Recreational Vehicle (RV) Market Analysis
The Recreational Vehicle Market size is estimated at USD 33.23 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 49.18 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.15% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 crisis tremendously affected the tourism industry across the world. This derailed the sales of recreational vehicles in the market for a few months in the first half of the year 2020. However, the market's slow recovery and consumers' preference to stay in caravans than hotels can stimulate the market's growth during the forecast period. The high proliferation of rental services in emerging economies is also expected to drive the market in focus for the short term.
The growing number of active campers is contributing to the demand for RVs. The commercial usage of RVs is on the rise. Growth in peer-to-peer rental services is expected to increase popularity among millennials, which are increasingly seeking rental services. Furthermore, the increasing demand for road trips as a getaway from work-life may boost the market growth. The post-lockdown has witnessed significant growth in the use of recreational vehicles across the globe, especially in North America and Europe.
North America is likely to dominate the market. Moreover, it may expand during the forecast period, propelled by a rapidly growing number of regional recreational parks and camping grounds. More than 13,000 privately-owned and 1,600 public campgrounds within the United States enable individuals to experience camping activities with their recreational vehicles.
Because of the increase in the popularity of recreational activities, the global recreational vehicle market is expected to witness rapid growth, especially in North America and Europe. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. As these vehicles provide a reliable and personal way to travel, it is considered the safest travel alternative because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
