Camping Furniture Market Size – By Product, Material, Price Range, Distribution Channel Growth Forecast, 2026 – 2035

Camping Furniture Market Size

The camping furniture market was estimated at USD 5.4 billion in 2025. The market is expected to grow from USD 5.8 billion in 2026 to USD 9.9 billion in 2035, at a CAGR of 6.1% according to latest report published by Global Market Insights Inc.

Increasing numbers of consumers are engaging in outdoor experiences beyond their home base because of growing interest in outdoor and nature-related recreation. Urban drivers of stress, growing fatigue from screen use, and an increasing number of employees working from home have led people to look for short-duration opportunities to enjoy nature with friends and family, such as camping on the weekends, taking road trips, picnicking, or socially outdoors. Over time, camping has changed from being an activity pursued only by those interested in adventure-related activities, to camping being a leisure activity that many urban families, first-time campers and urban customers participate in to have access to recreational opportunities.
 

This trend represents a growing need for temporary and/or portable outdoor furniture to support the increasing demand for outdoor recreational activity. Camping furniture is a critical component of providing comfort, usability and accessibility to individuals engaged with outdoor recreation, as such; camping furniture creates an opportunity for increased participation within various market segments, providing an opportunity for future growth in volume and repeat purchases as consumers transition from product entry-level to a more refined outdoor recreation setup.
 

Consumer expectations have changed considerably over the past few years due to an increase in demand for comfort as a key factor in purchasing decisions when outdoors or camping, rather than just an added benefit. For today’s campers, finding stable, ergonomically supportive and easily used furniture for sitting down to eat or rest while enjoying the outdoors is very important. This change in expectations demonstrates that consumers are not willing to compromise on their physical comfort when participating in outdoor activities.
 

Increased importance on comfort makes way for premium and unique camping furniture options such as padded seats and adjustable/reclining designs; furniture with additional function features like arms and/or storage. Increased comfort-based demands are also leading to the purchasing of multiple items to create a cohesive setup for outdoor use instead of only purchasing one item for utility use. Therefore, companies that produce camping furniture focusing on these areas will have greater opportunities to capture the highest value segments of their respective markets.
 

Camping Furniture Market Trends

Camping furniture is changing rapidly due to a number of factors including changes in consumer lifestyles, expectations of comfort while camping, and significant changes in how products were designed and used. Currently camping furniture is viewed by consumers not only as functional outdoor items but rather as part of their overall physical and aesthetic lifestyle including portability, comfort, look, and versatility. As camping expands from traditional adventure users into families, urban consumers, and leisure visitors, producers will adjust their product lines to offer products suitable for a much wider range of use, price, and design.
 

• Consumer preferences for comfort while enjoying nature are continuing to drive change within the outdoor recreation industry. Today's consumers are looking for camping chairs and tables that provide comfort and are ergonomically designed versus simple, functional camping furniture. New features like having a padded seat, taller backrest, arms, and a higher load rating are becoming the norm instead of a bonus. This trend shows how consumers feel that being outside should be fun and relaxing, not hard work or physically taxing.
• As increasingly camping furniture becomes available, brands are marketing this new camping furniture in other ways than just camping. Many items are being marketed to be used in a variety of environments including backyards and balconies, at picnics, at festivals or events, and for a variety of activities throughout the year, thus reducing the seasonal buying cycles that have historically occurred with camping related purchases.
   
• The use of space and portability are two main considerations when designing new camping furniture, particularly given that an increasing number of consumers live in urban areas where storage space is often at a premium. Camping furniture with features such as foldable, lightweight, stackable or readily transportable is being sought after by many, as it facilitates easy and practical storage and mobility while providing the required degree of functionality.
   
• The influence of visual appeal and coherent design on the purchasing of camping furniture is becoming increasingly apparent. Many consumers are beginning to perceive camping furniture as being part of a well-curated outdoor experience; therefore, components like color schemes or materials and styling may now be just as important as performance in the decision to purchase camping furniture. Minimalist designs, neutral color tones and matching product ranges are becoming increasingly popular.
   

