driving the demand for camping trips. Additionally, with an increasing focus on wellness and nature-based activities, camping has become a popular choice for eco-conscious consumers.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the camping market in India is the rise of glamping, which combines the experience of camping with luxury amenities. This trend caters to consumers who want to enjoy the outdoors without compromising on comfort. Another trend is the growth of camping festivals and group camping trips, providing social and community-based experiences for campers. Additionally, the market is seeing an increase in the availability of camping gear and accessories, making it easier for individuals to participate in camping activities.