Camping Furniture Market Analysis

Based on product, the market is divided into chairs & stools, tables, cots, hammocks and others. In 2025, cots segment generating a revenue of USD 2.3 billion.
 

• The camping furniture market has seen an increase in the popularity of cots due to an increased need for better sleeping conditions when camping. Camping cots are designed to raise you up off the ground rather than sleeping on the ground like traditional sleeping systems. This allows you to be insulated from cold surfaces, receive better airflow, and have a more comfortable experience, which makes them attractive to all types of campers, especially for family campers, car campers and older adults who are looking for easy-to-use and supportive products versus minimalistic camping options.
   
• The camping industry has changed as camping has changed from shorter stays and more comfort-driven travel. Many cots now have a design that balances portability and strength, with folding frames, lightweight material, and fast set-up. Many products can now hold a higher maximum weight while still packing into smaller dimensions addressing some of the issues associated with cots such as durability, storing or transporting. Therefore, cots can now be considered a practical means of sleeping for a wider range of outdoor users rather than just a niche or premium item.
   
• Camping cots have the potential to provide significant value to consumer by having multiple options for different price points depending on material, frame construction, height adjustment option, and compatibility with a sleeping pad or mattress. Manufacturers of cots also include cots as a cross-product category through the development of cots to utilize in glamping, temporary accommodations, and emergency relief, hence why camping cots can continue to have growth opportunities in the camping furniture industry.
   

• As wood becomes more popular as a camping furniture material, it offers an excellent combination of natural aesthetic and functional strength; therefore, wooden elements will continue to be utilized for camping tables, storage units, benches, and high-end camping cots where significant rigidity and stable surfaces are essential. In addition, when compared with the metals or plastics of camping furniture, wood provides a warmer and more natural look, which enhances consumer appeal to those who want a more elegant camping experience versus a strictly utilitarian experience.
   
• From a performance standpoint, wood will often be found in the mid-range to high-end product lines of camping furniture; instead of solid wood, wood and metal frame combinations or engineered wood and/or laminated wood components will be utilized to help develop durable structures with added load bearing capacity. Even though solid wood is generally heavier than aluminum and/or plastic camping furniture, engineered wood, bamboo, and laminated wood components are typically being utilized to help reduce the overall weight of camping furniture, while maintaining the strength.
   
• The use of wood as a material supports differentiation by providing biophilic elements to consumers through sustainable narratives or design-led approaches. As a result, consumers are beginning to see wood as an environmentally friendly, durable, and high-quality material; especially when the wood is sourced responsibly or used in conjunction with minimalist design. Manufacturers can use these factors to justify premium prices and target lifestyle-oriented buyers, eco-resorts, and commercial camping sites as potential customers. However, wood furniture often requires extra care for weather resistance and moisture protection, meaning the finishing and maintenance of the material must be considered when developing successful products in the market.
   

Based on distribution channel, the camping furniture market is segmented into direct sales and indirect sales. In 2025, indirect sales segment held the largest market share, generating a revenue of USD 3.7 billion.
 

• The offline segment has always been the primary sales channel in market. Camping furniture is often tactile and experiential in nature, which makes it ideal for in-store shopping. Consumers tend to want to physically touch the product prior to making their purchase, as there are many factors that cannot be adequately evaluated when shopping online for camping furniture. Outdoor specialty stores, sporting goods stores, and large-format retail stores provide the consumer with an opportunity to test the products out in-store, which gives these stores and channels added importance when it comes to selling high-value and heavy camping furniture.
   
• Offline channels also benefit from the influx of customers during the summer vacation period and from the peak in outdoor activity. In-store product demonstrations by knowledgeable sales staff as well as bundle promotions can assist customers to make their buying decisions, particularly first-time campers and families. Customers feel a greater degree of comfort shopping from offline retailers as many of their concerns regarding shipping costs, product damage during shipping, and product returns continue to be primary barriers for customers purchasing camping furniture via online retailers. Therefore, despite the continuing rise of e-commerce, offline retailers continue to be an important part of selling camping furniture.
